We’re pleased to be supporting IChemE’s Hydrogen Innovation and Technology Conference 2026 as an event partner.
Taking place on 14–15 October 2026 in Manchester, the conference brings together industry leaders, innovators, policymakers and researchers from across the hydrogen value chain.
The two-day programme will explore key developments in hydrogen production and scale-up, applications, distribution and storage, alongside policy, markets, investment and critical safety considerations.
It’s a great opportunity to connect, share knowledge and be part of the conversation shaping the future of hydrogen.
HEA members can receive 20% off the standard delegate rate.
Join us in Manchester this October - https://www.icheme.org/training-events/hydrogen-2026/
Lee is currently CEO of Fuel Cell Systems Ltd (FCSL). Industry insiders often talk about Hydrogen’s Chicken and Egg problem: Vehicle manufacturers cannot sell hydrogen vehicles without a refuelling infrastructure; Infrastructure & fuel network providers cannot recoup their investment if there are not enough vehicles using hydrogen. The result is Gridlock! Our approach has been to redefine the Chicken and Egg problem as simply “Refuelling Infrastructure is too expensive”. Now that’s an engineering problem we can fix!
Prior to FCSL, Lee spent eight years at UK Fuel Cell manufacturer Intelligent Energy, completing his time there as Chief Sales Officer. Leading the global commercial team and launching Intelligent Energy’s low carbon hydrogen products in to three market sectors: automotive, power generation and aviation. Lee’s involvement with the hydrogen industry started back in 1995 when among other projects he supported the field trials of SOFC CHP.
