Katie then provides an update on De Beers' parent Anglo American's initiative to develop the first hydrogen powered mine haul truck. Lastly, the two discuss what carbon-neutral diamonds could mean for consumers' perception of natural diamonds.   Hosted by: Paul Zimnisky Guest: Katie Fergusson Guest plug: https://www.debeersgroup.com More information on PZDA's State of the Diamond Market report: www.paulzimnisky.com/products   Show contact: [email protected] or visit www.paulzimnisky.com.   Please note that the contents of this podcast includes anecdotes, observations and opinions.
