Keynote speech at World Hydrogen Energy Conference
AFC Energy, the industrial fuel cell power company, announces that Ian Williamson, Chief Executive of AFC Energy and the President of the European Hydrogen Association, is giving a keynote speech today at the 20th World Hydrogen Energy Conference in South Korea.
During his speech, Ian will provide a European perspective on the fuel cell sector and use the opportunity to deliver an overview of AFC Energy. He will also discuss recent developments in fuel cell technologies in Europe and highlight the support schemes available to the industry there through a discussion of the Company's key technical demonstration - the Power Up project. In addition, Bob Kelly, AFC Energy's International Business Development Manager will deliver a more detailed presentation introducing AFC Energy's low cost supply philosophy and how Power Up facilitates the Company's commercialisation strategy.
The conference is hosted by the International Association for Hydrogen Energy and will feature a variety of hydrogen energy and fuel cell applications from companies and research institutions.
As part of AFC Energy's programme to increase the sector's awareness of its progress and initial products, the Company will have an exhibition stand for the duration of the conference.
Ian Williamson commented: "Having the World Hydrogen Energy Conference in Korea this year is a great fit for where the Company wants to market its products. Korea currently provides the largest number of customers for industrial fuel cell applications and it has been a focus of our plans since we began working in Korea 18 months ago. Most of the fuel cell community will be at the event which will provide us with a great platform to develop our relationships with potential customers as well as positioning AFC Energy amongst the leading companies in the sector."
