Yves Matson is a seasoned water strategy expert with over two decades of experience at the intersection of sustainable resource development, industrial water treatment, and project delivery. As Director of Strategic Development at Integrated Sustainability, Yves brings a systems-level perspective to water sourcing and treatment challenges, with a strong emphasis on decarbonization pathways, circular economy solutions, and emissions reduction.
His deep understanding of integrated water management—spanning surface water, groundwater, produced water, and industrial effluents—positions him as a key enabler in the hydrogen economy, where reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally sound water supply is critical. Yves has led the conceptualization and deployment of advanced water reuse and treatment systems, including zero liquid discharge (ZLD) technologies and thermal distillation using waste heat, enabling cleaner hydrogen production and reduced freshwater dependency.
Yves is an advocate for aligning infrastructure innovation with environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance. His work supports hydrogen producers in meeting stringent ESG targets while unlocking new opportunities in water-stressed and disposal-constrained regions.
