Wellbeing Group - the future of energy in Australia

There is a lot of talk about energy at the moment. Different colours of Hydrogen, renewable energy and its opportunities and challenges, and more recently the re-emergence of Nuclear as an option previously discarded by the Australian people and governments.

Isaac Hinton is the Head of Australia at InterContinental Energy, a developer and investor in large scale renewable energy and green hydrogen.  He oversees the company’s Australian activities and partnerships to support the long-term growth strategy and project implementation.  This currently includes serving as Chair for the consortia developing the Western Green Energy Hub and the Australian Renewable Energy Hub, two of the largest proposed Renewable Energy and Green Hydrogen Projects in the World.  

Isaac proposes to take the Men’s Shed goup through the benefits and challenges facing not just Australia, but the world in transitioning away from fossil fuels. He will go through the colours of Hydrogen and what they mean, why finding a renewable source of Hydrogen is so important and often talked about and provide some thoughts on nuclear energy for Australia and the facts and realities we need to be thinking about.

Isaac has nearly 20 years of experience in the energy and resources industries.  Previously, he worked at BHP for more than 10 years in various global leadership roles in sales, marketing, procurement, and was Chief of Staff to the President Australia. 

 Isaac holds a Master of Commerce in Applied Finance and a Bachelor of Business Economics and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
