Hydrogen for heating is a deeply uncertain and questionable technology approach. Delaying progress on electrification and energy efficiency before we know what and how hydrogen can deliver represents a high

The idea that because 'town gas' contained a high level of hydrogen (H₂) means that converting the gas grid to 100% hydrogen will be easy is clearly wrong (yet it's

Here’s what I don’t get about these attacks on ‘net zero’: what’s the alternative plan? Not ‘listen to the science’ or ‘real zero’, but an actual plan that’s better than

These days I try to focus my #energytwitter contributions on the huge opportunity of making Australia a #renewable superpower. But given the focus on CCS this week, I can't stop

There's been lots of outraged response to the 'let the pensioners die' crowd on moral grounds, but much less on why their cost-benefit analyses are so flawed on their own

So the UK has under 18 months to deliver one of the most complex and important diplomatic events in human history (this is not hyperbole) against the backdrop of a
