Proteum Energy is a Phoenix-based cleantech company that turns wasted flare gas and residual hydrocarbons into clean hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and designer fuels. Using its patented modular Flare-to-Fuel platform and steam non-methane reforming (SnMR) technology, Proteum helps oil, gas, and ethanol producers cut emissions and profit from assets that would otherwise be burned off into the sky.
Terry Kennon is a chemical engineer turned investment banker turned clean-energy builder who serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Proteum Energy in Phoenix, Arizona. He took on the President role in March 2019 after roughly four years as CTO. With more than 30 years across chemical engineering, biofuels investment banking at J.P. Morgan, and renewable-energy entrepreneurship, Kennon now leads Proteum's patented technology that reforms renewable ethanol into low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen and 'designer fuels' - and turns wasted flare gas into usable product. He is a named inventor on the company's core patents and directs both its technology roadmap and its intellectual-property strategy.
