Hydrogen Scotland has opened nominations for the election of new Directors at its 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM), offering members an opportunity to help shape the future direction of Scotland’s growing hydrogen sector.

The organisation is seeking candidates who are committed to advancing the hydrogen economy and representing the interests of members. The Board is also keen to ensure governance remains inclusive and welcomes applications that add a diversity of perspectives and experience.

At the 2025 AGM, members adopted updated Articles of Association introducing a rolling rotation, with two new Directors to be elected at each AGM. In November 2025, Michael Seaman of Statera Energy and Nick Stapley of RWE were duly elected as new Directors.
