Carina joined the Black & Veatch hydrogen business as a young chemical engineer in 2021. Since then, she jumped into the ambiguity in the early hydrogen market and began to build a standard approach, across many feasibility projects, of how Black & Veatch thinks about solving hydrogen’s technical challenges with a strong focus on bankability. She then became a lead process engineer on the leading EPC project, Advanced Clean Energy Storage Hub in Delta, Utah, which is a 220MW of renewable power that is producing 100mt of hydrogen stored in salt caverns. Currently, she has a key role in advancing the technical team into the next phase of the hydrogen economy. |

Diana has delivered several gigawatts worth of green hydrogen projects. She supported some of the first green hydrogen studies delivered by Wood and was part of one of the company’s first green hydrogen core groups. Diana won the Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association Annual Conference student poster competition and was awarded the George Smith medal for The Best Doctorate Thesis in her year by IDCORE. She has also presented on hydrogen initiatives at Offshore Wind Europe, Tech20 and the House of Commons in Westminster. Still early in her career, Diana became a mentor for undergraduate students in Edinburgh University’s Women in STEM mentoring program. |
