Hydrogen energy is emerging as an exciting, yet extremely challenging, energy frontier—and researchers at the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources are working hard to ensure the state is on the cutting edge and ready to embrace the potential of hydrogen. In this episode of Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape, we sit down with Charles Nye and Sarah Buckhold from SER’s Hydrogen Energy Research Center to explore innovative projects underway in the state. From producing hydrogen using produced water, to investigating naturally occurring geologic hydrogen, to creating hydrogen from iron-rich rocks beneath the surface, Wyoming researchers are at the cutting edge of discovery. We also discuss what these technologies could mean for Wyoming’s future economy and its position as a leader in next-generation energy.

In this episode of Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape, we sit down with Joe Miller of BWXT, a global leader in nuclear technology and manufacturing. Joe shares insights from his own career journey and leadership approach, gives an inside look at BWXT’s mission and capabilities, and discusses why the company is exploring Wyoming as the potential site for a new nuclear manufacturing facility. We explore what this opportunity could mean for Wyoming’s workforce, energy future, and role in advancing innovative technologies.

In this episode of Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape, we're diving into the heart of energy, combustion, and novel technology with a pioneer in the field — Dr. Richard Axelbaum.

Dr. Axelbaum is a professor at Washington University in St. Louis and the Director of the Consortium for Clean Coal Utilization. For decades, he’s been at the forefront of combustion science, from studying soot and pollutant formation to developing cutting-edge techniques to carryout combustion with integrated carbon capture.

In today’s conversation, we’ll explore his novel research, what next steps might be, and why he thinks Wyoming might just be the right place to test his most advanced technology, called staged pressurized oxy-combustion.
