What is the Australian Hydrogen Forum?

After years of small scale studies and interesting but non-commercial projects, the Australian hydrogen sector is finally gearing up for at scale hydrogen. A functional hydrogen supply chain has to work around major issues to be profitable. Find out what the early adopters are doing to overcome these problems and how you can be part a workable hydrogen economy at this conference.
You’ll hear from international and local organisations who are meeting the challenges and the factors informing their strategies. Speakers include governing bodies, investors, energy companies and energy users from a broad spectrum of industries.
This conference won’t be a talk-fest of dated pilot projects, it’s an event about progressing hydrogen from a conversation to practical (and profitable!) reality.

Why you need to be there in 2020:

• Learn from 5 international hydrogen implementations that are delivering hydrogen at scale and lessons from their
  experiences
• Grasp the practical realities of large scale hydrogen projects (hear from the world’s first hydrogen supply chain from
  Brunei to Japan)
• Get in-depth cost analysis of the financial feasibility of commercial hydrogen from industrial energy users like BHP,
  Anglo American, BP and Yara Pilbra
• Hear how energy generators like Stanwell and Hydro Tasmania are planning to produce cost competitive hydrogen
• Decide your strategy for integrating hydrogen into existing infrastructure by hearing from those that are doing it,
  including AGIG, Nikola (USA) and Engie (Chile)
• Find your place in the consortiums forming new ways of doing business in the hydrogen economy with representatives
  from AHEAD, Green Hydrogen Consortium and HESC
• Discover who is investing in what (and why) with commentary from BloombergNEF, Macquarie Capital, Austrade and
  multiple government bodies
• Be part of the most comprehensive hydrogen event in 2020, with speakers from the full energy supply chain, from
  mobility, generation, industrial use to cutting edge storage and supply

Why You Should Attend

The Australian sector has always prioritised their worker’s health and wellbeing in the workplace. Arc flash safety has been a big topic in the energy sector but with the 2018 arc flash incident in Yallourn power station, organisations are putting more priority in safe maintenance practices and the maintenance of arc flash protection equipment.

marcus evans Arc Flash Electrical Safety 2020 aims to provide practical ways in improving arc flash safety, standard compliance, and effective arc flash mitigation strategies. Delegates will be able to gain critical insights on updates for 2018 edition of IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E, guidelines to the safety standards and calculations, effective mitigation methods, safe asset maintenance practices new arc flash technologies, and arc flash prevention in renewable technology.

Don’t miss your chance to hear world-renowned Arc Flash expert, Jim Phillips, one of the primary developers of the IEEE standards, talk about how Australia can use the IEEE 1584 changes to strengthen in-house arc flash safety practices. Secure your place at our 5th Annual Arc Flash Electrical Safety now!
