Nick Salmon

Nick is an Energy Modeller working for the International Energy Agency in Paris, with a particular interest in Green ammonia as a global vector for renewable energy. He previously worked for BP as Hydrogen Technical Insights Analyst, based in London. Nick has also undertaken energy consultancy for the World Bank in Washington DC.

He moved to the commercial sector after receiving his doctorate in Engineering science at Worcester College, Oxford, where his research focus was on the use of Green ammonia as a spatial energy vector to set up new economies in nations with export renewable energy potential; to sustain the decarbonised economies of energy-importing countries which need to import energy; and to facilitate global decarbonisation.

Before coming to Oxford, Nick obtained a Bachelor and Masters of Chemical Engineering at the University of Queensland. He previously worked with Worley’s Green hydrogen team in Australia, developing the concept design for a number of hydrogen / ammonia projects.
