MICROCOAL TECHNOLOGIES APPOINTS FORMER PRESIDENT AND CEO OF ONTARIO HYDRO INTERNATIONAL TO ADVISORY BOARD
Microcoal Technologies Inc. has appointed Thomas S.
Drolet to the advisory board.
"We are very pleased to welcome Thomas Drolet to the advisory board," said
Slawek Smulewicz, chief executive officer and director of the company. "Tom has had a
45-year career in many segments of the energy sector and has held senior
positions in: electrical utilities, technology development, coal,
natural gas, nuclear, distributed generation, geothermal and renewables
companies. The company is excited to work with Tom to tap into his
Canadian, U.S. and international networks. This relationship will allow
the company to expedite its marketing strategy to sell the Microcoal
technology on a global scale."
Mr. Drolet was born in Ottawa, Canada. He holds a bachelor's degree in chemical
engineering from Royal Military College of Canada, a master's of science
degree in nuclear technology/chemical engineering and a DIC from
Imperial College, University of London, England. He also holds a mini-MBA from the University of Western Ontario (1980). Mr. Drolet spent 26 years
with Ontario Hydro in various engineering, research and operations
functions (predominately Nuclear Energy). He formed and headed Canada's
R&D (research and development) program into fusion (CFFTP) in 1982 and then moved into
international commercial work with Ontario Hydro International, a
spinoff of the world's fourth largest electrical utility, where he was
named president and chief executive officer in 1993.
Mr. Drolet was then appointed managing director of American Electric Power,
Canada, and president of Canadian Energy Opportunities Inc. where he
was involved in mergers, acquisitions and other consulting activities in
the Canadian and U.S. power sectors. He then joined DTE Energy
Technologies as its head of international business for distributed
generation products. Most recently, he has worked in renewable energy
doing electrical project work in Canada, the U.S., Chile, Peru and in Kenya.
He was at Chernobyl, Ukraine, soon after the accident in 1986, at Three
Mile Island and has been on TV talking about Fukushima several times
since the earthquake/tsunami/accident. He has given over 80
presentations on Energy, including coal-fired power plants and coal
supply over the last 35 years and continues consulting in most sectors
of energy worldwide.
Mr. Drolet said, "I am convinced Microcoal has an exciting
technology and I am looking forward to being an ambassador for the
company and assisting its expansion into markets globally." Coal plays a
vital role in electricity generation worldwide. Coal-fired power plants
currently fuel 41 per cent of global electricity and the clean coal upgrading
technology provided by MicroCoal will help reduce greenhouse gases as
well as improve efficiencies for the utility thereby keeping the cost to
consumers as low as possible."
