We are Oort Energy: innovating the technology that makes electrolysis economical and sustainable.
At Oort Energy we sell electrolysers with stacks designed, built and manufactured in-house & BOP outsourced. In the field we currently have a 250kW electrolyser system that is completely off-grid, with the hydrogen being produced by solar power. Currently we are delivering a 100kW electrolyser within the UK and a 1MW electrolyser outside of the UK.
Lee is currently CEO of Fuel Cell Systems Ltd (FCSL). Industry insiders often talk about Hydrogen’s Chicken and Egg problem: Vehicle manufacturers cannot sell hydrogen vehicles without a refuelling infrastructure; Infrastructure & fuel network providers cannot recoup their investment if there are not enough vehicles using hydrogen. The result is Gridlock! Our approach has been to redefine the Chicken and Egg problem as simply “Refuelling Infrastructure is too expensive”. Now that’s an engineering problem we can fix!
Prior to FCSL, Lee spent eight years at UK Fuel Cell manufacturer Intelligent Energy, completing his time there as Chief Sales Officer. Leading the global commercial team and launching Intelligent Energy’s low carbon hydrogen products in to three market sectors: automotive, power generation and aviation. Lee’s involvement with the hydrogen industry started back in 1995 when among other projects he supported the field trials of SOFC CHP.
