Appointment of New Business Development Manager

 

AFC Energy (AIM: AFC), a leading provider of hydrogen power generation
technologies, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Robin Koeken as
Business Development Manager at AFC Energy.

 

Robin joins AFC Energy from ABB where he was European Head of Data Centre
Solutions based in the Netherlands, and before that, he was ABB's Global
Account Manager for large international cloud providers based out of San
Francisco.

 

Robin has a strong history of growing sales and driving business development
across the energy sector with a recent history in data centres, a sector that
is aggressively seeking to decarbonise away from the use of back up diesel
generators.

 

Robin will continue to be based in the Netherlands, a key location for
hydrogen and ammonia imports into the EU and will work with our business
development functions across Europe and the UK to grow a pipeline of
commercial opportunities in AFC Energy's key target markets.

 

Robin Koeken, on his decision to join AFC Energy, said:

 

"A key theme across the data centre and wider European energy market is the
need for decarbonisation and the role hydrogen can play in supporting this
outcome.  What I've seen at AFC Energy in the past eighteen months is a
targeted focus on supporting industry deliver on its net zero aspirations and
through the great work it is doing with ABB, I can see immense opportunities
for the technology and the Company's flex fuel strategy.  I am excited at the
prospects for AFC Energy and look forward to being part of its success in
Europe."

 

Adam Bond, Chief Executive Officer at AFC Energy, said:

 

"I am delighted to have Robin join the AFC Energy team and look forwards to
working with him to deliver and grow our pipeline of commercial opportunities
across Europe.  Our key markets, including data centres and critical back up
power customers, have big issues to be addressed as industry looks to
accelerate its transition away from conventional diesel back-up systems.  We
welcome Robin to the team."
