Dr Keith Simons
CTO
It's great to join a team that are working on a paradigm-shift in catalysis, combining fundamental catalyst design with scalable catalyst preparation technology - all at the atom level. Applying this technology to the long-established Haber-Bosch process is the best approach to enable a step-change for one of the biggest decarbonisation challenges the chemicals industry currently faces.
A chemical technologist by training, Keith has extensive leadership experience spanning large corporations, start-ups, universities, and government agencies. He specialises in strategy and proposal development, including public and private fundraising, and has a proven track record of leading high-performance teams to deliver impactful collaborative R&D programmes. Keith brings a wealth of experience in the sustainable energy, chemical, nanotechnology, and carbon abatement sectors. His recent work has focused on developing next-generation renewable energy solutions such as BioLPG, renewable e-fuels, and Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). As CTO, Keith is instrumental in advancing Nium’s nanotechnology platform and its application in catalysis. He will lead the technical strategy to decarbonise the chemicals industry by applying Nium's technology to the long-established Haber-Bosch process.
