Dr. Peter Williams has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director of First Hydrogen UK.
His appointment will aid in the expansion of First Hydrogen’s UK subsidiary, which is tasked with developing the world’s first hydrogen-fueled and zero-emission utility vehicles, as well as green hydrogen production and distribution. Peter is currently the Head of Investor Relations and Group Technology Director at INEOS, a global chemical company.
Prior to joining INEOS, Peter spent more than two decades at British Petroleum (BP), where he held senior positions in business, technology, and strategy. He also serves as a Non-Executive Director for V-Carbon, a company that develops engineered and sustainable carbon fibre solutions for the automotive, aviation, and aerospace industries. He is also a member of the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Peter will bring to First Hydrogen his extensive technology experience gained over 40 years at BP and INEOS.
Nicholas Wrigley, Chairman of First Hydrogen, comments, “We’re delighted to welcome Peter on board and know he will be a fantastic asset to our team. As a trained chemist and material scientist he brings great insight on improving the use of hydrogen and sustainable materials, particularly in the automotive sector. His expertise will prove particularly invaluable as we develop the first hydrogen-fuelled commercial fleet vehicles and refuelling solutions. The First Hydrogen team is also assessing the viability of green hydrogen production in the UK and elsewhere to be able to provide its mobility customers with a full service, to include the fuel.”
Peter Williams, Non-Executive Director of First Hydrogen UK, says, “I’m delighted to join such a forward-looking company as it develops the potential of hydrogen for transportation. Successfully switching to zero-emissions fuels will help us to dramatically cut carbon and is an important component of the drive to a climate neutral economy.”
