Who we are

our history

Hydrogen Today was created in 2015 with the purpose of informing the general public about the benefits of hydrogen and its associated technologies. The articles, which are written by experts, aim to make this vast and complex subject accessible to all.

Hydrogen Today publishes plenty of articles weekly regarding hydrogen’s latest developments in various fields: mobility, industry, research & innovation, other applications as well as public policies and the economy. 

Our experts and journalists not only reproduce press releases or reference articles that are already published elsewhere. They do their best to provide and comment on the most relevant information in a format that is accessible to all audiences and quick to read.
