Excited to be delivering a keynote lecture on "Hydrogen - From Aspiration to Reality" today at MEECON (Middle East Energy Conference).
#knowledetransfer to sectors outside of academia is of vital importance to get the #hydrogen economy up and running

Not the way forward guys. This will mark the beginning of the systematic dismantlement and backtracking of net zero promises and policies from our government
The UK carbon market is the cornerstone of net zero - way more important than Ulez or Rosebank
But the government has quietly undermined it, and it is now ~40% below the EU carbon price
The result? More fossil fuels and green projects harder to fund

As @NationalGridESO asks reserve coal units to warm again, here's a remarkable @OctopusEnergy chart showing effectiveness of the "demand flex service"
It says just 400k customers collectively shifted 200MWh of electricity (ie 200MW plant not needed)
What if everyone took part?

480 odd hours later, I have nearly completed campaign 2. What a journey and fantasium of imagination, colour and play! Thanks @CriticalRole for making the world just a little bit better than you found it x

A replication of part of an earlier experiment bolsters the reports of a contested study

Assuming the only valves for nordstream are at each end of the 1200km pipeline, that these were shut off and internal temperature is ~5C. I estimate the total amount of methane released is going to be ~1.5-1.7 Mega tonnes... significant for a single event.

Not only does this generate bedlam for Europe's energy security but this is a major environmental disaster,the scale of methane being released into the atmosphere is going to be damaging to climate goals. Can we stop bickering & focus on saving the planet tinyurl.com/2wd6bh2j
The recklessness of this government will be felt for decades.I did not vote for them, nobody did,they do not speak for the people & sit by default.I call upon our new sovereign to use his royal prerogative and dissolve these fools before it's too late #notmygovernment #greenking

I cannot believe this is a real question in a legitimate UK Government survey. Even ignoring the typos etc: this would fail KS3 statistics because even 12 year olds know those are some leading responses. gov.uk/government/consultati…

Tragic news
The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)
Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

Today's #NetZeroWeek focus is #hydrogen.
In this video, researchers @ProfValeskaTing, @nunobimbo and @mitianzhang discuss how they use ISIS in their research towards better #HydrogenStorage materials: youtu.be/PJezSfMcfdY
