Solving Green Hydrogen delivery with Systems Engineering
Wednesday, June 4 from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Hydrogen is the key to unlocking accelerated energy transition switching for heavy industry, trucking, maritime, rail and aviation, but storage is hard, and it’s holding the entire hydrogen economy back. A Green Hydrogen Start-up is solving storage, with their breakthrough advanced nanoporous materials at the centre, and enabling sustainable end-to-end ecosystems, delivering efficient, safe and low-cost hydrogen, to precipitate a rapidly growing, potentially multi-trillion-dollar market by 2050. Systems Engineering practices have been implemented to ensure the most efficient pathway to achieve a safe and reliable product in the start-up environment. This talk will cover:
- The hydrogen supply chain ecosystem and the mission;
- The rationale for embedding systems engineering in a technology start-up environment;
- The implementation approach and the tools used; and
- Lessons learnt on the journey so far. The talk will be followed by an opportunity for networking.
Learning outcomes
In this presentation you will gain:
- an understanding the good practice on system engineering in a start up and technology development environment.
- an understanding to the systems engineering and environment communities of the hydrogen supply chain and challenges.
- an insight to career options in the start up environment for systems and sustainability engineers.
Speaker
Chris acquired a BE in Materials Engineering in 1998 and a Master of Engineering (by research) at Deakin University in 2002 on a postgraduate scholarship. He also has a postgraduate diploma in Project Management.
His career started in the automotive industry and was followed by a long stint at Cochlear, operating a variety of roles in implants development and product launch. In 2016-19 he joined numerous Aussies scaling Tesla in California and subsequently worked for various local cleantech startups, where he establishes Systems Engineering as a core competency for successful technology and product development.
Chris resides in Wollongong, NSW, where he raises his small family and pursues a longstanding interest in recreational aviation.
