Energy Estate, a leading advisory and accelerator firm, is delighted to announce that Kevin Peakman and Angus Tulloch are joining our team.
Kevin Peakman is a hydrogen and industrial gas specialist with over 35 years of experience in Australian and global markets. He was formerly the head of engineering – alternative energy for BOC in the South Pacific region.
Kevin is at the forefront of the growth of the green hydrogen industry and his relevant experience includes the design and operation of electrolysers, fuel cells and hydrogen distribution and storage systems including liquid hydrogen, green ammonia and other chemicals. In recent years he has been leading teams developing hydrogen fuel chain supply networks including the development of hydrogen production, distribution and refueling technologies to support the roll out of hydrogen fuel cell EVs as well as other customer solutions.
Kevin is a member of several Standards Australia technical committees developing and maintaining standards in the clean energy space including hydrogen. Kevin is joining our team in Sydney.
Angus Tulloch is a mechanical engineer who spent the last 5 years as a facility engineer for Sundrop Farms in South Australia. He has overseen the design, construction and operations phases of this exciting and transformative project which incorporates CSP, desalination and sustainable agriculture production. His role included optimisation across all aspects of the Sundrop Farms facility, ranging from multidisciplinary work in the greenhouses to technical processes throughout the clean energy and water production plants.
Angus brings to Energy Estate hands-on experience with the integration of clean energy technologies and innovative solutions to achieve outcomes which create economic and community benefits. Angus is joining our team in Adelaide led by Energy Estate’s technical director, Paul Rasmussen.
Simon Currie, principal of Energy Estate commented “Kevin and Angus join us at an exciting time. Energy Estate is accelerating the development of large scale integrated clean energy, water and green hydrogen projects in Australia and other markets globally. We believe in a future where renewable energy technologies drive sustainable outcomes and not just ever cheaper electrons. Bringing on board green hydrogen and sustainable agriculture experts perfectly complements the skills and experience of our outstanding team”.
Vincent Dwyer, principal of Energy Estate commented “The global decarbonisation story is rapidly evolving and is now closely linked with post COVID localisation of supply-chains. Using local, renewable energy sources to solve not only for low-cost power but also for locally produced green fuels for transport and green chemicals and gases for agriculture, mining and heavy industry requires ongoing innovation. The experience Kevin and Angus bring in these sectors is incredibly valuable in supporting that innovation - for the technologies and businesses we are accelerating though our recently launched incubator EnergyGrowth and our broader industrial and investor client base”.
