Jillian Evanko, President and CEO of Chart Industries, Kathy Ayers, VP at Nel Hydrogen, and Jennifer Gangi, Director of Communications at FCHEA provided a lot of laughs, as well as advice in their afternoon fireside chat. They covered topics from the board room to the laboratory and recommended we continually open doors for others. As each of them has been involved in acquisitions, their advice is to be patient, give it time and take the time to meet with your new co-workers and understand how each company's philosophy can benefit the other. #internationalwomensday #inspireinclusion #hydrogen

Demand, demand, demand. Our panel had an excellent discussion about all the elements impacting the demand for #hydrogen in today's energy transition. It was wonderful to hear from various segments of the industry about how we need to increase focus on the demand side and look to, and build off of existing guidelines and regulations from the EU and California to ensure the development of projects and the infrastructure needed to make it a reality. Thank you to our panelists: Hanh Nguyen, OCI/Unilever, Tomeka Mcleod, BP USA, Dorothee Boireau Peuzé, Credit Agricole CBI, Chathu G., RMI, and Adria Wilson, Ph.D., Breakthrough Energy. #internationalwomensday

The incomparable Sunita Satyapal, Ph.D. joined us this morning to provide an overview of the US National Clean Hydrogen Strategy. She's been called the "Godmother of Hydrogen" and we couldn't agree more! Sunita stands as a leader, mentor and inspiration to so many women in the energy industry. As she wrapped up, she took a moment to honor her Mother on #InternationalWomensDay and the influence and guidance she provided Sunita for her education and career. #inspireinclusion U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
