Plug Power CEO and CSO Participate in the 4th annual Hydrogen Council Virtual CEO Event – January 18-19, 2021
There are dynamic developments underway in the hydrogen sector. Plug Power’s CEO, Andy Marsh, and CSO, Sanjay Shrestha will join the virtual Hydrogen Council CEO Event for a two day discussion of the key challenges and opportunities for the industry ahead.
Launched by thirteen founding members in 2017, the Hydrogen Council now counts 109 companies from 20+ countries around the world, bringing together an even wider range of sectors along the entire hydrogen value chain. This unique, members-only event will feature insightful discussions, briefings on new, real industry data-based reports as well as ample chances to set up individual B2B meetings and connect with senior industry peers.
Group discussions will fill the two day agenda – address topics including hydrogen decarbonization pathways, hydrogen investment, deployment and cost competitiveness at length. Leveraging global tailwinds towards the industry will result in massive scale-up of the hydrogen industry in public support and regulatory framework.
Most specifically, Plug Power is engaged in a discussion regarding “hydrogen advocacy in the US” alongside council members including Ballard Power, First Element Fuel, Linde, W L Gore and others exploring opportunities to advance the industry’s agenda with the incoming US administration.
A strong global hydrogen economy can create 30 million jobs by 2025. The hydrogen industry is encouraged to see support for green hydrogen well positioned in President-elect Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ policy agenda. Ensuring access to a supply of cost-effective green hydrogen power in the US will help us decarbonize the economy and make the US a world leader in combating climate change.
