About Gerard Sauer

My knowledge and skills are truly unique, with a wealth of knowledge of the following technologies and businesses. My career started in the internal combustion engines industry, designing and building racing car engines and vehicles. Then around 1990 a change of heart and emphasis led me into a career in Renewable Energy such as Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, Electrolysers, Batteries, Electrical Machines, EVs, Automotive design and development practices, product and business development, as well as identifying and growing leading edge businesses.I am an optimistic, energetic and innovative person. This theme can be traced throughout my career, where I have always chosen the entrepreneurial route establishing new companies, exploring and developing technology markets and acting as a catalyst to bring fruitful partnerships together.I am known to be loyal, hardworking with a highly developed can-do/hands-on dynamic approach to the tasks in hand. This has lead to notable successes, particularly when involved in building and motivating work teams to focus on and achieve immediate goals and outcomes, often with limited resources. Motorsport and its demands on team work gave me cross-over skills and opportunities in the fields of Automotive Engineering and later on in my career in the Renewable Energy sector. Professional skills:My range of technical automotive/engineering skills were acquired in the Motorsport industry, and they are best applied to helping bring new and R & D based projects to market and making them a commercial reality. I have introduced and implemented systems that bring near-term technical innovations to the manufacturing floor, always using gateway principles to ensure commercial focus in my previous company Automotive Consultants. This has been the theme in the Renewable sector too, where I established and ran successful businesses such as AFC Energy and Fuel Cell Systems.

This was the culmination of a project started in 2002 with research into the creation of a mass produced Fuel Cell electrode that could be produced at 10,000 mtrs/day at a very low cost. The subsequent team work and the setting up of the company. building one of the most knowledgeable teams of Scientists and engineers, to achieve a real commercial proposition in FC endeavour is still one of my most treasured achievements. The fact that today the company is on the verge of selling its first systems on a pure commercial basis shows that all those years ago the vision we created was correct. The company now has a market cap of around 160 Million and has recently installed its first systems with clients in the Chlor-Alkali industry. This is especially pleasing as we ( myself, Dr Mike Mangan, Dr Keith Williams and Otto Carlisle) identified all those years back in 2002, that the pathway to commercialisation was not in transport or storage, but instead we reasoned that it was better to place Fuel Cells where the Hydrogen was already present and reconvert waste H2 into electricity for the client.
