hydrogen hubs
Getech, the net zero technology provider and data-led energy
asset developer, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jim
Irvine as Engineering Director of H2 Green, the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary focused on developing and operating green
hydrogen hub infrastructure.
Jim is a highly experienced engineering professional in the
hydrogen and fuel cell industry with over 20 years' experience,
working for various major engineering companies, including BAE
Systems, Ricardo PLC, Caterpillar Inc, Tata Technologies and
Intelligent Energy. Jim joins H2 Green from Ballard Motive
Solutions Ltd (formerly Arcola Energy), where he was Head of
Production Operations & Supply Chain. In this role, he defined
and built Arcola's procurement and operations capacity, culminating
in the design and build of the Glasgow City Council
hydrogen-fuelled refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) and the hydrogen
train project showcased at the COP26 conference. He is a Chartered
Engineer with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and has a MSc
in Systems Engineering from Loughborough University.
Jim's primary focus at H2 Green will be on leading the upcoming
development of the Inverness and Shoreham green hydrogen projects.
He will also play a key role in building H2 Green's engineering
capabilities in facility optimisation, engineering design,
procurement and project delivery.
A Q&A with Jim, providing further insight into his new role
and its importance on accelerating the green hydrogen development
is available on the Company's website - www.getech.com.
Commenting on the appointment, Dr Jonathan Copus, CEO of Getech
stated:
"Jim brings a wealth of practical experience in the hydrogen
sector and a successful track record in the development, delivery
and management of hydrogen projects. His extensive engineering and
leadership capabilities will be invaluable as we embark on the
rapid development of our green hydrogen projects and enter the next
phase of our evolution as a sustainable asset developer.
"With the UK government's stated commitment to reach 5GW of
installed low-carbon hydrogen capacity by 2030, we are scaling up
to develop a transformational portfolio of regional hubs that will
help to decarbonise the commercial transport industry. Our first
two green hydrogen hubs in Inverness and Shoreham are progressing
well towards development and we look forward to replicating our
strategy across other sites, both in the UK and internationally, to
deliver long-term recurring income. Jim's appointment is well-timed
to ensure we deliver on these plans."
Jim Irvine, Engineering Director, said:
"I am delighted to be joining a business positioned at the
forefront of the UK's growing green hydrogen sector and to be part
of the team striving to make a difference in creating a greener
cleaner future. I look forward to working with my new colleagues on
driving the development of the two major regional green hydrogen
hubs in Inverness and Shoreham and achieving our vision of
accelerated decarbonisation . "
