    Part 2: Pipelines: Navigating Risks in the Hydrogen Ecosystem / Larry Young and Dan Fujinaga

    In this continued conversation on Hydrogen 2.0, we return to Larry Young, CEO and Founder of Total Containment Inc, and Dan Fujinaga, Department Manager of Pipeline Integrity and Operations at C-FER Technologies, for a deeper look at risk in the hydrogen ecosystem. Recorded at the 2026 Canadian Hydrogen Convention, this episode digs into what it will take to earn public trust in hydrogen, from the lessons learned across other energy sectors to the role pilot programs, like Edmonton's hydrogen bus fleet, play in building a track record of safe performance. Larry and Dan also unpack the current state of pipeline testing and development, the technical limitations of testing hydrogen at scale, and why bringing the public along for the ride, through transparency and incremental progress, will be just as important as the engineering itself.
