SUMMARY:Green Hydrogen Economics and Transition Challenges
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:﻿﻿﻿ \nWebinar details\nAlthough hydrogen has been known since 1670 and an average of 56 million tons is produced annually for industrial purposes\, the large-scale production\, widespread distribution\, and use of green hydrogen remains a relatively new concept globally. While some countries\, particularly within the EU\, possess well-developed gas distribution infrastructure\, the distribution of green hydrogen still presents significant challenges. Its adoption is further hindered by economic models that currently make it more expensive than natural gas. \nAs a fuel\, green hydrogen’s combustion characteristics present additional difficulties for the designers of gas turbines and piston engines. Consequently\, a phased approach is often adopted\, initially blending small percentages of hydrogen with natural or petroleum-based gases. Some manufacturers anticipate that internal combustion engines capable of running on 100% hydrogen will take years to fully develop\, and are therefore producing upgradeable engine units in the interim. \nSafety is another key concern. Public perception often equates hydrogen with high risk\, viewing it as potentially explosive. However\, despite hydrogen’s high calorific value\, its physical properties as a gas can make it safer than many other conventional fuels. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nUnderstand the different types of hydrogen\, with a focus on how green hydrogen fits within the broader industrial hydrogen landscape.\nRecognize the technical\, logistical\, and financial challenges involved in the distribution and adoption of green hydrogen\, both locally and for export.\nGain insight into hydrogen’s combustion and safety characteristics\, as well as the complexities of adapting internal combustion engines for hydrogen use.\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Renewable Energy  and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Fundamentals of Green Hydrogen Technology\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Hydrogen Energy – Production\, Delivery\, Storage and Use\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Hydrogen Powered Vehicles\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Green Smelting Technologies\n52894WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Renewable Energy)\n52910WA Graduate Certificate in Hydrogen Engineering and Management\n\n\nAbout the presenter\n \nDr. Andries Van der Linde\, EIT Lecturer and Technical Director of Harvard Green Energy \nStarting from humble beginnings as an apprentice electrician at the South African Railways\, Dr Van der Linde caught the eye of the training officer at Volkswagen SA where he subsequently worked as an electrician resulting in an electrical engineering scholarship. After completing his studies\, he worked at Volkswagen as engineering planner until he was offered a full-time post as a lecturer at the now\, Nelson Mandela University. After adding Mechanical Engineering to his name\, it did not take him long to initiate one of the first renewable energy research programs in South Africa to which he added several firsts resulting in him being awarded both the De Beers and Oppenheimer Awards for research\, enabling him to read for his PhD at the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom. During this time\, he published prolifically and was invited to speak at conferences across the globe. His research career ended on a high note with him being awarded the largest grant in academic history to initiate a large-scale wind demonstration project. This project resulted in the first commercial wind farm in South Africa earning him the accolade as the initiator of the South African wind energy industry. \nHe left the academic environment to start his own energy consultancy. However\, he never left the academic environment behind because since then he supervised post graduate students at the Da Vinci Institute\, moderating examinations at the Tswane University of Technology\, while acting as a visiting academic at the Texas Southern University. At the time the educational system was being restructured in South Africa and even here he left his footprint as a consultant to several SETAs\, the Engineering Council and the South African Qualification Authority whom he assisted with Unit Standard and Course Development.

SUMMARY:The Challenge of Water Security in Arid Economies
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:﻿﻿ \nWebinar details\nAs the global population grows\, the world is increasingly constrained by water stress. In arid economies this poses a unique set of challenges that require the ability to integrate different skills into high impact teams. In the case of Australia\, a major contributor to the economy is mining. This suggests that growing demands will be made on the Social License to Operate\, which will directly impact the investor confidence needed to sustain economic growth. \nThis webinar provides insight into a conceptual model of water as a changing risk over time. It defines threshold events typically associated with transition from one phase of development to another. Central to this is the need to deal with the cumulative impact of past engineering interventions\, which introduces the notion of non-linearity into the process. It also proposes a new paradigm capable of integrating a broader range of skill sets into technical teams by aligning their output with strategic interests such as investment risk. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nUnderstanding what water security means for arid economies.\nLearning how to manage aridity from an engineering perspective.\nLinking these activities to the capacity for economic growth despite growing water constraints.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic is multidisciplinary and relates to the following schools of engineering: \n\nCivil Engineering\nIndustrial Automation\, Instrumentation and Process Control\nData Comms & Industrial IT\n\nAbout the presenter\n \nDr. Anthony Turton\, EIT lecturer and Head of Strategy Nexus Resilience \nDr. Anthony Turton completed his PhD on water as a national security risk\, focusing on contested shared rivers. His work was classified at the time and involved professional engagement with various governments worldwide where water was a national security issue. He later transitioned from the classified environment and became a Fellow at the CSIR. In that role\, he was appointed Vice Chairman of the Research Advisory Panel (RAP)\, the highest organ in the CSIR responsible for the parliamentary grant allocation to the national water strategy. Part of his core responsibility at the CSIR was serving as a media spokesperson for water\, which significantly raised his profile. He also served as Deputy Governor on the World Water Council and continues to work as an editor for their official journal\, Water Policy. He was the Executive Director of the International Water Resource Association (IWRA) and later became Deputy President. He also became a founding member of the Universities Partnership for Transboundary Water. In these roles\, he gained considerable experience working in transdisciplinary teams that included process engineers\, mining engineers\, environmental scientists\, and geohydrologists. \nAfter leaving the CSIR\, Dr. Turton was appointed as a Professor at the Center for Environmental Management at the University of the Free State. He began working on water as a risk and opportunity for mining companies. In that role\, he was appointed as an advisor to the Chairman of the Board and/or CEO of two Australian-listed mining companies operating in South Africa. One was a gold tailing recovery process\, and the other was a major open-cast metallurgical coal mining operation. He has worked with various governments in an advisory role\, including those of the Nile\, Mekong\, Helmand\, and Jordan Rivers. On the commercial side\, he has worked as a consultant to the financial services industry\, including institutional investment fund managers\, focusing on water as a risk to their portfolios.
