Hydrogen Supply in the Coming Hydrogen Economy: What to Expect

Hydrogen Supply in the Coming Hydrogen Economy: What to Expect

Webinar Description:

Hydrogen has gone from an unknown chemical feedstock business to a political, economic, and even diplomatic hot potato. With new hydrogen-producing and hydrogen-using technologies being developed and commercialized at an increasing rate, the eventual outcome might be a hydrogen business 1000x bigger than it is today. This Webinar will explore this future.

This webinar is for you if you are asking yourself: What the future hydrogen economy has to offer to thermal processing companies? Are major hydrogen supply/demand disruptions expected in the future? And, perhaps most importantly, How should your company prepare?

About the Speaker:

Dave Wolff has over 40 years of project engineering, industrial gas generation and application engineering, marketing, and sales experience. He has been a Sales and Marketing leader for hydrogen generation technologies since 1999. Dave holds a degree in Engineering Science from Dartmouth College. He has an extensive background in hydrogen generation at large and small scale, hydrogen distribution, storage, and industrial utilization, as well as application knowledge across a diverse range of industries.
