DESCRIPTION:This event is hybrid. Register to receive the Zoom link or atte
 nd in-person: 35-225.\n\n***\n\nPaul Eremenko '01 is the co-founder and Ch
 ief Executive Officer (CEO) of Universal Hydrogen Co.\, a company striving
  to bring about zero-emissions aviation with zero infrastructure by comple
 ting the end-to-end hydrogen value chain for the aviation sector. \n\nAfte
 r emigrating from Ukraine to the United States with his parents at age 11\
 , Paul Eremenko earned his pilot’s license before his driver’s license
  and set his aim on being an aerospace engineer. MIT cemented that aspirat
 ion. Today\, he is a co-founder and the CEO of Universal Hydrogen Co.\, a 
 Los Angeles–based startup developing hydrogen storage\, transport\, and 
 distribution solutions and hydrogen power trains for commercial aircraft.\
 n\nLast spring\, Eremenko launched Universal Hydrogen to create what he be
 lieves is a realistic path toward those emission reduction targets. His fe
 llow MIT alum and former advisor John-Paul Clarke ’91\, SM ’92\, ScD 
 ’97 is a co-founder and CTO. The company’s key innovations are lightwe
 ight modular capsules for delivering “green hydrogen” from renewable e
 nergy production sites to the airplane\, as well as a fuel cell conversion
  kit that they intend to have ready by 2025 to replace the existing turbin
 e engine in airplanes used for short regional flights. The founders envisi
 on that by the early 2030s\, larger hydrogen-powered planes will be built 
 from scratch\, once the technology has gained safety certification and pas
 senger acceptance in regional service.\n\n***\n\nThe Aerospace Innovation 
 Seminar Series invites the biggest names in entrepreneurial aerospace to c
 ome and share their experiences\, challenges\, and lessons learned while b
 uilding their respective careers.\n\nThis seminar series is part of the ne
 w Certificate in Aerospace Innovation offered by the MIT Department of Aer
 onautics & Astronautics in collaboration with the MIT Innovation Initiativ
 e and the Martin Trust MIT Center for Entrepreneurship. Learn more about t
 he Certificate in Aerospace Innovation.
