Jacob Klimstra received his Bachelors degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Technical College of Leeuwarden, NL. He joined N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie in 1970 to work on pulsating combustion and on vibrations based gas turbine diagnostics. Jacob subsequently studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southampton, UK, which was concluded with a Ph.D. thesis on the optimisation of reciprocating engine/compressor combinations. He then worked on the introduction and improvement of cogeneration based on reciprocating engines fuelled by natural gas. During that process, he wrote many international papers on subjects related to reciprocating engines and gave numerous presentations. He also converted diesel buses and boats to natural gas. From 1993 to early 2000, Jacob was Head of Department of Industrial gas Applications at Gasunie Research. In that capacity, he studied modern management techniques and implemented these in research management.

Jacob received the Richard Way Memorial Prize for his Ph.D. thesis, the Van Oostrom Meyjes Prize from The Royal Netherlands Institution of Gas Engineers for his work on engine-driven cogeneration and received 5 Oral Presentation Awards and the Distinguished Speaker Award from SAE. In September 2000, he received the ICE Division Speaker Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In 2003, he became recognised as Registered Energy Advisor.

Jacob is also a paper reviewer for SAE and ASME. He serves in many national and international committees related to energy use and is active as a board member and adviser of educational institutions.

From 2000 to 2009, Jacob was employed by Wärtsilä in Zwolle, NL, as senior specialist for engine-driven power systems fuelled by natural gas. At Wärtsilä, he wrote and presented about 90 papers on energy supply, cogeneration and engine development. In January 2005, he received the 2004 Quality Award from Wärtsilä. In June 2007, Jacob received a Best Paper Award at the PowerGen Europe Conference in Madrid. At the PowerGen Europe 2008 conference, he gave a key note presentation on the future of electricity generation.

In October 2009, Jacob started his own consultancy and develops projects in the field of gas engine technology, electricity grid connections, fuel gas quality, emission reduction and energy supply. In the winter season of 2010-2011, he co-authored the book ‘Smart Power Generation’, describing the challenges of a large-scale introduction of renewable electricity sources. He also presents at international conferences and lectures on energy technology at a number of educational institutes.
