Rinaldo Brutoco of World Business Academy on H2 Clipper, Energy Economics, and The Hydrogen Future

Rinaldo Brutoco has dedicated his life to harnessing the awesome potential of business to create positive change in the world. As a pioneer in impact entrepreneurship, Rinaldo has spent more than thirty years building successful businesses ahead of the curve, and today, his eyes are on the green hydrogen space as a potential game-changer for the future of clean energy.

In this second part of our two-part conversation with Rinaldo – the founding president of nonprofit think (and do!) tank the World Business Academy (WBA) and founder and CEO of green hydrogen transportation firm H2 Clipper (H2C) – we dive into the creation of the WBA, Rinaldo’s business case for the inevitability of a clean energy future, and how his H2 Clipper is reimagining a very old technology in a very new way to accelerate the green hydrogen revolution.
