Optimising Green Hydrogen to Fuel the Future with Fredrik Mowill | Conversations in Cleantech | Season four, Episode Nine
In our final episode of Conversations in Cleantech series four, all about hydrogen, we are delighted to welcome Fredrik Mowill, Co-Founder and CEO of Hystar. Hystar is a high-tech company specialising in PEM electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen from electrolysis. What differentiates Hystar is their patented thin membrane which allows for significantly improved efficiency in the production of their green hydrogen. Although the company has only been operational for two years, they are already about to launch their first semi-commercial project and have just completed their Series B funding round. Fredrik joined our host Jenny Gladman to discuss the Hystar journey from its early stages to its future plans. This is also not Fredrik's first cleantech business, as such, he knows a thing or two about what it takes to be successful in the space and was kind enough to offer his wisdom to first-time cleantech founders.
