Hi, my name is Roxana Bekemohammadi, and I'm the founder and executive director of the US Hydrogen Alliance. The hydrogen industry is at a crucial juncture. Unlike others who may ignore problems, our industry must confront challenges directly, as our future depends on our actions today. The government struggles to effectively kickstart the US hydrogen economy, and recent proposals by the US Department of Treasury impose stringent requirements that hinder our growth, ironically delaying potential emissions reductions achievable through hydrogen technologies. This stems largely from a lack of hydrogen policy education and general hydrogen literacy. Already, these regulatory missteps are impacting hydrogen hubs meant to boost the national hydrogen economy. With federal stances influencing state legislation and regulations, waiting for improvements isn't an option. We need industry-wide participation to advocate for our future. This is why the US Hydrogen Alliance has published a Policy Advocacy 101 Handbook, empowering you to fight for your right to exist and hosting a policy convention to unite stakeholders across the industry and government who are passionate about hydrogen's potential in meeting our energy needs. It's crucial to demonstrate to the government that hydrogen is not just viable but essential for a sustainable future, and with the right support, our industry can flourish. We aim to educate policymakers on hydrogen's benefits and its role in achieving climate goals. Together, we can advocate for policies that promote hydrogen growth, ensuring our industry's place in the future. This moment in hydrogen's history is pivotal, and your voice is needed to help realize emission reductions and environmental benefits uniquely possible with hydrogen. Join us as advocates, participate in our policy convention, and help shape a brighter future for our industry and the planet. Thank you for your time.
