Maggie MacLellan is a Master of Applied Science student in Chemical Engineering at Dalhousie University, where her research focuses on hydrogen-blending in natural gas clothes dryers. She has focused on the safety and operability of residential natural gas clothes dryers when fuelled with hydrogen blended natural gas, with ongoing work pertaining to compliance with CSA standards. Her work extends to quantifying performance impacts across varying hydrogen concentrations, bridging combustion analysis with the practical impacts for residential end-users.
Maggie also contributed to the Port of Halifax’s Green Shipping Corridor initiative, initiating Port Readiness Level (PRL) assessments in marine applications for the bunkering of hydrogen and other alternative fuels.
As a Nova Scotia Clean Economy Grant recipient, Maggie’s work has been recognized in promoting research surrounding hydrogen safety and the implications of hydrogen-blending for drying operations. Maggie’s combined experience in academia and industry speaks to her knowledge of the challenges and potential for hydrogen as an alternative fuel in transportation and residential contexts.
