In this episode we are talking about ‘moving to a hydrogen society.’ We will discuss the role hydrogen has to play in generating clean energy, as well as potential challenges and misconceptions around hydrogen production.

This time we are joined by Dr Andy Palmer, an automotive executive and engineer who is currently CEO of electric vehicle manufacturer Switch Mobility, and has previously served as CEO of Aston Martin and COO of Nissan. Andy has been described as ‘the godfather of EVs’ following his extensive work in the field, including the launch of the Nissan Leaf in 2010. He supports a variety of organisations within the net zero transportation space through his work and has previously submitted evidence to the parliamentary Science and Technology Committee on the role hydrogen can play in reaching net zero.
