SCOTTISH hydrogen technology pioneer Logan Energy has bolstered its executive team with the appointment of three industry-leading experts including the former chief executive of SSE, Ian Marchant, as chair.
He is joined by non-executive directors Bob MacDonald, former chief of specialist technical solutions at Wood, and Derek Mathieson, former chief marketing and technology officer at Baker Hughes.
Mr Marchant, who is the current chair of Thames Water, has over 30 years of industry experience with companies at the forefront of the private utility, power generation and clean energy markets.
“I have felt for some time that hydrogen has the potential to be one of the transforming technologies of the 21st century and its deployment will be key to achieving a net zero carbon society as soon as possible, particularly in the fields of transport and urban heat,” he said.

“This will require expertise in developing and deploying technologies and projects that are transformational at local, regional and international levels. Logan Energy has the track record, knowledge, and knowhow to lead these initiatives.”
He added: “It is exciting to get involved in an established business that’s part of a growing industry and I believe that hydrogen can have as big an impact as North Sea oil and gas had in the 1970s or the wind industry had in the early 2000s.”
Bill Ireland, of Logan, said the hirings "represent significant reinforcement"of its team.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
