Brandon Moffatt Takes the Helm at StormFisher

In a significant move for the green energy sector, StormFisher has announced the appointment of Brandon Moffatt as its new Chief Executive Officer. Moffatt, who co-founded the company, succeeds Jud Whiteside and will lead the organization in advancing its focus on low-carbon energy solutions.

A Foundation Built on Experience

Moffatt's extensive experience in renewable energy project development positions him well for this role. He has been an integral part of StormFisher since its inception, overseeing various large-scale energy projects across North America. His deep understanding of the entire development process, from design to construction, will be crucial as the company strives to meet its ambitious goals.

"I am honored to take on this role," said Moffatt. "Our priorities are clear, focusing on advancing the Varennes project toward a final investment decision while collaborating with our shareholders, investors, and government partners, especially in Quebec. We aim to keep the company performance-oriented, always adhering to the highest standards of excellence." Moffatt emphasized the importance of a strong team as the backbone of StormFisher's success.

Recognizing Leadership Transition

Jud Whiteside, the former CEO, played a pivotal role in the company’s growth, particularly in developing the Varennes project. The Board of Directors expressed their gratitude for Whiteside's contributions and trust in Moffatt’s leadership for the next phase of StormFisher’s journey. "Brandon’s familiarity with our projects, partners, and team makes him the ideal leader to drive our endeavors forward," stated Nishka Gupta, co-chair of the Board and Senior Vice President at ARC Financial.

The Varennes Project: A Game-Changer

One of the highlights of Moffatt's new role is the Varennes project which will establish the first large-scale e-methanol plant in North America. This ambitious project, backed by nearly a billion-dollar investment, aims to convert clean hydrogen and captured CO2 into low-carbon methanol. The plant is designed to produce 72,000 tons of e-methanol annually while capturing and reusing 100,000 tons of CO2.

StormFisher is committed to pushing this project forward while expanding its impact in Quebec, where they will collaborate with local suppliers, communities, and partners. The Varennes facility is set to play a vital role in developing a low-emission fuel sector that caters to both local and export markets. It will particularly contribute to emissions reduction in hard-to-electrify sectors such as maritime transport, aviation, and heavy industries.
