The recent issue of SPARK Magazine includes a feature story by Shaun Ghafari, Ph.D, P.Eng & Savdulla (Sadi) Kazazi Ph.D., P.Eng. on the Sustainable Microgrid Renewable Technology (SMART Lab) - an educational and experimental environment to train Humber College students and professionals about 'the future of power management' in microgrids. The SMART Lab provides the opportunity to design, build and test new technologies, educate graduates and consumers, help develop standards and regulations, and disseminate information. The lab features cutting-edge sustainable digital technology including a microgrid control and monitoring system and is also equipped with EV charging stations.

This coming week, I'm in two Australian regions that provide great examples of how universities are helping regions be more than just energy transition project hosts. While the majority of new energy and hydrogen investments will inevitably be destined for regions; an additional focus on research, education, training, manufacturing, innovation and supply chain development, can unlock a greater local dividend, boosting regional social and economic amenity. On Tuesday, I'm attending the official opening of Deakin University's Hycel Technology Hub in Warrnambool, South-West Victoria. Led by the fantastic Hycel Director, Professor Tiffany Walsh, the hub is situated along a key transport corridor that connects industries, communities and resources. As a regional hub for testing hydrogen technologies at scale, it's building momentum for the region to capitalise on the increasing national and global demand for hydrogen, and supporting the local economy to attract further investment. On Wednesday and Thursday, I'm attending the Gladstone Engineering Alliance 2024 Major Projects, Industry and Energy Conference in Gladstone, Central Queensland. Gladstone is often titled the "Hydrogen Capital of Australia" and GEA does a fantastic job of connecting up the region's impressive manufacturers and suppliers with project proponents. On the second day of the GEA conference, I'm presenting on CQUniversity's drive to build our hydrogen and renewable energy capability and capacity in Gladstone, to help realise the ambition of our community, government and industry partners. We are already developing the region's workforce, solving industry challenges, and helping community understanding, but we have much more to do. Regional universities right across the world are a key partner in transitioning regions from boom-bust cycles to sustainable economic development. Project investments are more bankable with a skilled local workforce, local supply chains, and greater community acceptance. Looking forward to the week ahead!
