#54 - Reducing the Cost of GreenHydrogen with Mariam Awara of Pulsenics

Hello everyone and welcome back to CleanTechies the Podcast. This is episode 54. ________If you are a climate tech founder with specific questions you'd like us to ask -- OR -- looking for capital and strategic partner introductions, please reach out to me via the Slack Channel or LinkedIn and we are glad to help in any way we can.  ________Today our episode is with Mariam Awara. Mariam is COO at Pulsenics Inc. Pulsenics is a Canada-based IoT device company that is helping enable electrochemistry at scale. A simpler way to put it is; they have a hardware and software solution that helps significantly reduce the operating costs of electrochemical industrial processes. Today our conversation largely revolved around how they are helping significantly reduce the costs of creating green hydrogen. We discussed the existing problem, how their tech works, and how they are solving it. To give you a precursor, in the event you're not a big fan of deep science, they have a device that helps monitor the internals of expensive machinery such as electrolyzes to identify when issues are starting so they can be fixed before a large breakdown. The same way preventative health helps avoid health crises. Please enjoy today's conversation! Main Talking Points: Intro to MariamHow she got into ClimateTechEvolution of the companyHow hard-tech is developed What they are doingWhere do they fit into clean-electrochemical projectsHow they are helpingIntegration with existing techThe ROI componentThe industries they support (outside of GH) Common objections and challengesNext bottlenecks to solveRegulatory landscape and concernsTalent landscapeWhat degrees to pursue for this fieldFundraising and it's evolution Keeping long-term visionThe futureClosingWe hope you enjoy today's episode - please reach out with any specific questions or discussion points.
