You are invited! Join the NextEnergy’s leadership team for Power Shift: Unlocking Michigan’s Hydrogen Potential

NextEnergy – “We work with innovators to accelerate smarter, cleaner, more accessible solutions for communities and cities.”

Join NextEnergy’s leadership team on Monday, November 10th @ 11:30am for a powerful look at how Michigan is positioning itself at the forefront of the hydrogen revolution.

Lauren Mattar, Director of Mobility Initiatives, will spotlight the Hydrogen Heavy-Duty Vehicle Industry Group that includes Toyota and Hyundai — a pioneering industry consortium led by NextEnergy that’s accelerating the development and standardization of heavy-duty refueling technologies. She’ll also share details on a groundbreaking collaborative research effort with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), where first-in-the-world testing of these components is now underway.

Eric Lee, Director of Research and Technology Commercialization, will ignite the conversation with powerful insights from his global automotive decarbonization strategy work. Get ready as he shares how recent hydrogen initiatives are impacting Michigan’s energy landscape, from the new Detroit Hydrogen Ecosystem Alliance to the potential of untapped geologic hydrogen resources across the state. Don’t miss this chance to hear how hydrogen is part of powering Michigan’s future.

Together, they’ll reveal how collaboration, innovation, and policy alignment are propelling Michigan toward a hydrogen-ready future — and how industry leaders are turning vision into real-world impact.
