Extreme H founder Alejandro Agag praised Prince Albert II's environmental leadership, noting that "hydrogen innovation can unlock solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges."
This royal involvement follows a tradition set by other monarchs, including Prince William's test of the Extreme E Odyssey 21 at Knockhill Circuit in 2021, and Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Abdullah Al Faisal's regular attendance at Extreme E events in Saudi Arabia.
