He has extensive knowledge of gas and energy markets, pricing, and regulations. Over the last four years, he has led or played a key role in all ATCO's hydrogen-related activities, including the development of the Clean Energy Innovation Hub, conceptualising and sourcing funding from the WA Government Renewable Hydrogen Fund for the Hydrogen Vehicle Refuelling station, and securing $28.7m from ARENA to develop the Clean Energy Innovation Park - a commercial scale renewable hydrogen production project.   1.30 - Background of ATCOATCO stands for Alberta Trailer Company and began with modular trailers, which grew into acquiring Canadian utilities in the 1980s, including electricity generation, gas processing, storage, and transmission. They have just celebrated their 75th year in operation.ATCO has diverse business operations, including modular structures, power stations, and a gas distribution network - in Australia, the network has 800,000 connection points and a focus on renewables and hydrogen/future fuels. 4 - Humble beginningsATCO now has over 6,200 employees and over $22 billion worth of assets. It has been operational in about a hundred countries and has 75,000 kilometres of electrical power lines and 65,000 kilometres of natural gas pipelines. However, despite the growth, it’s a very family-orientated business. “We do what we say we're going to do, and that includes supporting those communities where we operate, and also supporting our employees in what they're doing.”4.45 - Clean Energy Innovation HubThe project is an opportunity to showcase applications for the technology and the use of hydrogen gas in commercial, industrial and residential settings. “Energy security as you can imagine is extremely important particularly with our control room operation at the site, we...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/QIKjxyMtnzaMwNS35XBfZBFgjh2riCYpMZmhbiY-rkM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MGEy/NjFlNmUwNWEzOWE5/Y2VjYjllMzliOGRl/YTc4MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
