🌿 HyCooker: A Yearlong Journey of Innovation to Unveiling Our Showcase Prototype ♨️💧   Our team at Impact Hydrogen is spearheading the development of the HyCooker, an innovative green energy solution that utilises the power of green hydrogen to generate a clean and efficient cooking flame.    🌍 In many regions, communities face the challenge of access to safe and clean cooking fuel. Traditional methods not only harm the environment but also pose health risks, especially for women and children. To address this pressing issue, we envisioned a revolutionary solution - the HyCooker.    The HyCooker represents a monumental leap forward in promoting sustainable cooking practices. By utilising green hydrogen as a clean and reliable fuel, it offers a safe and eco-friendly alternative for indoor and outdoor cooking.   In our upcoming posts, we will take you on a journey through the roadmap of the HyCooker, detailing how we plan to achieve this ambitious goal. From partnerships to research insights, safety measures to prototype, and ultimately the big reveal of our showcase model in South Africa during the Official Economic Trade Mission, we'll share every step of this transformative journey.    What to expect in this five-part series…  🛣️ Roadmap: How are we planning to achieve this transformation?  🤝 Partnerships: Who are our allies in this endeavor?  🔬 Research and Glocal Impact: Discover our global vision and local implementations.  📢 Last Announcement and Teaser: A teaser to the big reveal – design sketches.  🔧 Prototype and Reveal: A glimpse into the exciting progress and what lies ahead.    To learn more about our broader approach and the Sustainable Hydrogen Valley, visit https://lnkd.in/gSTaJ-Dc.    Together, let's cook up a greener, healthier future! 🌎💚     #HyCooker #GreenHydrogen #Sustainability #ImpactHydrogen #FutureOfCooking

My latest podcast for Ecotextile News ⬇ The first in a new three-part series called: Threaded Together, looking at innovation in the field of 'sustainable cotton' and supported by Cotton Incorporated. In the first episode we *ask: Why so many cellulosic fibres are found in oceans if cotton biodegrades so quickly? Which country in the world has the highest toilet paper use per capita? What is 'Flipped Composting' and why it could help with capture even more carbon from cotton? *One question, is a clue to answering another question. Some links below Spotify https://lnkd.in/eyk7KKkZ Apple https://lnkd.in/eXhMXzyz

Had a great time with Jesse Daystar, Ph.D. discussing the interesting roles cotton textiles can play in our transition to a carbon-negative bioeconomy. Check out the podcast in the link below. https://lnkd.in/e7SRjUk2
