Additionally, Dr. Parish highlighted the intersection of renewable energy, data centers, and hydrogen storage. She emphasized, “Our need for energy and electricity is not going away.” She discussed the potential synergy between renewable energy and green hydrogen storage as a promising way to efficiently address the energy needs of expanding data centers.

The podcast concluded with insights into Dr. Parish’s research into organic radical molecules for designing environmentally friendly batteries. Her expertise in computational chemistry, coupled with ongoing projects, illustrated the role of computational science in advancing sustainable energy solutions.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into the complex relationship between AI, computer science, and renewable energy, putting Dr. Carol Parish’s work at the forefront of innovative solutions for a greener future.

Carol Parish received her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Purdue University. Dr. Parish is the Floyd D. and Elisabeth S. Gottwald Professor of Chemistry and Associate Provost for Academic Integration at the University of Richmond. She specializes in data analysis and computational simulations that provide atomistic insights into important problems in drug design, sensors, alternative energy sources, and CO₂ capture. She has mentored more than 110 undergraduate students, authored 70 research publications, and raised more than $4 million in research support from the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, American Chemical Society, and Jeffress and Dreyfus Foundations. She is co-editor of the two-volume series Physical Chemistry Research at Undergraduate Institutions, published by the American Chemical Society. She has received awards for her work, including the 2019 American Chemical Society Award for Research at Undergraduate Institutions, the 2018 State Council in Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) Outstanding Faculty Award, the University of Richmond Distinguished Educator Award, and the Stanley Israel ACS Award for Advancing Diversity in the Chemical Sciences. She received a Fulbright Fellowship in 2012 to conduct research at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She co-founded the University of Richmond’s Integrated and Inclusive Science (IIS) program. IIS focuses on supporting all students in their pursuit of scientific excellence; particularly students who have historically not received such support. She also co-founded the MERCURY Supercomputer consortium, which has trained hundreds of students in computational science and mentored over 50 faculty members. Currently, Dr. Parish serves as the Associate Provost for Academic Integration, where she is responsible for supporting programs in Data Science/Data Analytics, as well as Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Integrated Learning. She supports the Quantitative Resource Center, Academic Advising Resource Center, Speech Center, Writing Center, Technology Learning Center, and the English Language Learning Center, and coordinates academic program reviews for departments and programs across the university.

About NewHydrogen, Inc.

NewHydrogen develops ThermoLoop^™ – a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat instead of electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen. Hydrogen is the cleanest and most abundant element in the universe, and we can’t live without it. Hydrogen is the key ingredient in making fertilizers needed to grow food for the world. It’s also used in transportation, refining oil, and making steel, glass, pharmaceuticals, and more. Nearly all hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are dirty and limited resources. Water, on the other hand, is an infinite and renewable global resource.

Currently, the most common method for making green hydrogen is to split water into oxygen and hydrogen using an electrolyzer using green electricity produced by the sun or wind. However, green electricity is and always will be very expensive. It currently accounts for 73% of the cost of green hydrogen. By using heat directly, we can bypass the expensive process of making electricity and fundamentally reduce the cost of green hydrogen. Low-cost heat can be obtained from concentrated solar power, geothermal energy, nuclear reactors, and industrial waste heat for use in our novel, low-cost thermochemical water splitting process. In collaboration with a world-class research team at UC Santa Barbara, our goal is to help usher in the green hydrogen economy that Goldman Sachs estimates has a future market value of $12 trillion.
