Our diverse membership enables us to be one of the leading choices for Government to engage with in the hydrogen sector.
We build consensus across our membership to deliver actionable steps to the Government – and our one-to-one meetings, private webinars and exclusive member events provide regular opportunities to input into Government policy.
The HEA informs and supports policymakers in Government on the hydrogen economy, and our position papers are used by stakeholders across departments to shape thinking and policy.
We also engage directly with MPs and Ministers through our lobby events, direct engagement and other routes. This complements and strengthens our other areas of policy work.
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.
