EVENT GUIDE

31 MARCH 2022 THE INTERNATIONAL CENTRE, TELFORD TF3 4JH www.hydrogentechexpo.co.uk

Welcome to the Hydrogen Tech Expo 2022 By 2030, it's predicted the UK Hydrogen economy could be worth close to £1billion with over 100,000 UK jobs.

Welcome to the inaugural Hydrogen Tech Expo UK!

David Reeks

Green and Blue Hydrogen technologies are seen as playing a critical role in de-carbonising energy intensive industries such as chemicals, steel, concrete, HGVs and other heavy transportation industries such as shipping.

Today, you’ll have the opportunity to network with Managing Director, industry professionals as well as learn the latest 10Four Media innovative products and services on display by our exhibitors. In addition, industry speakers will be presenting a variety of topics, listed in the front section of this event guide, on stage in the main exhibition hall.

Julian Spadaccini, I'm an experienced Flow Product Specialist at Emerson Automation Solutions. With over 28 years in the process industry, and the last eight years with Emerson focused on our flow portfolio. Based in Leicester and recently involved in many new flow applications in the emerging Hydrogen market, providing solutions and support for our customers to ensure a successful implementation.

Always happy to discuss your Flow applications and am equally interested if the conversation turns to discuss recent sports events! Feel free to connect on Linkedin and visit on Stand B6.

Mark leads ScottishPower’s Market Development activities in hydrogen across the UK and Ireland, as part of a global Hydrogen Division within the Iberdrola Group. This focuses on the production and supply of green hydrogen to decarbonise transport, industry and heat. His previous roles span over 20 years, with experience in the industrial gases and fuel cell industry, covering product development and commercialisation, project management and Business development activities.

Over the last 12 years he has been 100% focussed on hydrogen, which includes managing existing hydrogen refuelling stations and developing new opportunities for production and refuelling.

Speaker agenda

Hydrogen Tech Expo 2022 11:20 - 11:40

Topic: Rotork provides complete control for a low carbon world

Martin Burton Sector Manager CPI & Country Manager UK Rotork

Rotork will demonstrate how solutions (flow control equipment and instrumentation) for power, oil and gas, and process control will transfer into hydrogen applications. It will highlight Rotork’s successes in green hydrogen electrolysis applications where extremely precise control is needed. In the transition from a hydrocarbon to a low-carbon and a hydrogen-led future (including storage and transportation, pipelines and ammonia), this is an evolution not a revolution.

Martin has over 30 years’ experience in the flow control industry operating within industrial, process and oil and gas markets. He has been with Rotork for 10 years, primarily covering instrumentation control products, international projects and key accounts.

Lunch: 12:30 - 12:45

11:45 - 12:05

Dr Lee Juby CEng FIET Commercial Director

Topic: Innovations in Polymer Fuel Cells & Electrolysers for Production and Use of Green Hydrogen

12:45 - 13:05

Topic: Rapid to Deploy, Hydrogen Vehicle Refuelling: Solving the chicken and egg dilemma

Topic: Non-invasive flow measurement of blended hydrogen in natural gas or pure hydrogen

Lee is an accomplished sales leader with over 25 years’ experience in international business development and commercialisation of advanced technology in the energy and transport sectors. He has experience leading AIM listed and Joint Venture start-ups through to responsibility for new technology introduction for a division of a large blue-chip multinational. Appointed Commercial Director in January 2021, Lee leads the commercial team in NanoSUN’s vision for commercial success and sustainable growth. Responsible for establishing and retaining the organisation’s position in the market, Lee works closely with customers and key stakeholders within the transport sector to ensure their hydrogen needs are met.

Hydrogen’s chemical characteristics like density and sound velocity differ immensely from typical fuel gases. These characteristics can be challenging for established flow measurement technologies. The particularly small molecular size and chemical reactivity of hydrogen requires special care regarding the implementation of flow measurement equipment into pipelines. Currently, many projects worldwide are evaluating the suitability of different flow measurement technologies for hydrogen measurements.

Denis Funk FLEXIM Global Head of Market Management for Power Generation FLEXIM Instruments UK Ltd

This presentation will be review several hydrogen application feasibility tests confirming the performance capability of FLEXIM’s non-invasive flow measurement solutions with both blended and pure hydrogen.
