To subscribe to Energy Tech ReviewVisit www.energytechreview.com EDITOR'S DESKThe U.S. energy technology landscape is rapidly evolving, with two breakthrough areas gaining critical momentum--hydrogen liquid storage solutions and next-generation rock breaking technologies. These innovations are foundational to the clean energy transition. Hydrogen offers a scalable, zero-emission fuel alternative, while advanced rock fragmentation technologies enable efficient infrastructure development and sustainable resource access.The Inflation Reduction Act and other federal initiatives have ignited unprecedented investment in hydrogen infrastructure. Among the most promising frontiers is liquid hydrogen storage, prized for its high energy density and potential across sectors from aviation to heavy transport. Innovators are pushing the limits of cryogenic tank design and advanced insulation to reduce energy loss and ensure safe, long-range hydrogen mobility.In parallel, rock breaking technology is undergoing a renaissance. Traditional blasting is giving way to precision-driven methods such as non-explosive chemical agents, electrohydraulic systems, and AI-guided drilling platforms. These solutions are revolutionizing how we excavate for underground hydrogen storage, lay long-distance pipelines, and access geothermal reservoirs--all while minimizing environmental impact and labor risks.Yet, systemic hurdles remain. The hydrogen sector continues to face regulatory uncertainty, supply chain bottlenecks, and a growing shortage of skilled technical labor. Outdated grid and pipeline infrastructure compounds the challenge, requiring urgent upgrades to safely integrate hydrogen and other distributed energy resources.In this issue, we spotlight Petram Technologies, a trailblazer in rock fragmentation that delivers an unprecedented 2.4 gigawatts of discharge from just one kilowatt-hour--a leap in energy efficiency with wide-ranging implications.We also feature expert opinions from Robert Gomez, Head of Onshore Asset Management at Ørsted, and Doug Kilmer, Vice President, Resource Management, Renewables Delivery Team at TRC Companies. Their insights illuminate where hydrogen and excavation technologies intersect--and what must happen next.We hope these insights support your strategic, data-driven decisions as we collectively shape the next chapter of energy innovation.Let us know your thoughts.Charlotte SmithManaging Editoreditor@energytechreview.comThe Technologies Powering America's Clean Energy Transition*Some of the Insights are based on our interviews with CIOs and CXOsVisualizersMichael WayneChris LynnManaging EditorCharlotte SmithE ERGYTech ReviewEditorial StaffAaron Pierce Ava GarciaVian IsaacAbner LawrenceJoshua Parker Kenny PeruzziEmailsales@energytechreview.comeditor@energytechreview.commarketing@energytechreview.com
