Welcome Sebastiaan Ruijgrok, New Expert in the Generation Professionals Group- [an Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Interview]
Each day, the power sector is moving further away from the business models of the past century and into the future of the energy industry. Whether that’s from digital tools or clean power generation or electric vehicles, we’re currently witnessing a complete transformation that is going to take a massive commitment to complete. And that’s why leaders in the various energy sector spaces will need to be held up as models for how this evolution should occur, as they are key for making the transformation possible.
One key area that’s seeing renewed interest and investment across the globe is regarding hydrogen energy. Hydrogen presents the opportunity to provide transportation fuels, seasonal energy storage, outlets for decarbonizing fossil fuel generation, and much more. But hydrogen has been hyped up before and failed to deliver on its promises, so this recent pathway must be treated carefully, and those leaders are going to be more important than ever.
For those reasons, Energy Central is thrilled to welcome Sebastiaan Ruijgrok of Siemens Energy to the Energy Central Network of Experts with a focus on the Generation Professionals Group, as well as Utility Management. In Sebastiaan’s role as Solutions Marketing Manager, he has a key focus on hydrogen energy and he’s bringing his years of experience to make the hydrogen future a reality.
As an Energy Central Expert, Sebastiaan will be on the Energy Central platform to address questions related to hydrogen energy while sharing his insights, and to kick off that process we wanted to introduce him to the community with an iteration of our Energy Central Power Perspective ‘Welcome New Expert Interview Series.’
Enjoy!
