the appointment of Dan Shaw, an experienced industry professional,
as Director of Business Development.
Dan is an entrepreneurial business and new ventures executive,

and technology contacts.
His previous positions have included Director of New Ventures
and Corporate Development at Harsco Metals & Minerals, a

initiating and developing a range of projects globally; and working
with a prominent Middle Eastern investment fund to establish new
manufacturing operations in the metals, energy and advanced
materials industries.
Prior to that he spent several years working as a business
analyst and product and process development manager in the steel,
metals, chemical and materials industries, and acted as a
consultant to firms in the metals, IT services and industrial
processing sectors.
Dan holds a BSc (Hons) in Applied Chemistry 1st Class and an MBA
(Commendation) in International Business from Bristol University;
and is the inventor of two US patents for metallurgical recycling
technologies. He is a UK citizen, currently based in the US.
Working with the existing US- and UK-based business development
team at AEG CoalSwitch, his role will include negotiating with
international power generation utilities and raw material feedstock
owners to further develop the commercial opportunities for the
company's Biomass-derived coal replacement fuel technology, which
has generated enormous international interest since it was
announced in September 2015.
Commenting on Dan's appointment, Richard Spinks, CEO of Active
Energy Group Plc, said "My colleagues and I have known and worked
with Dan over the past few years, and are delighted that he
recognises the huge opportunity for AEG CoalSwitch's 'drop-in' coal
replacement fuel and has agreed to be a part of the company's
commercial development. We're confident that Dan has the industry
knowledge and experience to ensure that AEG CoalSwitch enters the
energy mainstream and is adopted worldwide, realising its potential
as the first renewable energy fuel that can be utilised in
coal-fired power stations without requiring retrofitting or
facilities conversion."
