Raphael SCHOENTGEN
Ready to embark you on the hydrogen journey
What do we get up for in the morning is the main question to ask oneself.
I am passionate about climate change and energy. After more than 20 years of professional experience in those fields I have come to the conclusion that there are not many solutions that can help us fight climate change, and if there is something new and powerful it is hydrogen ! A recent Mc Kinsey study for the Hydrogen Council established that it can help us reduce emissions by 20% at least before 2050.
Based on my past experiences as former President of Hydrogen Europe, CTO of ENGIE and personal advisor to a G8 minister of energy and industry, I help my clients get rapidly the “helicopter view” they need to embrace this new energy vector that will without doubt penetrate our daily life in the years to come.
Whoever you are, whatever your issue is, I can gather the team you need to tackle your issue, building on a wide personal international network and varied past experiences in 7 countries, with permanent interactions with high level leaders, both as a civil servant and a business man, and on issues of regulation, finance, regional development, technologies, infrastructures and industrial development.
