IAHE Clean Hydrogen Division
We are a team of internationally recognized academics, industrialists, scientists and engineers who are working in the entire clean hydrogen value chain.
We are apolitical but we strongly believe that we need to decarbonise the global economy by 2050 to avoid the worst climate and energy supply catastrophes.
Our Mission
“Clean Hydrogen” is a IAHE Division focussed on Clean Hydrogen. The objective of the division is to promote Clean Hydrogen for energy sustainability.
Core Research
Developing low-cost, highly-performing and durable materials and systems for key industries.
Partnerships
We believe that industrial partnerships with R&D organisations, policy makers and others are important for rapid deployment of low-carbon technologies.
Implementation
If we want to meet carbon-neutrality by 2050, new technologies need to be implemented rapidly.
A Transition to a Clean Hydrogen Economy
Overall, we are witnessing the adoption of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in buses, commercial trucks, rail and marine as well as the heavy industries where zero emission is critically important to achieve our decarbonization goals. Clean Hydrogen offers a sustainable solution to decarbonize industrial processes and economic sectors where reducing carbon emissions is both urgent and difficult to achieve.
Clean Hydrogen is not the solution to the overall problem but part of the solution.
Bruno G. Pollet is a Professor of Chemistry at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), Director the Clean Hydrogen Lab, Co-Director of the UQTR Institute for Hydrogen Research (IHR), Adjunct Professor of Renewable Energy at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), member of the “NTNU Energy Team Hydrogen” (the largest hydrogen R&D cluster in Norway), and has been appointed as President of the Clean Hydrogen Division of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy.
His research covers a wide range of areas from the development of novel materials for low-temperature fuel cells and water electrolyzers, hydrogen production from (non-)pure waters, organics and bio-wastes, to fuel cell and electrolyzer systems, demonstrators and prototypes.

He co-founded and co-directed the Birmingham Centre for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Research (UK) and was Director of HySA Systems Integration & Technology Validation Competence Centre (South Africa). He has worked for Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells Ltd (UK) and other various industries worldwide. He gained his PhD in Physical Chemistry in the field of Electrochemistry and Sonochemistry at Coventry University (UK) and undertook his PostDoc in Electrocatalysis at the Liverpool University Electrochemistry (UK). He serves on several associations and industry boards as well as editorial boards of international journals (Elsevier, Royal Society of Chemistry, Springer & Wiley).
