About Global Hydrogen Network of Networks (NoN): Research and Education Accelerated by Connections in Clean Hydrogen (REACH2)

We are a network of networks and research institutions whose goals are to promote the research and education of hydrogen based clean energy. In addition, with various institutions we are seeking to:

  • collaborate
  • innovate
  • research
  • create
  • share knowledge

As a result of the challenges of the 21st century and lessons from our past, we are creating a coalition of partners that will help accelerate and converge innovation in clean hydrogen (H2) technology such as fuel cells. We plan to do this through facilitating the development of next generation of devices, an intellectually renowned workforce and create global trends in clean energy for today and most importantly tomorrow.


Network Goals
