H2 View speaks with Danny Seals, General Manager Hydrogen at ANGI Energy Systems, A Vontier Company, for its 12 Days of Content.
2023 has been a pretty monumental year for hydrogen generally. What have the highlights been from ANGI Energy Systems’ perspective?
One of the most significant milestones in 2023 has been the securing of substantial funding both in North America and the EU. In the US, the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs programme (H2Hubs) and the inclusion of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). On the European front, the Innovation Fund’s allocation for over €3bn ($3.2bn) for the launch of the EU Hydrogen Bank. These financial injections are pivotal as they enable the necessary infrastructure development to support the burgeoning demand for hydrogen mobility.
The funding to build the infrastructure will serve vehicles that are now in production and on the road today – rather than vehicles to come – I think is a big win for the heavy-duty hydrogen mobility space where we participate most heavily. It’s clear from an OEM perspective, there is a thirst for hydrogen and belief in it as a long-term fuel of the future.
