GlassPoint Announces Former Australian Prime Minister and Former Alcoa COO Join its Advisory Board

GlassPoint announced that the 29th Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, and the former COO of Alcoa, Tomas Sigurdsson, have joined its Advisory Board.

The new Advisory Board members bring a unique mix of global leadership advancing sustainability in industrial operations.

They will play a key role in helping GlassPoint bring its category-defining solar steam solution to help a wide range of industries essential to the energy transition achieve net-zero commitments, with a focus on mining, metals and manufacturing.

Malcolm Turnbull is a former Prime Minister of Australia and a notable advocate for clean energy. Before his term as the 29th Prime Minister of Australia, he held a number of parliamentary positions, including Minister for Environment and Water Resources.

Before entering parliament in 2004, Mr. Turnbull was a successful trial lawyer and investment banker, where he led his own investment firm and served as a partner of Goldman Sachs.

"Leaders of Malcolm and Tomas' caliber joining our Advisory Board signifies a massive vote of confidence for GlassPoint," said Rod MacGregor, CEO and founder of GlassPoint. "Their expertise and deep understanding of industrial market dynamics and clean energy will be invaluable in serving our mission of decarbonizing process heat at scale. I look forward to working with them to meet soaring demand for a proven solution that helps companies achieve net-zero commitments."

"The world can't meet its net-zero pledges unless industrial players make enormous leaps in decarbonizing operations," said Turnbull. "Consider that it's common for large industrial plants to require more energy than many cities, much of which goes to thermal processes. Solutions like GlassPoint, which help hard-to-abate industries reduce emissions up to 80% and are available today, will play a major role in combating climate change."
