While the full scale of its consequences is still hard\nto predict, it is clear that this will be a defining moment for the\nenergy transition and hydrogen as one of its key components. Whether\ngovernments maintain an ambitious stance on climate action as part of their\nefforts to build a more resilient post-COVID19 world or dilute (or even\nabandon) their pre-crisis plans in favour of other priorities, will decide the\nfate of our energy system for at least a generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A newly elected Hydrogen Council Board, represented at the highest level by global CEOs, is committed to providing the necessary leadership to demonstrate a powerful vision and decisive action for a better energy future powered by hydrogen.
