As a Bonn-based entrepreneur who works on international projects, Heinz J. Sturm understands the need to establish a link between the Bonn Climate Project and the UN Climate Change Secretariat in order to develop a holistic approach to using hy-drogen for climate change mitigation. This is the only way through which it can be made economically viable and be used to accelerate energy access in developing countries with barely any energy infrastructure.

With this background, Heinz has been actively involved in climate protection issues for years. He advises the UN Climate Change Secretariat and some African and Arab governments out of the Climate Technology Center in Bonn. He has been an advocate of holistic approaches for years. It is not the single technology, nor the individual drive that determines the success of hydrogen for climate protection and for clean energy supply, but the “thinking through” of a society and Hydrogen economy.
