New Tools for LH2


After 40 years of developing cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH2) technologies and systems for many organizations, it's time for a significant business pivot at Moran Innovation. The global community needs more widely available tools and resources to move faster on decarbonizing our energy usage with hydrogen. And your help is needed to ensure that that these new LH2 tools and resources meet your most critical needs and solve your most pressing problems.

The first building block of this pivot is a new cryogenic liquid hydrogen systems book under development with a leading publisher. The focus is on the knowledge needed to develop operational systems and technologies for emerging applications. A holistic perspective addresses engineering, business, and strategy aspects of successful integration and deployment of innovative cryogenic hydrogen systems. What topics would you like to see addressed in this book?

The second building block is development of an online software as a service (SaaS) portal. It will contain integrated tools and resources to enable faster planning, development, and launch of new LH2 systems. The focus is on learning, innovating, creating, building, operating, leading, and strategizing. All content will be created, curated, verified, and validated based on subject matter expertise to provide the highest quality information and results. What specific tools and resources would be most useful to you in this online portal?

Please let me know your thoughts on the book and portal by whatever communication method is most convenient. Thank you for any feedback you can provide, and let's continue creating a better future together with hydrogen!
