Inside JCB's land speed record run at Bonneville

Chay Kin Wah, Regional Chief Executive for ASEAN, Pacific and China and President of Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte. Ltd., discusses the future of natural gas and LNG in Southeast Asia, digital transformation, cybersecurity and decarbonization efforts shaping the industry.

In this episode, a leading UK hydrogen industry advocate and clean-energy investor, Lord Jo Bamford, discusses the real-world bottlenecks facing hydrogen production, infrastructure and demand, how fuel-cell and combustion technologies compare for different applications, and what price points and policy shifts are needed to make hydrogen commercially competitive without government support. The conversation also covers a recent record-breaking hydrogen combustion speed run and what it signals about the technology's potential, plus the milestones that would mark a genuine UK hydrogen economy within five years. A must-listen for energy and transport professionals tracking hydrogen's shift from pilot projects to commercial scale.

In this episode, JCB engineer Simon Dowson discusses breaking a land speed record with a H2 combustion streamliner at the Bonneville Salt Flats, the twin-engine technology adapted from construction equipment and why H2 combustion offers a practical path forward for heavy equipment where EVs and fuel cells fall short.

For downstream operators, environmental performance can no longer be separate from operational performance. A missed emissions issue, delayed test result, unreliable monitoring system or fragmented compliance workflow can affect uptime, permit confidence, worker safety, community trust and the ability to move through critical operating windows without disruption. In this discussion, Jenna Granstra, Director of Project Development, Onterris, explores how leading downstream organizations are building environmental programs that directly support operational assurance, reliability and efficiency. 

In this episode, cybersecurity expert Paul Smith, Honeywell Technologies, discusses the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape, the impact of artificial intelligence on cyber threats and strategies for industrial cybersecurity resilience. A must-listen for industry professionals aiming to stay ahead in cybersecurity.

Hydrogen's production costs are falling fast, but getting the gas from point A to point B remains the industry's overlooked bottleneck. Recorded live at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, Jim Watkins sits down with Dr. Jahan Kanga, CEO of Australian startup RUX Energy, to dig into why storage and transport are still the Achilles' heel of the hydrogen economy. Jahan explains how metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could cut midstream costs from $10-20/kg to under $1/kg, what their containerized Harmony storage unit means for maritime and off-grid applications, and why the regulatory conversation is finally moving in the right direction.

Live from the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, Jim Watkins sits down with Alexander Tancock, CEO of InterContinental Energy, to discuss why bigger is better when it comes to green hydrogen. Alex breaks down how his team's 11-year bet on off-grid, gigascale renewable projects is finally hitting its stride, why recent energy security concerns are accelerating the conversation, and how their patented "node" system is changing the economics of green hydrogen production from the ground up.

This episode explores the development and importance of the new API bolted flange joint (BFJ) certification program, featuring insights from industry experts Andri Orphanides, Director of Individual Certification Programs, API, and Andy Smith, Director of Training, VSP Technologies. Learn about the BFJ certification program, the certification process, and industry impact and importance of bolted flange joint competency.

In this episode, Charles McConnell, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy, discusses the evolution of carbon capture, utilization,and storage (CCUS), its market dynamics in the U.S. and Europe, and the future of energy transition investments. Insights include the importance of monetizing CO2, industry decarbonization strategies, and technological innovations in monitoring and reporting.

In this episode, we sat down with Johnson Matthey’s U.S. President, Krista Johnson, to break down how the company is driving modern energy innovation. From emissions breakthroughs to platinum-powered clean tech, this conversation challenges the idea of energy transition and reframes it as something bigger: transformation.
