DNV announced the employment of four experienced hydrogen professionals to assist the company’s Asia Pacific hydrogen business’s rapid expansion.
The new appointments to the hydrogen team in Asia Pacific include the following:
- Dr. Robert Judd – Technical Director Hydrogen & Gas, APAC
- Dr. Thomas Koller – Senior Hydrogen Consultant
- Dr. Peerapat Vithayarichareon – Principal Consultant
- Scott Trevean – Senior Hydrogen Engineer
As governments and businesses address the difficulties of climate change, low-carbon hydrogen has become an increasingly important part of the national agendas of several Asia Pacific economies in order to satisfy their climate obligations while also meeting their growing energy needs. DNV projects in its 2022 Energy Transition Outlook (ETO) that by 2050, APAC hydrogen generation for energy purposes will account for 9% of APAC energy consumption.
“I am very pleased to welcome Dr. Judd, Dr. Koller, Dr. Vithayarichareon and Mr.Trevean to DNV. They are exceptionally talented individuals who bring with them a deep understanding of our industry and customers, and extensive international project experience. In addition, they have the right blend of skills and experience to drive our innovation agenda and manage the changes that come with today’s energy transition. These new colleagues will be joining DNV’s extensive global hydrogen network which has delivered over 120 projects in the past 12 months, combining the best of our global experience with local knowledge and perspective,” said Brice Le Gallo, Vice President and Regional Director APAC, Energy Systems at DNV.
