Can hydrogen truly decarbonize heavy industries without the CO₂ baggage?
In Episode 2 of the H₂ Dialogue: Fuelling the Future Podcast Series, Jackwell Feris, Director and the Sector Head: Industrials, Manufacturing & Trade, sits down with Dr Johan Brand, CEO and Technical Director of BurnStar Technologies, to unpack their breakthrough molten‑metal reforming process branded “Guilt‑Free Hydrogen™”.
Fresh from attending BurnStar’s launch event at the end of August 2025, this technology is more than a concept. It promises hydrogen production with zero process CO₂, modular deployment, and energy use claims up to 8× lower than electrolysis, a potential game changer for green steel, refining, and other hard‑to‑abate sectors.
The topics addressed in this podcast include:
- How the technology works (and why it matters)
- Use‑cases that pencil first in Southern Africa
- Bankability, risk, and what early adopters need to know
- Myth‑busting: cost, carbon disposal, and scale
