The Hydrogen Council today joined the 10th annual Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM10) meeting hosted by the Canadian government in Vancouver, to celebrate the launch of the Hydrogen Initiative, a new effort to mobilize CEM-affiliated governments to consider policies and programmes in support of full-scale deployment of hydrogen technologies across all aspects of the economy. As a first-of-its-kind global group of CEOs from 54 energy, transport, and industry companies advocating for the accelerated deployment of hydrogen solutions, the Hydrogen Council will represent the industry in the CEM Hydrogen Initiative.
