We thank him for his unwavering commitment and wish him the best in future endeavours.   

“On behalf of the entire Dimeta team, I would like to thank Luca for his contributions to Dimeta.

Frankie Ugboma, Dimeta CEO

Katrien joins Dimeta from SHV Energy, where she was the Finance and Investment manager for Sustainable Fuels, responsible for driving the collaborations and investments supporting sustainable low-carbon energy product development. Her arrival is crucial, as we are one step closer to bringing the first commercial-scale DME production plant at Teesside, UK, to fruition.   

“I am elated to join the Dimeta team as the Business Development Director. I am enthusiastic about leading our efforts in bringing the first renewable DME production plant to a financial close whilst expanding the portfolio of future projects and building vital partnerships to create a more sustainable future”.
