Alan Seale: The Hydrogen Boom - Whatever Happened?

In the early 2020s consultants and others forecast a glowing future for the Green Hydrogen Industry. Since then we have witnessed a parade of project cancellations and much less business media chatter. What is surprising is this should not have been a surprise.

Alan is a retired Chemical Engineer with nearly 50 years’ experience in the petrochemical, chemical and water industries.  He served as General Manager Technology for Orica, Chair of City West Water and as an Adjunct Professor at Monash University.

He was a Rotarian for 39 years, a Past President of Rotary Central Melbourne and is now a member of Melbourne Probus. Alan and Robyn have been married for just over 60 years, have three adult children and seven grandchildren.
