Dr Jonathan Butler
Analyst, AsiaJonathan works as Analyst at Fuel Cell Today, specialising in market developments in the Asia Pacific region. A current emphasis of his work is on the consumer electronics and portable applications of fuel cells. Jonathan’s expertise is in legislation and policy affecting fuel cells at regional, national and supra-national levels. He is interested in fuel cell funding mechanisms and how issues such as of codes and standards may act as drivers or barriers for fuel cell adoption. Jonathan is also interested in the intellectual property aspects of fuel cell technology, particularly patent and patent opposition analysis, and their commercial implications.
Jonathan is the Moderator of the Low Carbon and Fuel Cell Technology Knowledge Transfer Network (LCFC KTN) on behalf of the UK Technology Strategy Board, a major project co-managed by Fuel Cell Today. The Network is aimed at accelerating business innovation in the UK’s low carbon and fuel cell sectors. Much of Jonathan’s work for the LCFC KTN focuses on project brokering and includes securing funding fuel cell R&D, start-up companies, as well as partnering with various stakeholders in UK and international fuel cell demonstration projects.
Jonathan holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh and an MA and MSc from the University of Oxford. He has previously worked at the UK Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) as an Energy and Environment adviser, and on a major EU Sixth Framework Programme project.

Dr Ben Todd
Consultant Ben has extensive research and consulting experience in the fuel cell industry, specialising in the technical barriers to the deployment of fuel cells. Ben has been an active member of the UK fuel cell and hydrogen community for over seven years through his work on projects such as the London Hydrogen Action Plan and the development of the first carbon-neutral theatre. He completed his PhD on the modeling of solid oxide fuel cells for power generation in 2005 at Cambridge University Engineering Department, where he was sponsored by Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems. Expertise: Solid oxide fuel cells; fuel cells for stationary power generation; barriers (technical, economic) to fuel cell adoption. Other Projects and Networks: Ben also works as a Consultant on the Low Carbon and Fuel Cell Knowledge Transfer Network run by the UK Technology Strategy Board.

Lisa Callaghan Jerram
Senior Market Analyst, North AmericaLisa is based in North America and specialises in fuel cells for transportation, with over ten years experience in analysing the progress of transportation fuel cell applications toward commercialisation. Her focus includes legislation and regulations affecting fuel cells and hydrogen at the state, regional and national levels in North America. She is also exploring opportunities for fuel cell adoption in Latin America.
Since graduating from the University of Virginia, Lisa has spent her career researching, analysing and writing about clean, sustainable transportation. She has authored and contributed to numerous stakeholder studies and she was the facilitator for the U.S. Federal Transit Administration’s International Fuel Cell Bus Working Group, which brought together fuel cell bus stakeholders from Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia and the U.S. She previously chaired a Society of Automotive Engineers heavy-duty electric drive committee and was appointed to committee positions at the Transportation Research Board and American Public Transportation Association.
She is a frequent speaker at international industry conferences including the Fuel Cell Seminar, National Hydrogen Association, Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Futures conference and Canada’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Conference – as well as smaller workshops and briefings for industry and government representatives.
Other Projects and Networks Involved In: U.S. Fuel Cell Council’s Transportation and Government Affairs working groups and as a Research Associate at the Mineta Transportation Institute.

Nicholas Huleatt-James
Analyst, EuropeNick is focused on understanding the dynamics of the European fuel cell industry with a specific interest in niche transport fuel cells and the development of a global refuelling infrastructure. He is also interested in the emergence of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in developing economies, and in working with SMEs and NGOs who would like to get involved with the fuel cell industry.
Within the Low Carbon and Fuel Cell Knowledge Transfer Network, Nick works with a number of stakeholders encouraging the development of a UK based supply chain through the organisation’s brokering activities.
Nick holds a BA in Marketing from the Bristol Business School. Prior to working at Fuel Cell Today he worked at the National Energy Foundation, promoting further adoption of renewable energy and energy efficient technology initiatives undertaken by government and industry.
Other Projects and Networks: Nick works as a moderator for the Fuel Cell Knowledge Transfer Network on behalf of the UK Technology Strategy Board and sits on the Communication Working Group of the London Hydrogen Partnership.
