It’s been a busy start to 2022 for AGA and its members in the renewable energy sector, in particular with the imminent hydrogen transition.
Since the establishment of the AGA Hydrogen Testing facility in 2018, the hydrogen appliance testing and development has increased exponentially. We are pleased to see our members and manufacturers embracing the exciting transition to hydrogen in line with our net zero targets.
In addition to the increase in testing, AGA has also been involved in a number of high level consultation committees and special projects nationwide regarding Hydrogen conversions and certification transitions. AGA representatives and many of its members are also well represented on the Standards Australia ME-093 Hydrogen Technologies Committee. ME-093 has already published a number of key Standards and is working on many more critical specifications and Standards to come.
AGA has also been in high level meetings with its international partners in the Asia Pacific Region, Europe and the United States regarding future collaboration and sharing of information.
Given this fast growing area, AGA has created a new dedicated department – Renewable Energy, and accordingly we are pleased to announce that our Mr Daniel Trevarthen and Tom Lord are AGA’s and our industry’s Renewable Energy Technical Advisors.
Both Daniel and Tom have strong technical foundations and tertiary qualifications, Daniel specialising in Physics and Tom in Chemistry. They have both received years of hands on training in the AGA testing laboratories and are committed to the betterment of our industry and sustainable future.
