Hydrogen safety is paramount for any hydrogen project or application.

In this webinar, four experts with a combined experience of more than 80 years in hydrogen and gas safety will share their knowledge and especially their lessons learned from the last 12 months.

Speakers include:

Julian Arevalo: Hydrogen safety at refueling stations
Julian is responsible for hydrogen safety at 38 public hydrogen refueling stations in California.  He is also responsible for developing best practice and standard operating procedures both for daily operations and maintenance. Julian will present insights into his daily experience, share lessons learned from 2,000 daily fills and propose operating procedures that other companies should adopt.

Dr Maxim Bragin: Hydrogen safety of fuel cell vehicles
Maxim is responsible for hydrogen safety of fuel cell vehicles at Ballard Motive Solutions. He holds a Ph.D. in Hydrogen Safety Engineering from the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland. Maxim has worked as a hydrogen safety researcher on spontaneous hydrogen ignition, vented deflagrations, hydrogen dispersion and accumulation of hydrogen in confined spaces and other hydrogen safety related topics for 20 years. Maxim will present lessons learned on hydrogen safety for mobile applications and share best practices.

Claudio Fecarotta: Gas and flame detection for electrolyzers
Claudio has 22+ years of experience in gas and flame detection and worked with customers in 1,000+ projects. Currently, he is responsible for optimizing leak detection solutions for green hydrogen production. Claudio will present case studies from current projects and show why a combination of different sensor technologies is the best way to optimize leak detection.

Martin Sekura: Hydrogen Safety of Components
Martin has 12+ years of hydrogen experience and has spent 11 years designing and operating hydrogen test laboratories. His current responsibilities include hydrogen material compatibility testing of components, codes & standards development and business development. Martin will present his lessons learned from the last year on stainless steel compatibility for hydrogen applications, o-ring damage mechanisms etc.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
