Bruno Georges Pollet

Bruno Georges Pollet (born 1969 in Orléans in France), educated in Grenoble (Université Joseph Fourier, France), Aberdeen (The University of Aberdeen, Scotland) and Coventry (Coventry University, England), is a French chemist and electrochemist, a Fellow of the UK Royal Society of Chemistry, professor of chemistry, director of the Green Hydrogen Lab, deputy director of the Institute for Hydrogen Research (Institut de Recherche sur l'Hydrogène) at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières in Canada and adjunct professor in Renewable Energy at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He has worked on Hydrogen Energy in the UK, Japan, South Africa, Norway and Canada. He is regarded as one of the most prominent Hydrogen experts in the world. He is a member of the Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition (CEET): An Independent Advisory Council to the United Nations’ Secretary-General. He is President of the Green Hydrogen Division of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy. He was awarded two prestigious NSERC Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Green Hydrogen Production, and the Innergex Renewable Energy Research Chair (partly funded by the Québec Ministère de l'Économie et de l'Innovation) focussing on the next generation of hydrogen production and water electrolyzers (electrolysis of water). He was also awarded the "IAHE Sir William Grove Award" for his work in hydrogen, fuel cell and electrolyser technologies by the International Association for Hydrogen Energy (IAHE). His research field covers a wide range of areas within electrochemistry, electrochemical energy conversion and sonoelectrochemistry (use of ultrasound in electrochemistry). This includes the development of new materials; storage of hydrogen and fuel cells; water treatment / disinfection; demonstrators and prototypes. Together with Torstein Dale Sjøtveit, he was member of the foundation group for the establishment of FREYR Battery (lithium-ion battery gigafactory) in Norway.
