Launch HN: HyLight (YC S23) – Hydrogen airships to inspect energy infrastructure
Hi HN, we’re Thomas, Martin, Théo, and Josef, cofounders at HyLight ( https://www.hylight.aero ). We build and operate autonomous hydrogen airships to inspect energy infrastructure like pipelines and power lines. Here’s a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuW5ur8ER7A . Energy infrastructure operators (utility companies) struggle with conducting precise inspections of their assets. It is extremely important for them because they need to make sure that the network is in good condition to avoid outages and leaks. This infrastructure has big impacts when it is malfunctioning. For instance, methane leaks from oil and gas infrastructure represent 4% of global carbon emissions every year (and approx. $7B worth of losses in Northern America and Europe). Gas and power networks are physically so large (more than 47M miles globally) that millions of miles of inspection
