Hydrogen Council looks to the future
Momentum behind hydrogen is ‘quite stunning’, says council executive director Daryl Wilson
The Hydrogen Council is a global CEO-led initiative with the goal of promoting hydrogen to enable the clean energy transition. The organisation includes 134 companies from across the globe representing the entire hydrogen value chain. Here, the council’s executive director, Daryl Wilson, talks to Hydrogen Economist about the future of the sector. Much is spoken about the coming boom in the hydrogen industry. But there has been hype before. What makes things different this time? Wilson: I have worked in the sector for 15 years, and I have seen all the ups and downs. But now the focus on climate change is stronger than ever, and hydrogen is an essential part of the equation in meeting net-zero
