In order to make concrete and rapid progress, the EU can today make up for this lack of consistency by structurally stimulating demand, says Christophe Dubruque, Mobility Sales Director Europe at Lhyfe.
If some or all of these predictions are correct, we expect to see a greater number of large, well-sponsored projects taking FID by Q4 2025, says Dan Feldman, Global Head, Energy at king & Spalding.
If this industry wants to find its path to success, it must begin answering the tough questions, writes H2 View Editor, Charlie Currie.
Surely we can’t keep publishing reports about the state of play and the FID barrier, whilst clinging to (very) marginal gains, writes Rob Cockerill, Global Content Director at gasworld and H2 View.
Innovation is essential in hydrogen’s future. But we also need to temper our expectations so that we are not waiting for the ‘perfect’ and never deploying the ‘good enough’, writes Dr. David Hart, Global Hydrogen...
Globally, key players are looking to the US for leadership, and we must rise to the opportunities and the challenges, says Frank Wolak, President and CEO of the Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA).
