Hydrogen for the Holidays: It Won’t Shoot Your Eye Out
In A Christmas Story, little Ralphie’s dream was a Red Ryder BB gun—and every adult warned, “You’ll shoot your eye out.” Today, dreamers of a different kind are aiming higher: toward the clean skies of hydrogen-powered flight. And guess what? Hydrogen won’t shoot your eye out—it might just save the planet.

Josh McMorrow of Path2 Hydrogen & GenH2 on HYSKY Pod: Hydrogen is Liquid Electricity
McMorrow confirms that GenH2 has been in discussions with ZeroAvia for several years, primarily around liquefiers. Aviation companies working on drones, eVTOL aircraft or even larger planes will almost always need liquid hydrogen on site. Even if they store gaseous hydrogen onboard, the most efficient way to keep fuel available is to store it as liquid and vaporize it before fueling.
