The Hydrogen Innovation Initiative (HII) brings together leading organisations from industry, government and academia to create an investible, globally competitive hydrogen technology and services sector in the UK.
The reception will be attended by parliamentarians, officials and senior industry representatives, featuring organisations from the Hydrogen Innovation Initiative’s past and present Accelerator programmes. These programmes have facilitated the rapid commercial growth of many groundbreaking UK hydrogen startups, who would be pleased to meet with you and showcase their innovative home-grown technologies.
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.
