## Summary

Fabian Alefeld hosts an episode of Additive Snack featuring Quan Lac, VP of Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Energy, and Pierre Forêt, Head of AM at Linde. They discuss how additive manufacturing (AM) supports the energy transition, specifically through enhancing gas turbine efficiency and enabling hydrogen combustion at Siemens Energy, and by improving electrolyzer performance to reduce the cost of green hydrogen at Linde. The conversation covers the technical details of gas turbine operation, the challenges of scaling green hydrogen production, and the broader industrial applications of hydrogen in steel and aviation.
