As part of the Hydrogen Academy, we have started a new series of conversations with innovators an educators working within the Green Hydrogen and Engineering sectors. Our Hydrogen Academy crew will be leading these conversations and discussing the new developments and exciting career opportunities that are happening in the sector.
These interviews will be available on the Hydrogen Academy YouTube!
