Team

Medi is a Chartered Engineer with an MBA and over 20 years of international experience in the energy sector. His career spans engineering, consulting, EPC, and owner-operator roles across the USA, Australia, and the Middle East, with practical involvement in construction, commissioning, and operations.

He has a broad and practical experience in project development from inception to operations, ESG, risk management, capital efficiency, strategy, and technical and commercial optimisation. His work includes due diligence and technology development across the energy value chain.

Most recently, Medi served as Manager of Energy Transition & Decarbonisation at Kent, a global energy company. During his career, he has led projects in mining and fossil fuel decarbonisation, natural gas and LNG development, and early-stage renewable energy—including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and energy storage. His work also spans hydrogen (green and blue), carbon capture, and low/zero-carbon fuels such as ammonia, methanol, biofuels, and syngas.

With a multidisciplinary background and a track record of practical, systems-level insight, Medi is committed to driving innovative and sustainable energy solutions.

Jacob is a seasoned front-end process architect and project developer with extensive expertise across multiple industries and engineering disciplines. Since the early 1980s, he has been actively involved in hydrogen, ammonia, and syngas projects, working with a range of feedstocks, including green, blue, brown, grey, and purple. His global experience spans Australasia, Southeast Asia, the United States, Europe, China, India, and Africa.

Throughout his career, Jacob has held key technical roles, including Process Subject Matter Expert (SME), Process Manager, Owner’s Engineer, Lender’s Engineer, and Lead Process Engineer.

His expertise in the New Energy and decarbonisation sectors includes studies on various electrolysis technologies and scales (PEM, Alkaline, SOEC), assessments of ammonia production technologies (KBR, Topsoe, Casale, ThyssenKrupp (Uhde), Stamicarbon), and advancements in CO₂ treatment, compression technologies, and net-zero roadmaps. 

Liezl is a self driven, energetic and passionate leader within the consulting, technical planning and directional studies environment. She has a can do attitude with strong inter personal relationships aiming to bring the best out of her team. As a study and project manager, Liezl mainly manages strategic and major projects – with a preference to conceptual studies and strategy development. She thrives when coordinating a program of works, combining complex studies to enable an optimal and informed long term plan.

Liezl has 27 years of experience as an engineer, with hands-on operational experience and in-depth knowledge of mining, process and supporting functions in the business. Liezl has been an industry analyst and study manager for several major investments in Iron ore, Bauxite, Platinum Group Metals, Base Metals in Australia and Southern Africa as well as conceptual studies on renewable energy, fuels and battery minerals in USA, Canada, Africa and Australia.

Liezl steered complex, high value, strategic projects within all aspects of mining: mine planning and development, processing and refining, with sustainable development aspects (decarbonisation, biodiversity offsets, renewable energy). She believes in understanding and informing the bigger picture to ensure pro-active alignment on the outcome required. 

Morteza holds a Ph.D. in Energy Engineering and brings over 15 years of experience across industry and academia, specialising in decarbonisation, electrification, and energy efficiency within the mining, energy, and building sectors. He possesses deep expertise in Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS), electrified haul truck systems, and large-scale renewable energy projects, leading initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and optimise energy consumption in industrial operations.

With a strong background in energy auditing and optimisation, Morteza has conducted comprehensive assessments to enhance energy performance in mining plants, material handling systems, and building infrastructure. His expertise extends across the pre-FEED and FEED stages of renewable energy system development, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and co-generation solutions, ensuring sustainable and cost-effective energy management.

His technical proficiency in thermal and energy systems modelling enables him to design and implement high-efficiency energy solutions that align with global net-zero and sustainability goals. His expertise lies in driving innovation in renewable energy integration, electrification strategies, and decarbonisation initiatives for the mining and built environment.
