Joan Weststrate

Practising over 20 years of Process Engineering & Development through Conceptual Design and Front End Loading into Detailed Engineering, Commissioning, Debottlenecking and Troubleshooting.

Experience in a variety of technologies ranging from upstream Gas production, through underground storage and crude oil refining to petrochemical installations, but focussing on electrochemistry since 2012.

Global energy demand is expected to double by the second half of this century, driven by population growth and increase in energy use per capita in developing countries. Providing this energy in a sustainable manner is one of the key challenges of our generation. Electrolysis provides the opportunity to transition to a more sustainable economy by the use of renewable energy.

With my Process engineering background & experience, Operational knowledge of electrolytic chemical processes and in-depth expertise on project development in water electrolysis and OEM product development, I'm in a unique position to contribute to the replacement of fossil-based energy and chemistry by green hydrogen in order to abate CO2-emissions and to mitigate climate change!
