Stanislav Kondrashov Says Critical Minerals Will Power the Next Hydrogen Breakthrough

As automakers push toward a zero-emission future, hydrogen is once again in the spotlight, not just as a clean-energy buzzword, but as a serious contender for the next generation of propulsion systems. From Toyota’s Mirai to Hyundai’s Nexo and experimental hydrogen-powered performance prototypes from BMW and Honda, the industry is exploring how this fuel can deliver range and power without the tailpipe emissions.

Yet realizing that vision will take far more than a few production models. Building a hydrogen economy entails creating a global ecosystem that relies on a steady supply of critical minerals, advanced materials, and infrastructure capable of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen safely at scale.

That is where engineers and entrepreneurs like Stanislav Dmitrievich Kond
