Howard Energy Partners (HEP) has announced the appointment of Richard Sherrill as the division president of Howard Low Carbon Solutions. With over thirty-five years of senior leadership experience in the energy sector, Sherrill brings a wealth of knowledge to his new role, having dedicated the past five years to developing carbon sequestration projects in the Midwest and MidAtlantic regions through his company, Clean Aire Partners (CAP).
Prior to his tenure at CAP, Sherrill held significant roles, including founder and president of Ceritas Holdings, chief operating officer of Duke Energy N.A., and vice president of Dynegy. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for Talos Energy Inc. (NYSE: TALO).
Mike Howard, Chief Executive Officer for Howard Energy Partners, expressed confidence in Sherrill’s appointment, highlighting his extensive experience in project origination and development, commitment to environmentally responsible operations, and proven track record of team leadership.
Sherrill’s appointment comes as HEP finalises two US Department of Energy Carbon Capture and Sequestration funding grants, including a $9 million CarbonSAFE Phase II grant under a consortium between HEP, Talos, the Port of Corpus Christi, and the Texas A&M University System. These grants aim to accelerate the development of a centralised solution for capturing and managing industrial CO2 emissions.
