The Future of Energy - Part 1: Gas Turbines and Hydrogen
Manage episode 339501484 series 2832374
Global warming is dramatically altering the world around us. And, as the population of the world continues to increase so does the demand and consumption of global energy. The fascinating world of energy and how additive manufacturing (AM) will impact it in the future is inspiring. Let's jump into jointly investigating how these technologies work, what attributes they bring to provide energy for current and future generations, and the contributions of AM to help us transition to a carbon-free future by 2050.
During today's episode, Fabian speaks with Quan Lac, VP of additive manufacturing at Siemens Energy, and Pierre Forêt, Head of AM at Linde about how AM is impacting the transition toward clean energy. Quan shares how Siemens Energy is utilizing AM-created pieces to further enhance gas turbines, supplement other necessary energy equipment, and how they are preparing to transition to green fuels. Pierre describes how Linde uses AM to release the full potential of hydrogen to increase volume and reduce the cost of green hydrogen.
