Experience

Director

National H2

2023-7 - Present · 3 yrs 3 mos

Australia

Our mission is to build the world’s first network of plastic-to-clean energy plants across the APAC region, which will play a significant role in overcoming energy, waste, and climate challenges. We have a significant amount of sites in the pipeline, which we intend to transform into state-of-the-art hydrogen production facilities. We are using groundbreaking technology that takes non-recyclable waste plastics and converts them into hydrogen, syngas, and clean electricity while capturing the entrained carbon in the plastic for permanent sequestration. Through this, we believe we will develop the next-generation of infrastructure that will connect millions of people with clean hydrogen energy for the next hundred years, while also permanently removing damaging plastics from our oceans and other natural habitats.
