He brings 25 years of experience from a variety of national and international energy organisations, such as Costain, Bechtel, and Technip. Furthermore, Mr Bartlett has a wealth of low-carbon and hydrogen-related expertise gained in both commercial and technical areas of the midstream and downstream sectors. His most recent work includes overseeing the delivery of:

- Complete engineering and consenting expertise for the UK’s first large-scale hydrogen production hub
- Hydrogen assessment solutions to determine the feasibility and system compatibility with hydrogen for a multi-national power company
“We are pleased to announce the appointment of Darren Bartlett as Global Energy Transition Director,” said Peter O’Sullivan, Penspen CEO. “Darren has the experience, knowledge, and expertise to effectively advise the industry on low carbon and hydrogen-related opportunities from a project financing and development, regulatory and infrastructure standpoint. He has been involved in many first-of-a-kind sustainability projects across the global energy industry – from repurposing of power stations for hydrogen – to carbon capture and storage for onshore and offshore operators.”
“As the market continues to develop quickly, Darren’s invaluable insight as an industry expert in the emerging energy transition field makes him well-positioned to lead the strategic direction of these projects,” added O’Sullivan.
