The appointment builds on the 17-year-old company’s work to pioneer a fully renewably powered offshore platform in Trinidad and development of an industrial scale offshore green hydrogen production electrolyser concept on a converted jack-up rig in the North Sea. 

Haase, based in Norwich, UK, brings over 25 years’ energy industry experience gained from senior leadership, operational and commercial roles within Engineering and Industrial organisations, such as Petrofac and Bilfinger, as well as supporting major developers and operators across key stages of wind and hydrogen projects. She will co-ordinate with Norway, Perth and Egypt offices.

She said, “Aquaterra stood out for me because it is totally committed to delivering engineering solutions that really make a difference, as we transition to a greener world. The offshore wind and hydrogen sectors need to have the resources and expertise in place to meet its goals.”

The appointment follows the company being selected to pioneer a renewably-powered offshore platform in Trinidad.

James Larnder, Managing Director of Aquaterra Energy, said: “We’ve already secured a partnership to develop an innovative concept for offshore green hydrogen production, and we hope to capitalise on new market opportunities across the globe.” 

This summer Aquaterra Energy was awarded a high-pressure high temperature (HPHT) subsea riser contract with oil and gas operator, Umid Babek Operating Company (UBOC), for the exploration of its HP well on the Babek project in Azerbaijan.
