Alex: Thanks for having me Spiffy! As you might know, food waste is a global issue and a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Meanwhile, the world needs affordable, zero-emission energy. We’ve created Electro-Active Technologies to help solve both of these challenges  by utilizing organic waste to generate renewable products, such as hydrogen. Our circular approach to hydrogen production can create a negative carbon pathway by reducing transportation, abating landfill emissions, and replacing fossil fuel use.
