H2 as an economically viable source of energy hinges on innovations aimed at reducing energy waste and improving conversion efficiency. However, achieving the production of H2 with both high efficiency and low cost is a significant challenge that researchers and industrial players are striving to overcome. For instance, the current efficiency rates of green hydrogen production are still low compared to hydrocarbon-based methods. This is largely due to energy losses in the electrolysis process and the losses in power conditioning and transmission. Overcoming these challenges can help make H2 more competitive as part of the energy mix. This webinar will provide an overview of the most recent technology solutions and breakthroughs in hydrogen production.

Speakers

Thien NguyendoSpeakerThien Nguyendo has 6 years of process engineering experience from the oil and gas industry and in green hydrogen applications. Thien started his career at ExxonMobil, designing world-scale steam crackers for olefins production and conducting lifecycle analyses on alternative feedstocks. He then worked at Plug Power where he worked on all stages of their hydrogen refueling station project design, outlining design bases, developing control strategies, and conducting LOPA analyses. Thien is currently the Lead Process Engineer at Utility Global, a novel energy start-up producing clean hydrogen from waste gases. At Utility Global, he is developing plant balances to address new commercial opportunities and is supporting operation of Utility Global’s demonstration facility in Ontario, Canada.

Zachary EvansModeratorZachary Evans currently serves as Sales Director – Underground Storage for DarkVision, an industry leader in ultra-high-resolution acoustic imaging for dowhole inspections. In this role, he serves as DarkVision’s global SME for underground storage and oversees the company’s continued expansion into the storage well integrity market, including traditional reservoir storage, salt caverns, and adjacencies such as disposal wells and CCUS. Zachary has over 20 years of industry experience, starting his career as an MWD/LWD Engineer for SLB before moving into the Midstream sector as a Sr. Storage Engineer with the Columbia Gas / TC Energy family of companies and later as Vice President, CCUS & Reservoir Storage for WSP, a leading energy storage consulting firm. Mr. Evans began his career as an MWD/LWD Engineer for SLB with international placements in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Australia. Following his time abroad, he has amassed nearly two decades of midstream experience, first serving as a Senior Storage Engineer with the Columbia Gas / TC Energy family of companies, operating assets and managing capital budgets for the largest storage and pipeline company in North America. He later joined WSP, a leading energy storage consulting firm, as Vice President, CCUS & Reservoir Storage, where he oversaw all of the company’s depleted reservoir storage work, including engineering, compliance and project management, with national business development efforts in traditional storage, carbon sequestration, and hydrogen. Mr. Evans is an active member of the North American underground storage community, having been a former member and two-time past Chair of the Southern Gas Association’s Underground Storage Committee and having served as a Team Lead for authorship of the 2nd Edition of API Recommended Practices 1170 & 1171 governing storage He is also a passionate SPE volunteer, serving in a variety of local, regional, and international roles, including a founding member of the SPE Hydrogen Technical Section and a former member of the SPE’s International Board as the Regional Director for North America.
