Presenter: David Spence, M.D.


David is a partially retired physician/pediatrician and is gainfully employed as a school bus driver in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA. My hands-on experience with hydrogen as a fuel dates back 20+ years when I took a weekend seminar by Roy McCallister, “Using Hydrogen to fuel internal combustion engines.” I converted a go-cart to use hydrogen and a propane Bar-B-Que grill to burn hydrogen. In recent years I have tried to keep up with the burgeoning developments in hydrogen as a fuel, energy storage method, and as a means to decarbonize sectors like steel and cement.
