Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Pathfinder Award
The Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association’s Pathfinder Award recognizes the contribution of individuals outside the industry to the commercialization of fuel cells and hydrogen in the United States. The Pathfinder Award is given annually.
Researchers, planners, political leaders, employees of federal and state governments, and fuel cell users and buyers will be among the recipients. In extraordinary circumstances, a company or institution might also be an appropriate recipient.
Pathfinders are leaders, helping guide our industry. Recipients are selected by an awards committee from nominations made by members.
