So, to Plug Power, BOC, Amarna Energy and ATCO, Thank you.Russell James is the General Manager of Hydrogen and Future Fuels at ATCO.Russell has over 20 years’ of experience in energy, including the delivery of small to large-scale energy and utility infrastructure projects. Over the last 5 years, he has played a key role in all ATCO's hydrogen related activities, including the Clean Energy Innovation HubATCO is a global infrastructure and energy company with headquarters in Canada, known for its diversified portfolio including utilities, energy, structures and logistics, and transportation. With operations in over 100 countries, ATCO employs around 6200 peopleIn Australia, ATCO operates a range of energy and infrastructure businesses, including transmission pipelines.ATCO’s Journey in the Hydrogen Sector:●     ATCO has been involved in hydrogen for over eight years and launched Australia’s first renewable hydrogen facility in Western Australia about four and a half years ago.●     The Clean Energy Innovation Hub incorporates solar, batteries, and electrolysis, allowing hydrogen blending into the natural gas network.Challenges in Hydrogen Projects:●     Procurement of Equipment: ATCO had to source electrolysers from Europe and the US, navigating long lead times, shipping complexities, and significant upfront payments. This differs from standard procurement in gas and power divisions.●     Compliance with Australian Standards: With limited local hydrogen standards, ATCO worked closely with safety regulators to ensure...","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}
