Mikaa BLUGEON-MERED is an independent researcher specialized in the geopolitics and international markets of hydrogen. After creating the world’s first postgraduate course dedicated to the geopolitics of hydrogen back in 2019, he is currently an adjunct lecturer at Sciences Po Paris, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), IFP School, and part of the faculty of S&P Global Commodity Insights’ World Hydrogen Leaders network. Concurrently, Mikaa also coordinates the Hydrogen Task Force of MEDEF International (France’s leading private international business network), serves as special advisor to Hy24 (the world’s leading pure-player hydrogen investment fund), senior advisor to Hyvolution (the world’s largest hydrogen B2B/B2C trade show and exhibition), and chairs the Steering Committee of CertifHy (Europe’s first RFNBO certification mechanism).

Formerly a political risk analyst, chamber of commerce administrator, expert-evaluator to the European Commission, and secretary-general of a university chair, Mikaa has spent over a decade working on hydrogen-energy-climate challenges, at the intersection of economic diplomacy, space, security, regulation, innovation, industrial policy, electoral discourse, and critical gender studies, with a neo-institutionalist and comparative approach.

Named "Green Hydrogen Ambassador" by the International Association for Hydrogen Energy (IAHE) and lead researcher of the “Hydrogen Policy Radar” program, Mikaa has conducted nearly 80 fieldtrips since 2021 across five continents to evaluate the implementation and promotion of national hydrogen strategies. In 2024, he has launched a new educational hydrogen awareness workshop called « The Hydrogen Mosaic » already deployed in France, Belgium, Morocco and Canada. His forthcoming book, « Quo Vadis, Clean Hydrogen? », is set for release in 12 languages starting January 30, 2025.
