Reaching these objectives requires us to ensure viable materials solutions for implementation of hydrogen technologies in the short term, while also addressing the long-term requirement of safeguarding the sustainability of the hydrogen sector through a radical reconsideration of the criticality of the chemistries, materials and components.Deborah Jones (B.Sc., Ph.D. University of London, King's College) is Director of Research at CNRS at the Institute for Molecula
