He joins Jaehoon Chang, Vice Chair of Hyundai Motor Group, at a defining moment for the global hydrogen industry.<\/p>\n<p>Hydrogen has entered its delivery phase. With USD 110 billion in committed investment across more than 500 projects past financial investment decision (FID), globally, and a pipeline maturation cycle mirroring early stages of sectors like solar and wind, the industry is emerging stronger, more focused and ready to scale. In this next phase, the Council\u2019s leadership will focus on the critical priorities including demand, infrastructure, and standards.<\/p>\n<p>Air Liquide, a founding member of the Hydrogen Council, has over 60 years of expertise driving the industry&#8217;s upskilling and scaling up. As a global leader, the Group masters the complete hydrogen value chain, including low-carbon and renewable production, liquefaction, storage, and distribution. Air Liquide is focused on implementing strategic, large-scale projects in key markets to accelerate the decarbonization of industry and mobility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fran\u00e7ois Jackow, CEO of Air Liquide <\/strong><strong>and new Co-Chair of the Hydrogen Council,<\/strong> said: \u201cIt is a great honor to step into the role of Co-Chair at this decisive moment for the Hydrogen Council and the industry. In a world defined by instability and fragmentation, I am convinced that industry-led, united coalitions like ours can truly make a difference. I am looking forward to working together with this great collective of 140 member companies to unlock hydrogen\u2019s full potential as a core pillar of the global energy transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a0a636 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0a0a636\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/hydrogencouncil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251202170006_202512023_Hydrogen-Council-CEO-Summit_ZUU09656-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15113\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hydrogencouncil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251202170006_202512023_Hydrogen-Council-CEO-Summit_ZUU09656-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hydrogencouncil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251202170006_202512023_Hydrogen-Council-CEO-Summit_ZUU09656-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hydrogencouncil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251202170006_202512023_Hydrogen-Council-CEO-Summit_ZUU09656-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hydrogencouncil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251202170006_202512023_Hydrogen-Council-CEO-Summit_ZUU09656-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hydrogencouncil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251202170006_202512023_Hydrogen-Council-CEO-Summit_ZUU09656-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hydrogencouncil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251202170006_202512023_Hydrogen-Council-CEO-Summit_ZUU09656-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Hydrogen Council \u2013 (L-R) Hydrogen Council CEO Ivana Jemelkova, Linde CEO Sanjiv Lamba, Hyundai Motor Group Vice-Chair Jaehoon Chang, and Air Liquide CEO Fran\u00e7ois Jackow <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d0270c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d0270c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Fran\u00e7ois Jackow takes over from <strong>Sanjiv Lamba, CEO of Linde plc.<\/strong>, who said: &#8220;Serving as Co-Chair of the Hydrogen Council has been a privilege.
