Charles River Associates (CRA) Establishes New Hydrogen Service Offering

Charles River Associates (NASDAQ: CRAI), a worldwide leader in providing economic, financial and management consulting services, today announced a new integrated hydrogen offering with a focus on helping clients on issues of strategy, organization, and operational issues in this critical area of energy transition to a lower carbon future, and the addition of two senior level consultants to lead this effort.

We’re excited to welcome Rod and Tony as they join our team of experts in enhancing our existing services to help clients develop a strategic perspective on hydrogen market opportunities,” said CRA’s President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Maleh.

Rod Davies joins CRA’s Marakon practice to spearhead the firm's hydrogen offering. Rod has more than 30 years of broad energy sector experience at BP where he held senior roles in Hydrogen, gas/LNG, renewables and energy systems, including the transition to net-zero. Most recently, he led BP’s hydrogen strategy and implementation plan.

Anthony Meggs will assist CRA’s Marakon practice as a Senior Consultant with over 20 years of experience in alternative energy. Tony currently serves as the Chair of Sellafield Ltd and was previously BP’s Group Head of Technology where he led the group’s Hydrogen business development activities. He has extensive leadership experience in the energy and infrastructure sectors in both the private and public sectors. Tony also co-chaired a Massachusetts Institute of Technology study regarding the future of natural gas.

“We are excited to welcome Rod and Tony and this important new strategic advisory offer to support our clients as they navigate opportunities in hydrogen,” said Neal Kissel co-head of Marakon, CRA’s CEO Advisory Practice. “Hydrogen is destined to play a vital role in the energy transition with applications across the energy system.”

“Energy infrastructure powered by hydrogen is finally becoming a reality; the shift to a decarbonized, electrified economy means that hydrogen will take on growing importance as an energy carrier, with implications in investment, strategy, and regulatory policy. Adding additional expertise to CRA will enable us to assist clients as they face these challenging questions,” said Christopher Russo, Head of CRA’s Energy Practice.
