Texas natural hydrogen production firm appoints new CEO

The new executive is tasked with advancing from field piloting to commercialization the technology that makes natural hydrogen from uneconomical oil in spent wells.

Gold H2, the Houston-based clean-hydrogen producing company, has hired Prabhdeep Singh Sekhon as Chief Executive Officer, according to a news release.

Sekhon was most recently with NextEra Energy Resources’ Strategy and New Business Development team. At Gold H2 his focus will be to advance the technology from field piloting to commercialization.

“This strategic hire marks a significant milestone in Gold H2’s mission to transform uneconomical, non-productive oil wells into mass hydrogen-producing assets, a business model that will reshape the traditional oil and gas industry landscape,” the release states.

Cemvita Factory had previously operated its Gold Hydrogen technology as a business unit focused on a field pilot program. Following successful field trial results in 2022, Cemvita spun out Gold H2 as a separate business.

The company raised and closed funding into the entity, led by founding investors Chart Industries and 8090 Industries, in 2022.
