In this episode of the H2 Liftoff podcast, host Tim La Valle sits down with Andrew Cottone, founder and CEO of Aternium. Andrew details the company’s innovative, patent-pending business model that combines clean hydrogen production with deuterium (heavy water) isolation to significantly lower the levelized cost of hydrogen. He shares his entrepreneurial journey and explains how Aternium is tackling a critical U.S. supply chain vulnerability by establishing domestic deuterium production. Andrew highlights Aternium's pre-FEED study with Kiewit, their revolutionary integration of Honeywell’s AI-driven digital twin technology, and sourcing electricity produced by nuclear power through a power purchase agreement (PPA).
