Darrelle Colleran

Darrelle Colleran joined the ECF in March 2022 and now works as an associate on embodied carbon in the Buildings team. She is Irish, is based in Brussels and has an MSc in Environmental Policy from the University of Dublin.

Before joining the ECF, Darrelle worked as a consultant at Logos Public Affairs (during which she monitored the EU Green Deal) and Oxfam Ireland. As an Associate for the Buildings Programme, Darrelle leads the work on embodied carbon where she focuses on tackling emissions from buildings across the whole lifecycle. She also provides general support to the programme, including joint coordination of the Heating Hub network.

In her spare time, she likes to play the piano and violin, and enjoys singing. You can talk to her in English and Irish – if you’re patient enough, you can also test her French and Italian language skills.
