About SG Arsenio Dominguez:

Arsenio Antonio Dominguez Velasco is the tenth IMO Secretary-General, bringing with him more than three decades of experience serving the global maritime sector, across a spectrum of leadership roles of increasing scope and responsibility.

Initially representing his native Panama, first within the Panama Maritime Authority and in his lattermost appointment as Ambassador of Panama to the IMO, his affinity for building consensus saw him elected by his peers as Chair of several flagship IMO intergovernmental meetings, including: the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), the Technical Committee of the 29th Assembly, and the Maritime Security, Piracy and Armed Robbery Group, as well as a number of Vice-Chair and Board member roles.

A naval architect at heart and by training, Mr. Dominguez gained his first degree at Veracruzana University, Mexico. Recognizing from the outset of his career the importance of a multi-disciplinary and multi-sectorial approach to the maritime sector, Mr. Dominguez later went on to pursue a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Hull, as well as an executive qualification in International Law and European Politics at Birkbeck University, both in the United Kingdom.

This agile approach served him well in better understanding the priorities and navigating the needs of the different stakeholders across the maritime sector, and indeed the complexities of a specialized UN agency whose mission it is to support them. In 2017, Mr. Dominguez harnessed this extensive technical and diplomatic knowledge and experience as a delegate for the benefit of IMO. He joined the Organization, first as Chief of Staff, followed by Administrative Director - leading the Organization through the COVID-19 pandemic. Directly prior to his election in July 2023 as Secretary-General, he was the Director of the Marine Environment Division.

His initial term as IMO Secretary-General was approved at the 33rd Assembly in December 2023.

Hydrogen Hubs Announcement

https://www.energy.gov/articles/biden-harris-administration-announces-7-billion-americas-first-clean-hydrogen-hubs-driving

About Pierre-Etienne Franc:

Pierre-Etienne spent a quarter century developing Air Liquide's businesses, managing the use, research, and development of hydrogen applications. As the Hydrogen Council’s initiative secretary, Pierre-Etienne and Air Liquide were joined by 12 other founding industry players, advocating for hydrogen to help foster the energy transition.

In 2021, Pierre-Etienne stepped away from Air Liquide to start a pure play hydrogen investment fund known as FiveT Hydrogen of which he is the Chairman. FiveT Hydrogen partnered with Ardian of France and launched a clean hydrogen infrastructure investment platform, dubbed Hy24. With Pierre-Etienne at the helm, Hy24 raised Clean H2 Infra, the largest fund worldwide dedicated solely to clean hydrogen infrastructure deployment.

About Hy24 and Clean H2 Infra:

Boasting over 70 strategic finance and industry limited partners, the Fund offers an ecosystem of opportunity to its various hydrogen portfolio companies. Hy24 has already announced seven investments, some of the most promising entrepreneurial adventures across Europe, Australia, and the Middle East, to support projects which will be among the largest in the world with gigawatts of competitive renewable capacity to decarbonize hard-to-abate established industries. Hy24 is color agnostic, but the hydrogen must qualify under the European taxonomy and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulations (SFDR) in a way that it is Article 9 compatible—so whatever process is used needs to reduce emissions by a minimum 70 to 80%.

Fun facts:

- Unlike Article 8 funds under the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, which need only promote environmental or social characteristics and have good governance practices, Article 9 funds should make a positive impact on society or the environment through sustainable investment and have a non-financial objective at the core of their offering.

- The founding 13 members of the Hydrogen Council are Air Liquide, Alstom, Anglo American, BMW Group, Daimler, Engie, Honda, Hyundai, Kawasaki, Shell, Linde, Total and Toyota.

- Hy24 recently announced their investment in InterContinental Energy

About Paul Barrett:

With a PhD in Chemical Engineering from University College Dublin, many patents to his name, and decades of experience at the intersection of science, engineering and business, Paul has worked with everyone from early-stage tech start-ups to industry giants in water, materials & energy.  

As a former investment partner at IP Group Australia (LON: IPO), and close to a decade of electrolysis experience, Paul used his deep domain expertise to search the globe for game-changing approaches to hydrogen production. This led to the creation of Hysata, which closed its AUD$42.5M in Series A financing in mid-2022.

About Hysata:

Hysata is an Australian electrolyser manufacturing company developing a completely new type of electrolyser, featuring the world’s most efficient electrolysis cell coupled with a simplified balance of plant.

Hysata claims it’s electrolysers require only 41.5 kWh to produce 1 kg of hydrogen (vs. 50-55+ kWh/kg for the best commercial electrolysers). This ultra-high efficiency exceeds the efficiency target of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) for the year 2050. It also transforms green hydrogen production economics, to well under $2/kg.

Their patented technology was validated by Nature Communications in March 2022 and was in the top 1% of articles read across all journals tracked by Nature Communications in 2023. The stack performance has also been verified by a major EU electrochemical lab (publication pending).

The Hysata founding team comprises electrolyser industry veterans, with deep expertise in the design and scale-up of novel electrolysers. Building on that foundation they are growing a world-class engineering, manufacturing, and commercial team with a footprint in multiple continents. Backed by leading global investors, Hysata is moving rapidly towards manufacturing at the multi-gigawatt scale needed to address climate change.

Who is BayoTech?

BayoTech manufactures low cost onsite hydrogen generation equipment. Our goal is to provide our customers with the lowest cost hydrogen in an easy and modular fashion. BayoTech is committed to addressing the need for consistent, cost-effective supply of hydrogen. We offer modular, scalable, and rapidly deployable hydrogen generation plants for on-site hydrogen production that empower our customers to take control of their hydrogen supply chain.

BayoTech’s unique approach to SMR hydrogen

BayoTech is that we are a pure play hydrogen technology company. We only produce hydrogen – no power, no heat for external purposes. Our core technology is a SMR Bayonet, with a very low pressure drop catalyst form factor which allows us to capture significant amounts of heat internally, reducing the amount of energy required for the process. This leads to efficiency which in turn leads to lower carbon footprint. This combined with being onsite, allows us to eliminate the significant cost of compression and or liquification plus eliminate transportation too and the associated carbon footprint. 

The role of steam methane reforming on the path toward zero carbon

Steam methane reformers can use biogas as a carbon neutral feedstock for hydrogen generation.  There are also many interesting solutions for carbon capture that can help further reduce carbon footprint. BayoTech’s process is more efficient, so we are uniquely positioned with a technology that allows us to have a lower carbon footprint by design. Our on-site SMR eliminates transportation associated with carbon footprint.  We expect to see at least a 25% reduction in the carbon footprint associated with the SMR heating process due to efficiency

The future of BayoTech

BayoTech is in the midst of our series C round and have several parties in the data room currently. We believe that there is a great opportunity to add to our existing 200, 500 and 1000 kilo lineup and ramp up to also include a 5 tonne, 10 tonne and 30 tonne per day hydrogen unit and onsite ammonia units in late 2021. In addition we would like to launch a Gas as a service in certain key markets around the world where we can offer low cost hydrogen to customers in addition to our other approaches to market.

Path to Hydrogen Competitiveness: A Cost Perspective

The cost of hydrogen solutions will fall sharply and sooner than previously expected, as scale up of hydrogen production, distribution, equipment and component manufacturing continues. Cost is projected to decrease by up to 50% by 2030 for a wide range of applications, making hydrogen competitive with other low-carbon alternatives and, in some cases, even conventional options.
