Sarah works with Dr. Bob Koch and the Mechanical Engineering Energy Control Team, where she focuses on converting heavy-duty diesel engines to hydrogen–diesel dual-fuel operation. She explains how this technology works, what it takes to retrofit existing diesel engines, and how it can help reduce emissions while using the vehicles and systems we have today.

With Mayor Hnatiw (Sturgeon County), we talk about the job of a hub—not hype, but the work of getting the right people around the same table, aligning efforts and vision, and derisking early investments. We share a couple of real examples of how hub models and cohesive leadership have accelerated momentum. You’ll also hear what this series will dig into next, and where we’re headed in our economy, and why it's important.
