John F. Kennedy’s vision that “by the end of the
decade we will put a man on the moon” inspired NASA to deliver
one of the 20th century’s greatest achievements.
However, this century’s greatest challenge, the transition
from an oil economy to a low-carbon or “hydrogen economy”
will be harder to achieve.
The transition to hydrogen as a fuel is going to require leadership
from all governments, not just one or two; new inventions and
innovation, massive investment by industry to upgrade the current
infrastructure; and the commitment of the public to purchase and
use hydrogen transportation and alternative fuels.
The Hydrogen economy can not be implemented by one company or
industry alone, and the Green Riband creates an environment to
form partnerships that demonstrate and validate technology of
the hydrogen age that will progress to meaningful commercial projects.
The Green Riband will inspire and mark the progress to
the hydrogen age.
