The world needs
clean energy.

Ian Scott is the Chief Executive Officer at Moltex Energy Limited. He and John Durham co-founded the company in 2012, bemused by how nuclear energy had gone from being “too cheap to meter” to too expensive to afford, and determined to remedy this flaw. Ian attended Cambridge University to study nuclear physics but was seduced during his first year by the excitement of the biological sciences and made his career in this field. He was Chief Scientist at Unilever PLC for 25 years, and left to found Synergy Biosystems, an entrepreneurial drug discovery company, before turning his attention back to nuclear.

Rory O’Sullivan is the Chief Executive Officer at Moltex Energy Canada Inc. He joined Moltex Energy Limited as Chief Operating Officer in the UK in 2015. Under his leadership, the company has not only made innovative technological advances, but also secured government funding and essential support from industry as well as community and Indigenous groups. By attracting the right talent and partnerships, he has re-tooled Moltex to move from concept design to engineering design of its flagship reactor, with the goal of commercial operations in New Brunswick, and expanded rollout soon after.

Rory began his career as a project manager at the Bouygues group, garnering awards for construction projects in London and for building housing capacity in Haiti. With a vision for delivering clean, low-cost energy to the world, he co-founded Energy Process Developments Ltd to pursue advanced nuclear power generation and led a government-funded feasibility study on the development of a prototype molten salt reactor. Rory sat on the International Atomic Energy Agency’s advisory committee on molten salt reactors and was a Forbes 30 Under 30 Standout. He obtained 1st-class honours in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering from Trinity College Dublin and a degree in Mechanical Design Engineering from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon in France.
