Appreciating Green Hydrogen’s True Value Proposition with Christopher Jackson, CEO and Founder of Protium | Conversations in Cleantech | Season four, Episode two

In the latest episode of the Conversations in Cleantech podcast, we are joined by Christopher Jackson, CEO and Founder of Protium. 

Unlike many cleantech founders, Christopher comes from a commercially focused background - in his own words, his career has been esoteric. This somewhat unconventional path has allowed him to bring a new offering to the hydrogen space with Protium. 

Protium is a full value-chain green hydrogen energy solutions provider that helps its clients to achieve sustainability targets by transitioning them to a low-carbon future. With a partnership with Budweiser and several high-profile integrated green hydrogen projects nearing completion, the future looks bright for Christopher and the team at Protium. 

During this insightful conversation with Brightsmith Director, Jenny Gladman, Christopher discusses his twisting journey to founding Protium and the huge opportunities which the space has to offer to anyone passionate about making a difference. 

This discussion examines the true value of green hydrogen, moving past the conventional analysis, to understand how we can use it to fuel our cleaner, greener future.
