The 1895 Podcast is a content-driven podcast for the global industrial gases business, bringing together topical news, views and analysis of the stories that matter in the industry.
Listen, as we discuss the biggest stories of the day for the industry, taking a deeper dive into the big projects and announcements making the news and adding new insights and analysis.
We also discuss and chronicle the key inflection points of the industry’s future – on a regional, technological and applications level – and its increasingly critical role in the energy transition of today and tomorrow
In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, we speak with Ralph Müller, CEO of H2Fly, about the reality of hydrogen aviation and what it will take to move the technology from demonstration flights to commercial service.
We discuss why H2Fly is betting on liquid hydrogen, the potential role of hydrogen-electric propulsion in smaller and regional aircraft, and why designing entirely new aircraft could unlock greater opportunities. We also cover some of the industry's biggest challenges, including certification, infrastructure, hydrogen supply, cost and the commitment needed from aircraft manufacturers.
With H2Fly targeting the next stage of its flight-testing programme and commercial hydrogen-electric aircraft potentially emerging in the early 2030s, just how close are we to seeing hydrogen-powered planes become a regular sight in the skies?

Industrial gases financials: headwinds, growth and what comes next?
The latest financial results from the industrial gas majors are in, but what do they really tell us about the health and direction of the industry?
In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, we pick through the latest results from Air Liquide, Air Products, Linde and Nippon Sanso, looking beyond the headline numbers to examine the trends shaping performance.
From stronger margins and pricing management to continued pressure on underlying volumes and tighter capital expenditure, the results reveal an industry still navigating a range of headwinds.
At the same time, one theme continues to stand out - electronics. With semiconductor and electronics demand playing an increasingly important role in growth across the majors, the question is, where does the next major growth opportunity come from?

Gas distribution done right: design, reliability, and performance from source to point-of-use
Gas distribution systems play a critical role in facilities across a wide range of industries, from laboratories and research environments to energy, manufacturing, healthcare, and industrial processing. Yet these systems are often overlooked until performance, reliability, or safety issues arise.
In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, Mike Strobel, Director of Engineering Services at Swagelok NYC | NJ | Philadelphia and Swagelok MENA, discusses the fundamentals of gas distribution system design, common challenges organisations face, and the steps operators can take to improve system reliability and performance. Mike shares practical insights on how organisations across multiple industries can improve safety, reliability, and operational efficiency through better gas distribution practices.
