This week Beyond the Rig welcomes Philip Julien, Managing Director of Kenesjay Green Limited. Phillip is most notably known for these days as one of the faces leading the green hydrogen revolution in Trinidad and Tobago. In this episode we have a chat about his journey and advice he can offer young professionals looking to bring clean energy technologies in the Caribbean region.

In 2020, Mr. Julien led the development of Kenesjay Green Limited (KGL), taking the helm of this pioneering entity in the energy transition industry, to establish renewable and low carbon-based energy projects for Trinidad and Tobago and the Region. The NewGen Clean Hydrogen Production Project is his first major undertaking under the KGL brand. Philip Julien is also the Founder of the Heroes Foundation – a registered not-for-profit non-governmental organization which was established in 2002, to “Create the Next Generation of Heroes”.

Phillip was born and raised in Trinidad, and continued his tertiary education in Canada, graduating in 1993 from McGill University in Montreal Canada, with a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering and a Minor in Environmental Engineering. After working in the Canadian engineering consulting sector, he returned to Trinidad in 2001, and since then has been integrally involved in project development and consulting activities in the local energy sector. After serving for five years as the Location Director for WorleyParsons in Trinidad, he assumed the role as Managing Director of Kenesjay Systems Limited before starting KGL in 2020.
