AMPO WILL BE ONE OF THE SPEAKERS AT THE CONFERENCE ABOUT “HYDROGEN AND INDUSTRY”

14 February 2017

Next February 16 will be held in Bilbao (Spain) a conference about technological opportunities in natural gas and hydrogen liquefaction and degasification.

Leire Colomo, head of innovation at AMPO POYAM VALVES, has been invited to participate as speaker at this conference and she will talk about the technological system of LNG equipment and the challenges for its adaptation to LH₂.

This event, sponsored by SENER and organized by SuPrEn, will take place from 10.00 a.m to 2.00 p.m in the COIBB’s event hall. The conference is directed towards industrial companies that use natural gas and hydrogen in their manufacturing processes, companies that distribute industrial gases, companies that manage electrical and thermal generation facilities, engineering and consultancy firms, business organizations and, in general, towards technicians related to energy and environment.

The integration of liquefaction and degasification processes in the production of natural gas and hydrogen, based on energy storage, results in a more sustainable energy mix. The application of associated technologies make the industrial exploitation viable, providing a significant reduction in greenhouse effect gases as well as the elimination of pollution focal points, with the consequent benefit for the health and the environment.
