Arno A. Evers, the mastermind behind some of the most innovative Trade Fair stands including the world-renowned hydrogen fuel cells joint stand at the Hanover fair, shared his thoughts on the future of hydrogen economy in this interview.
Evers highlights a key point that the current approach to hydrogen development is misguided. He believes a decentralized approach where people own and operate their own conversion units is the way forward. This stands in contrast to the current, government funded approach that Evers believes is not sustainable.

Evers emphasizes the importance of learning from history. He compares the Wright brothers’ first flight in 1903 to the current state of hydrogen technology. Just as the aviation industry has grown from a rudimentary beginning, Evers believes hydrogen can develop significantly if the right approach is taken.
Evers argues that the biggest challenge is changing the mindset of people who are stuck in the current, failed system. He believes people need to be more open minded and willing to look at alternative approaches.
Evers has optimistic outlook on the future of hydrogen. He believes that if the right approach is taken, hydrogen can play a major role in the global energy situation.
