Hydrogen and Wind - A perfect match?

Wind energy is highly variable, but a claim frequently made is that it is possible to turn a large wind turbine into a power source as reliable as a conventional power station by combining it with hydrogen generation. In this talk, we will consider if this is really possible and explain the compromises needed if we are to live in a world powered only by wind.

Pathways to the Decarbonisation in Aviation

It is presently difficult to see how aviation will become completely de-carbonised on any sort of near-term timescale. However and as is often the case in engineering, there are likely to be a progression of small technology steps forward which will eventually realise a valuable overall benefit. Technologies yet to be identified are also likely to contribute to this.
