Building Hydrogen Fueling Stations: Cost, Safety and Scale Explained | Ep. 66 [Salim Rahemtulla]
Feb 10, 2026 Season 1 Episode 66
Leeanne Aguilar, Ph.D.

Hydrogen is often talked about as the fuel of the future, but what does it actually look like in practice?

In this episode of Industry Ignited, host Dr. Leeanne Aguilar sits down with Salim Rahemtulla, President and CEO of PowerTap Hydrogen Fuel Corp, to break down how hydrogen fuel cell vehicles work, where they make sense, and where they donโ€™t. From 20-minute heavy-duty refueling to water-only tailpipe emissions, this conversation cuts through the noise and gets into real-world infrastructure, not science fiction.

Salim explains why hydrogen may not be the best solution for every vehicle, but could be transformative for long-haul trucking, transit buses, forklifts and industrial applications where downtime and payload matter. He also addresses safety concerns head-on, explaining how modern hydrogen storage and fueling systems are designed, regulated and deployed today.
