At the US Energy Association’s State of the Energy Industry Forum in Washington, Frank Wolak of the Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) expressed optimism about the potential of hydrogen in the United States. Wolak urged the Trump Administration to take advantage of two decades of US hydrogen policy to solidify the country's dominance in the energy sector. Despite the hydrogen industry not being fully prepared during Trump's initial term, Wolak believes that the current environment is conducive to reaping the benefits of hydrogen technologies. He emphasized that hydrogen could be the US' next energy-exporting opportunity. The forum underlined the importance of seizing the moment to harness the potential of hydrogen as a renewable energy source. This positive sentiment towards hydrogen as a key player in the energy industry reflects a growing recognition of its importance for the future of energy production and export in the United States.
