July 2022 - Martin Thomas: Hydrogen & Nuclear Energy
Speakers
Martin Thomas was born and educated in the UK. He moved to Perth in 1967 in his early 30s. He moved to Sydney and has had a lifetime career in energy consulting with Sinclair Knight Merz specialising in industrial energy conservation in Australia and overseas. He has held many honorary positions within the industry and in 1992 he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for services to energy and engineering and in 2015 received the AGM Michell Medal, the highest award of College of Mechanical Engineers and the Annual Award of the Australian Nuclear Association.
His topic is “Hydrogen and Nuclear Energy, an Unlikely Marriage”. Nuclear energy is one of the most remarkable, extraordinary and potentially valuable resources known to man. Respected and exploited intelligently by some, it is feared and rejected by others; often on grounds that lack rationality or persuasive logic. But may the current political drive for clean energy and the use of “Green Hydrogen” bring opportunities to bring nuclear back into the viable options?
