Masdar City, UAE - CEO Monthly has named Clayton Kingman, Chief Executive Officer of HX Group, as Alternative Energy CEO of the Year 2025, recognizing his pioneering leadership in building the commercial foundations of the global hydrogen economy.

A Journey Fueled by Performance and Precision

While Clayton Kingman’s career spans multiple industries, motorsport played an instrumental role in shaping his mindset and global network. Having competed at prestigious events, he developed a relentless focus on precision, performance, and innovation, qualities that now define his approach to business and leadership.

“Motorsport taught me how to push limits, technically, strategically, and personally,” said Kingman. “It also gave me a global network and a deep understanding of how systems, talent, and technology must align to achieve breakthrough results. That mindset now drives HX Group’s work in building scalable, investable hydrogen systems.”

Building the Commercial Architecture of Hydrogen

Under Kingman’s leadership, HX Group has developed the commercial backbone that makes hydrogen and clean fuels bankable, tradeable, and scalable.

The company’s model focuses on uniting pricing, offtake, finance, and ecosystem development into one integrated structure:

• OptiHX© Pricing Engine – delivering long-term, transparent hydrogen pricing for bankable contracts.

• Offtake Aggregation – combining multiple offtakers into unified, financeable demand frameworks.

• Innovative Financing Models – connecting capital, technology, and infrastructure around predictable revenue streams.

• Ecosystem Consultancy – advising governments, investors, and developers on creating viable hydrogen markets.

By bridging commercial, financial, and policy systems, HX enables investors, producers, and end-users to operate with clarity and confidence, transforming clean energy from fragmented ambition into a coherent global marketplace.

HX Group is partnering with governments and industry to accelerate regional hydrogen ecosystems that blend infrastructure, investment, and innovation. Its collaboration with the City of Detroit’s Office of Mobility Innovation exemplifies HX’s mission to create real-world pathways for hydrogen adoption across transport, energy, and manufacturing sectors.
