Closing an exciting, informative day of discussion at H2 View’s North America Hydrogen Summit, Bill Elrick, Executive Director of the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP), reflected on the summit while looking ahead to the future.

Elrick said, “Hydrogen has changed entirely. It used to be the unicorn in the room, but I feel now it is a completely different ballgame.

“We know climate change and the urgency that we know now sees around that is really pushing the hydrogen momentum and the fuel cells and everything around that.

“The ultimate aim here is if we’re going to get the benefits of hydrogen and fuel cells. We’re going to have to make this a sustainable market. Without that, this all falls apart the minute we stopped the subsidies and so knowing some folks are getting closer to that feeling that momentum in this room and around the globe is amazing. At the same time, we have a lot of challenges in front of us.”
