Prof. Werner Tillmetz on the Hydrogen Economy & Energy Transition - The Hydrogen Leader Podcast

In this episode of The Hydrogen Leader Podcast, Professor Werner Tillmetz, a distinguished expert in the hydrogen economy, covers his latest book, 'Hydrogen on its Path to Electro-Mobility: From Pioneering to Being the Laggard,' and delves into the development of the hydrogen industry, strategic failures, and successes. Werner shares his extensive experience spanning over 40 years in energy technologies, including his pioneering work at Daimler and his observations on the industry's global landscape. The conversation also includes insights into systematic energy transitions, the importance of strategic collaborations, and the role of regulations in advancing hydrogen technology. A critical look at Europe's approach versus China's long-term strategies offers a comprehensive understanding for policymakers and industry stakeholders. Tune in for an in-depth exploration of how we can expedite the adoption of hydrogen and facilitate a sustainable energy future.
