Digihost (DGHI) has appointed Luke Marchiori as its Chief Renewable Energy Officer to lead its DigiGreen initiative.

Marchiori will be based out of New York and will focus on displacing the company’s traditional energy supply with sustainable alternatives.

He currently sits on the Board of the Clean Communities of Western New York, an advocacy group promoting non-petroleum transportation fuels, emphasizing electric vehicles along with compressed natural gas for fleet vehicles.

He is also a member of the New York Solar Energy Industries Association, a trade association advocating for increased use of solar power, such as community solar in New York State.

In addition to his role at Digihost, Marchiori will continue as Executive Vice President of EnergyMark, a regional supplier of electricity, natural gas, renewable energy and power project developments.

Marchiori holds a Bachelor’s degree in finance and economics and an MBA from St. Bonaventure University.

Michel Amar, Digihost’s CEO, commented,

“We are very pleased to welcome Luke to Digihost’s senior management team, and we look forward to benefitting from his extensive experience in the cleantech and renewable energy sector to achieve the objectives of our DigiGreen initiative.

Over 90 per cent of the energy consumed in the company’s Bitcoin mining operations is from sources that create zero carbon emissions and more than 50 per cent of the energy consumed by the company is generated from renewable sources. The addition of Luke to our team will help us to work towards further reducing our already very low carbon footprint.”

Digihost Technology is a growth-oriented blockchain technology company primarily focused on Bitcoin mining.

Digihost (DGHI) is up by 6.63 per cent and is currently trading at $2.09 per share as of 9:38 am ET.
