Professor Pericles Pilidis On How Hydrogen Energy Can Power Our World

8/7/2022
"When we protect the environment, we need to do it in a way that protects economic growth as well, because this brings huge social and economical benefits." Today’s conversation is with Professor Pericles Pilidis. Pericles completed his doctorate in Gas Turbine Engineering at Glasgow University for many years he was the director of the Thermal Power Masters course and Head of the Gas Turbine Engineering Group at Cranfield University. Since 1994 he has been working on Hydrogen projects for gas turbines in air, land & sea applications and has published many papers on the subject. Which is why I wanted to have him on the show. In the effort to tackle climate change we need to take advantage of every known technological solution. Currently Pilidis takes large part in gas turbine research and postgraduate education, is the course director of the masters of science in Thermal power and contributes to hydrogen projects.
