On 10 October our Managing Partner, Andrew Hinkly, was invited to chair a session on, “Accelerating New Technologies and Lowering Costs” by the US Department of Energy and Sustainable Energy Council. The meeting was opened by the US Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, and Ali Zaidi, the National Climate Advisor and Assistant to the President. The speakers emphasised the United States’ commitment to hydrogen and how decisive the present decade will be to achieving both industrial and climate goals.
In addition to AP Ventures, the technology session included representatives from Cummins, Bloom Energy, ABB, Sunbelt and SGH2 energy. The panel built on the comments from the prior speakers and projected a message of confidence and commitment to developing new technologies and scaling production capacity. The panel emphasized how the Inflation Reduction Act along with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will accelerate the growth of the hydrogen industry.
