The Hydrogen Council is proud to announce Hyundai Motor Company President and CEO Jaehoon Chang as its new Co-Chair, joining Sanjiv Lamba, CEO of Linde.

“Germany is a strong industrial nation with global leading companies in future areas. For a successful ramp-up of the hydrogen economy, strong private sector engagement is needed. So our message is: The time to act is now! Therefore, the German government is setting up the necessary regulatory framework, instruments and funding schemes for a swift ramp-up of hydrogen,” said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in a live address to CEOs and senior executives from the world’s leading businesses and investors in hydrogen at the Hydrogen Council’s 2024 International CEO Event today.

In a significant step towards accelerating public-private action on hydrogen, Germany’s Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Robert Habeck, and the European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal, Maroš Šefčovič, today met with a global delegation of Hydrogen Council executives.

The Hydrogen Council today announced the appointment of Ivana Jemelkova as its Chief Executive Officer, following an extensive, international search.

Today, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, the second Ministerial-Executive Roundtable was hosted by the International Hydrogen Trade Forum (IHTF) and the Hydrogen Council.
