Award-winning Author, Journalist, and Academy Fellow Peter Hoffmann passed away on April 18, 2014. We are deeply saddened by his passing. His cutting-edge research on the developing hydrogen economy has been essential to the work of the World Business Academy.
His latest book, Tomorrow’s Energy: Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, and the Prospects for a Cleaner Planet, from The MIT Press, is a perfect example of the passion Mr. Hoffmann brought to an often-dry and technical subject. He explained the possibility hydrogen has for recreating our planetary fuel system and enabling a world of abundant, renewable energy.
As a Fellow to the Academy, Mr. Hoffmann informed our work, providing us with the latest developments in the field of hydrogen. His comprehensive monthly newsletter, The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Letter, was the go-to source for essential information on the emerging industry. His ideas and vision live on. Much of his research is incorporated in the Academy’s ongoing California Moonshot Project.
Mr. Hoffmann’s obituary appeared in The New York Times. Memorial donations may be made in Peter’s memory to the Rhinebeck Science Foundation, P.O. Box 508, Rhinebeck NY 12572.
