Founder · SHYNE LTDDr. Hervé Mazzocco, PhD, LEED AP
Physicist, clean-energy engineer and founder of SHYNE (Sustainable Hydrogen Networks). From modeling ancient rivers on Mars to building solar, storage, microgrid and hydrogen projects on four continents.
Profile
Dr. Hervé Mazzocco is an international sustainability and renewable energy expert with experience in the cleantech and power industry across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Africa. His work spans market development, growth strategy and project execution: LEED certifications, clean power systems, energy storage, smart grid technologies and the engineering of hybrid power systems for off-grid applications.
His path to energy was unusual. Born in Côte d'Ivoire and raised in France, he earned degrees in fundamental physics and climate and atmospheric physics at Université Blaise Pascal, then a PhD in hydrodynamics engineering and environmental modeling at the University of Padua, one of Europe's oldest universities. While completing his doctorate he played professional rugby in Italy for Petrarca, and spent time as a research scientist at NASA's Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, studying ancient river valleys on Mars and what their water meant for the planet's atmosphere. At CNRS in Orsay, France, he quantified fluvial erosion on Mars.
He then turned that science toward our own planet. He founded RA Energie, a renewable energy development, design and build company in Las Vegas and France, and has since led business development at energy storage and smart grid companies before founding SHYNE LTD in Nevada in 2016.
Career
Clean hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure; smart grid and smart city deployment with utilities in Côte d'Ivoire (consultant to Trilliant Networks, EMEA); energy strategy and a BIPV self-sufficient microgrid design for Guardhouse Studios (Italy and Scotland); microgrids and off-grid power in West Africa; BIPV, storage and smart EV charging in the U.S. and Europe; product and market strategy for energy storage and cleantech start-ups.
Introduced Imergy's vanadium flow batteries to the U.S. market and closed its first U.S. sales; promoted to VP of Solutions and then SVP of global sales and marketing, leading a 14-person team; built a sales pipeline of over $100 million, including remote electrification projects with SunEdison and telecom operators in Africa and India.
New market entry for a micro-inverter start-up; designed and developed a 5 MW PV + storage microgrid in Qatar.
Megawatts of distributed renewable energy and BIPV installations in the U.S., Middle East/Africa and France; LEED and renewable strategy consulting; consulting CTO to Suncell Energy, engineering "RAMP" (Remote Area Mobile Power) for remote telecom base stations in the MEA region.
Rural electrification program and electricity metering deployment.
Martian valley hydrology, discharge estimates and fluid-dynamics models of sediment transport; teaching assistant in hydrodynamics.
