We gladly announce that Drs. Ing. P.A.J.P. Cnubben, Team Manager Green Molecules, will represent New Energy Coalition in the ERIG Board of Directors. Patrick is focused on the development of projects in the field of (biogenic) energy carriers such as Green Gas, (Bio)LNG and Hydrogen. He is also involved in the HEAVENN project.

Dr. Julio Garcia, Research Coordinator, will join the ERIG Scientific Advisory Board. Julio is coordinating the HyDelta project at NEC. His skills include the topics Hydrogen & fuel cells, Electrolysis and PEM technologies.

The cooperation with New Energy Coalition was already given due to the same interests. The inclusion  in ERIC as an official member is a logical step to further deepen the cooperation.”, so General Secretary of ERIG Hans Rasmusson.
