- Norge har muligheter for bruk av hydrogenløsninger i alt fra subsea, transport på vei og til havs, i luften og i verdensrommet og i generell industri. Samtidig har vi store industrielle muligheter innen hydrogenproduksjon og for utstyrsleverandører. Det blir utrolig spennende å jobbe med partnermedlemmene i industrien for å realisere nye prosjekter, forteller han.

- Globalt skjer det mye spennende på hydrogen-området, både innen FoU og industri, så internasjonalisering og posisjonering av Norge innen hydrogen blir viktig. Også ser jeg frem til et godt samarbeid med Norsk Hydrogenforum, avslutter han.
