Pierre-Etienne Franc, co-founder and CEO of HY24
I learned progressively of the immense potential for hydrogen to transform the world’s energy consumption patterns during 26 years at Air Liquide, where I developed its intense use in classic industries as well as in the most advanced ones, from Space to Mobility. I left to start FiveT Hydrogen in 2021 with the intention to mobilize my energy and industry knowledge into this huge challenge for our energy future. The Hy24 Joint Venture with Ardian is foundational to that goal. As former Chair of Hydrogen Europe and founding co-Secretary at the Hydrogen Council, the global CEO-led initiative for companies which share our vision, I have been at the centre of the rapidly evolving global hydrogen economy for the last decade.
