In this episode of Hydrogen 2.0, we talk with Sarah Leichsenring, a grad research assistant and master’s student in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Alberta. 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.
