Dr. Eric Miller
Executive Director, AGH
AGH LEADERSHIP
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Eric L. Miller has officially assumed the role of Executive Director of the Association of Geological Hydrogen (AGH) starting from July 2025.
Leadership Grounded in Hydrogen Expertise
Dr. Miller brings exceptional expertise and visionary leadership to AGH. Formerly the Chief Scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Technologies Office, he has played a key role in shaping national hydrogen strategies and advancing scientific and technological progress across the hydrogen ecosystem.
Dr. Miller’s professional career in clean energy research has spanned more than 35 years, centered on solar energy conversion and on H2 & fuel cell technologies. He’s been widely recognized as a world leader in photoelectrochemical hydrogen production for his pioneering research in this challenging field. This was a central factor leading to his being recruited into leadership roles at DOE.
At DOE, he played an instrumental role in the launch and management of the Department’s Energy Materials Network, which aims to accelerate materials discovery and development of key clean energy technologies. Importantly, this led to the establishment of the ambitious HydroGEN Consortium on Advanced Water Splitting Materials, with important synergies with GeoH2 subsurface hydrogen production.
Dr. Miller also played important roles in the DOE’s Hydrogen Energy Earthshot and H2@Scale initiatives, as well as the establishment of the 2023 National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap.
Science, Workforce and Community
His appointment marks an important milestone in AGH’s mission to establish GeoH₂ as a primary energy source. Under his leadership, AGH will continue to:
- Advance the frontiers of GeoH₂ science and technology by unlocking the potential of subsurface hydrogen systems through improved knowledge and data sharing.
- Promote STEM education and workforce development in the emerging field of subsurface hydrogen systems.
- Strengthen the global GeoH₂ community and ecosystem by fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and government stakeholders.
We welcome Dr. Miller to this key leadership position. With his guidance, AGH is ready to accelerate progress towards a future where the next primary energy source lies beneath our feet.
