BayoTech Taps Air Liquide Veteran to Scale Local Hydrogen Production Strategy
May 7, 2025BayoTech, one of the top players in U.S. hydrogen production, just made a big move. They’ve brought on David Best—a longtime executive with over 20 years at Air Liquide—as their new CEO. It’s a clear signal that BayoTech is doubling down on expanding its network of localized hydrogen hubs in a serious way.
New leadership, bold direction
Best isn’t just bringing experience—he’s bringing the kind of know-how BayoTech needs right now. Over at Air Liquide, he led massive projects and built solid strategic partnerships. That kind of leadership lines up perfectly with BayoTech’s ambition to get more boots on the ground by delivering hydrogen right where it’s needed—fast, clean, and local.
Scaling up hydrogen for a low-carbon future
Why the urgency? The clean energy landscape is shifting. The focus is moving away from just research and prototypes—now it’s all about rollout and implementation. With the cost of hydrogen dropping and demand surging for zero-emission technology and reliable hydrogen infrastructure, the time is right. BayoTech’s model of “on-demand, near-site” hydrogen production is starting to look like a cornerstone of large-scale industrial decarbonization.
Bringing hydrogen to the front lines
Under Best’s leadership, BayoTech is positioning itself to be a key player in the delivery of practical, scalable, and real-world hydrogen solutions across North America. It’s not just about hype anymore—it’s about getting clean energy into the hands of people and businesses that can use it today. With hydrogen looking more affordable and accessible than ever, BayoTech seems ready for the next big leap.
