Gill named to senior role at The Carbon Trust

Steve Gill, the head of the World Refrigeration Day secretariat, has been appointed head of sustainable cooling at The Carbon Trust.

In this new role, Gill will lead global initiatives to address critical climate change challenges. He’ll also be charged with developing new propositions to address gaps and opportunities globally where The Carbon Trust can deliver significant mission impact.

Erstwhile president of the Institute of Refrigeration and director of ACRIB, Gill has considerable experience in the refrigeration industry. Over a career spanning more than 40 years he has held senior positions with renowned brands including GEA, Johnson Controls, Morris & Young, ABB Stal, Hussmann and BOC-Linde.

One of the achievements of which Gill is most proud has been to galvanise senior players within the global HVAC&R industry to back the World Refrigeration Day concept. It’s a role which he will continue to play.

Set up by the UK government in 2001 as an independent company, The Carbon Trust provides specialist support to businesses and the public sector. It offers advice on how to improve efficiency and grasp opportunities by cutting carbon emissions, saving energy and commercialising low-carbon technologies.

“Our mission is to accelerate the move to a decarbonised future,” says The Carbon Trust Chief Executive Tom Delay. “Today, that means leaders setting net zero pathways and everyone taking steps to reduce their environmental impact.”

The Carbon Trust aims to offer expert guidance on the route to net zero, sharing its experience from the climate change frontline.
