Have you ever heard of green hydrogen made from biomass?? We hadn’t either until we hosted Christopher Headrick on the podcast. As the founder and chairman of H2 Energy Group, Christopher is working on a new method of green hydrogen production that uses cuttings and fallen biomass from trees. Not only does this prevent decomposing biomass from emitting GHGs into the atmosphere, but it also has the added benefit of eliminating fire hazards by cleaning up forests.
