Green hydrogen services company Protium has opened an office in Scotland to support its pipeline of projects valued at more than £1bn in total.
Newly appointed chief commercial officer Jon Clipsham (pictured) will head up the new office.
Protium’s projects span sectors including aviation, road transport, alcoholic manufacturing and food and beverage.
Protium’s Scotland presence has been established to support its growing projects in the region, with three clients based in Scotland and additional projects in the pipeline.
Clipsham will lead Protium’s client engagement team across all UK regions, further supporting existing clients’ decarbonisation efforts across its accelerating projects.
Clipsham has spent more than 25 years in the chemicals industry and more than five years in the green hydrogen space.
Previously he “developed and led many of the projects which have driven the growth of the green hydrogen eco-system in Orkney”, and is a board member of the Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (SHFCA).
He also holds various lecturing positions at Scottish universities and educational institutes covering hydrogen and renewable energy.
Clipsham said: “I am delighted to join Protium at such a pivotal and exciting time for the company.
“I fully align with Protium’s mission of taking action and delivering change while policy and industry catches up. I look forward to working with the team and its clients in supporting the national energy transition and am proud to be joining forces with other experts in the field who share the same vision.”
