Dutch Engineer Leads Shift from Fossil Fuels to Green Hydrogen
Jordi Zonneveld transitions Frames Group from oil and gas to clean energy, culminating in acquisition by Plug Power.
- Jordi Zonneveld, motivated by climate concerns and his children's future, pivoted Frames Group from oil and gas to green hydrogen.
- Frames Group, initially focused on separating oil and gas, began producing green hydrogen by splitting water using clean electricity.
- Despite resistance from some colleagues, Zonneveld's vision led to green hydrogen comprising 10% of Frames Group's business within five years.
- In 2021, Plug Power, a clean energy company specializing in hydrogen, acquired Frames Group to bolster its hydrogen production capabilities.
- Plug Power aims to produce over 1,000 tons of green hydrogen daily by the decade's end, with support from the Biden administration and major clients like Amazon.
