EENW designed this proprietary heat exchanger for pre-cooling hydrogen prior to filling fuel cell tanks.
Our Mission
Founded in 2011, EENW focuses on sustainable, renewable energy systems for projects involving advanced, highly efficient, micro-scale LH2 systems based on active magnetic regenerative liquefier technology. We analyze, design and manufacture new cryogenic products and develop advanced technology for long-term growth.
Our projects involve small-scale supply and refueling infrastructure for one or more of LNG, CNG, LH2, CH2, LHe. Our team of experts offers technical know-how to design and build, install, commission and operate cryogenic equipment and refueling infrastructure.
Our team continues to develop proprietary advanced, efficient, mobile and cost-effective refrigerators and liquefiers as the basis of new products in the mid-section of energy supply chains for natural gas, helium and hydrogen.
Dr. John A. Barclay, PhD
Founder, Managing Member
Emerald Energy NW is the third energy-related company Dr. Barclay has either founded or helped grow. His C-level executive and entrepreneurial experience is the basis for providing technical services to companies developing small-scale liquid hydrogen (LH2), liquid natural gas (LNG) and liquid helium (LHe) plants who wish to monetize these for energy and cryogenic applications. Dr. Barclay has over 40 years of technical, educational and executive experience in small and large technology companies, national research laboratories and universities.
His personal focus has been on the development of innovative, efficient, sustainable and renewable energy systems. Work in these fields has given Dr. Barclay a wide range of technical experience in magnetic materials, chemical and process engineering, mechanical engineering, applied thermodynamics and cryogenic engineering. He has been a principal author of more than 150 professional publications and inventor or co-inventor on 30 patents.
Ernie Jones
Vice President, Marketing, Sales & Business Development
Jones has 35 years of senior management experience in Sales & Marketing. He served as director of business development, VP of channel development, zone sales manager and chaired new product development teams for companies such as Unisys, Xerox, Maverick International and AFTS. Jones also managed the IBM/China global partnership channel for 10 years with Maverick, achieving record revenues.
His experience includes engineering design support for plants capable of efficient conversion of renewable natural gas (RNG) from landfill biogas and anaerobic digester biogas to LNG plants. Jones also has project execution experience from conversion of flare gas, stranded-well gas and coal-mine gas into LNG.
