The hydrogen goldrush is the latest frontier of the energy wars. Rich and Matt examine the latest breakthroughs in hydrogen energy technology and look at its green credentials. Join them as they unpack the science behind green, blue, and even geologic hydrogen, and explore its potential to power our cars, trucks, and even airplanes of the future.



The pair also dive into the exciting possibility of extracting naturally occurring gold hydrogen from underground deposits, which could significantly boost the hydrogen fuel revolution. Is hydrogen the missing piece in the clean energy puzzle and a way to diversify our energy sources? Or just a convenient way for Matt to pour shade on EVs?

Climate change poses an unprecedented threat to both Malaysia and the global community. In Malaysia, the increasing frequency and intensity of climate-induced events, such as the devastating floods in 2021 which displaced approximately 400,000 individuals, underscore the nation's vulnerability and the urgent need for robust adaptation and resilience strategies.

We speak with Dr Rezal Khairi Ahmad, CEO of NanoMalaysia, to explore the urgent topic of climate resilience. With Malaysia facing significant challenges such as floods and landslides, it is crucial to understand the strategies and innovations driving the nation's efforts to adapt and thrive.
