White papersIdentifying and implementing solutions for the decarbonisation revolution
Revolutions take time. Whether it’s political upheavals, such as the French revolution in the late-19th century or the Bolshevik version in Russia two generations later, or societal transformation, such as the industrial revolution in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the pace of change can seem extremely quick but, in reality, such events are years and lifetimes in the making.

White papersUnderstanding and responding to the human cost of the green energy transition
As the world moves towards a low-carbon economy it will require a massive increase in the production of so-called transition minerals. These lie at the heart of an expected surge in demand for clean energy technologies.

White papersCould green hydrogen be the hero of net zero?
Green hydrogen has been put at the centre of many net-zero initiatives for good reason. Also known, on account of its versatility, as the Swiss army knife of long-term decarbonisation, it can provide turnkey solutions for those industries where greenhouse gas emissions are harder to suppress – solutions which can be seen as critical if climate goals are to be met. Edward Lees and Ulrik Fugmann explain.
