A key figure in the development of the Gigastack project - the South Humber Bank’s green hydrogen production plan involving offshore wind energy - is stepping down from his role.
Dr Graham Cooley, chief executive of ITM Power - the Sheffield company behind the manufacture of scalable electrolysers - will take on a senior strategic role in the company, having led the firm for 13 years. It has seen a huge new factory developed, with major contract wins in Europe alongside the partnering with Orsted, Phillips 66 and Element Energy.
Dr Cooley said: "It has been a privilege to lead ITM Power through its transition from an R&D business to a world leading electrolyser manufacturing company. As we seek to become a global manufacturing powerhouse, now is a good time for me to step aside and hand over to someone with more experience in this area.
