As well as Founder and CEO of Rux Energy, Jehan is a multi-award winning scientist. Previously, Jehan was an emerging clean tech leader at KPMG Australia, completed a PhD in Chemistry at the University of Sydney, and has been listed as 40 Under 40 Most Influential Asian Australians in 2019 by Asialink, and was awarded India Australia Business Council Young Professional of the Year 2021. Jehan is a recognised thought leader, presenting at major hydrogen conferences and events in Australia, USA, UK, Singapore, Europe and UAE.

Rux Energy:

An Australian advanced materials startup delivering breakthrough efficiency gains for dispatchable hydrogen storage, Rux enables step change efficiencies for heavy mobility, maritime, rail, road, energy distribution networks, and heavy industry.

Rux is commercialising their breakthrough nanoporous MOF materials, which stands for Metal Organic Frameworks, a new field of advanced material for which the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2025. Rux is focused on industrial gas storage, in particular safer, more energy efficient, high volumetric density and lower cost hydrogen storage - a key part of the sector's value chain.

Rux has won a number of major international awards for their novel approach, including the prestigious CMA CGM Startup Award 2025 fo Safe & Compliant Transportation of Hazardous Goods, and the Australian Technologies Competition 2025 which recognised their innovative green & circular manufacturing and Safe & Sustainable by Design approach. Rux is about to launch its first commercial systems for construction, mining, maritime and bulk last-mile distribution, supported by large-cap industrials including Joint Development Projects with Bureau Veritas and R&D collaborations with Serco UK, the largest operator of British-flagged vessels.
