Chief Executive Officer, Arculus Solutions
Gianluca Roscioli joins Breakthrough Energy’s Innovator Fellows program from Arculus Solutions in Washington, DC. He brings nearly a decade of materials engineering and metallurgy research experience and currently works as chief executive officer of Arculus Solutions.
Arculus Solutions works to future-proof current natural gas transmission pipelines to safely transport hydrogen. By applying a multilayer hydrogen-barrier coating to the internal surface of natural gas pipelines, their technology will enable existing steel-based natural gas pipelines and other infrastructure to safely transport clean hydrogen and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a clean fuel across industries. Through the Fellows program, Arculus will develop the robot that will be used to apply their patented coating.
