Penomo is pleased to welcome Dr. Pascal Kuhn as Strategic Advisor - Energy Markets, strengthening our leadership team as we accelerate the institutional adoption of tokenized infrastructure.
Dr. Kuhn is a seasoned expert in renewable energy and infrastructure development, currently serving as Managing Director, Germany at Recurrent Energy - world’s 2nd largest and most active developers of clean energy projects. Recurrent is co-owned by Canadian Solar and BlackRock who have recently made a $500 million investment, cementing its position as a one of the leading asset deployers in the transition to clean energy.
A Track Record Across Europe’s Energy space
Pascal’s career spans multiple high-impact roles in the energy and infrastructure sectors, including leadership positions at:
Goldbeck Solar, a top-tier EPC and PV developer across Europe and emerging markets.
EnBW, one of Germany’s largest energy suppliers, with a growing renewable portfolio.
DLR (German Aerospace Center), where he contributed to high-level energy innovation and sustainability R&D.
This breadth of experience has positioned him at the intersection of energy innovation, project finance, and sustainable infrastructure development. With hands-on expertise in structuring and scaling renewable projects across Europe, Pascal brings a strategic view that will be instrumental as Penomo advances its onchain infrastructure thesis.
Bringing Top Quality Assets
Penomo exists to bridge institutional capital with high-quality real-world assets - including clean energy infrastructure-backed debt. Pascal’s insight into energy project origination, capital deployment, and regulatory dynamics adds a key layer to our mission.
Together with Pascal, Penomo is also evaluating and adding Recurrent‘s assets to its tokenization pipeline.
His appointment comes at a pivotal moment. As the energy transition accelerates globally, tokenized infrastructure offers a significantly faster, more transparent, and globally accessible way to finance renewable projects.
Pascal’s advisory role will focus on:
Identifying and supporting tokenization of large-scale energy projects.
Expanding Penomo’s network within institutional and developer ecosystems.
Navigating evolving policy, sustainability, and impact reporting frameworks.
Infrastructure as an Asset Class, Powered by Real Expertise
Pascal said,
"Penomo is addressing a critical and pressing challenge in renewable infrastructure finance—one I’ve witnessed firsthand across various projects and markets. By leveraging tokenization, Penomo is democratizing investment opportunities in the energy transition, enabling broader participation.
The shift from hard infrastructure-backed assets to mobile, digital, and tradable investments is a transformative approach. With large volumes entering the market, the industry must evolve from one-to-one deals to more standardized solutions, and Penomo is at the forefront of this shift. What truly impressed me is the team’s expertise and long-term vision.
I’m excited to be part of Penomo in bringing this innovation to life—because this is exactly the kind of bold thinking we need to accelerate the energy transition.”
Our CEO, Jasvir, added "We’re entering an era where infrastructure finance and tokenization are on a course to merge. Pascal understands both worlds very well — he knows what it takes to build real projects, and how to structure assets for global capital flows."
Dr. Kuhn’s appointment follows other recent additions to Penomo’s advisory board, including senior figures from Deutsche Bank, MUFG, and the broader RWA ecosystem. These milestones reflect our continued momentum in building the institutional infrastructure for the next era of onchain finance.
