Juergen Puetter
President, CEO
In 2003, Mr. Puetter discovered that the wind resource of northeastern BC is world class — and was untapped. Shortly thereafter he founded Aeolis and laid the foundation for a company that is now a driving force in BC’s wind industry. While developing Aeolis, he realized that there is far more wind energy in the region than the grid will be able to accommodate for decades to come. In 2007, he thus founded Blue Fuel Energy to convert wind and other renewables into “liquid electricity” — low-carbon Methanol. The Government of Canada appointed Mr. Puetter as Chair of Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) from 2008 until June 2013, and he now continues to serve as a Director. Mr. Puetter was appointed to the Muskwa-Kechika Advisory Board in 2012 by Premier Christy Clark for the Province of British Columbia. In 1977, Mr. Puetter founded Bionaire, where he served as president and CEO for 15 years. In 1992 he founded Hydroxyl Systems, serving as president and CEO for a decade. He was responsible for much of the innovation pioneered and developed at both companies. His academic background includes electrical engineering and economics at Loyola University in Montreal. Along with his technical expertise, Mr. Puetter is experienced at negotiating and securing funding for business and project development.
