Since the HSC was founded, we have held a consistent position: green #hydrogen is a niche energy transition solution, needed in just a handful of industries without other decarbonisation options. Four years on, real-world results continue to validate this.

This team is definitely worth getting to know if you are in any way involved in the energy transition and the role of hydrogen. They help cut through the noise - of which there is a lot - by provided sound advice backed by evidence. I keep returning to their 5 principles for guidance.
