Heliogen, Inc. announced the appointment of Apurba Das as its new Chief Technology Officer, effective immediately. Das, who has been with Heliogen since 2021 as Vice President of Engineering for Process and Power Systems, will now oversee plant design, engineering of CSP technology deployments, and the company's research and development efforts.

Das emphasized that Heliogen's solutions are uniquely positioned to overcome renewable energy intermittency challenges, providing reliable and scalable clean energy for use cases such as data centers and industrial processes. His leadership is expected to drive the company's path to deployment at scale, focusing on its primary commercial offering that combines CSP, solar PV, and thermal energy storage.
