Speaker: Prof. Kevin Kendall (Birmingham University, School of Chemical Engineering) Professor Kevin Kendall has been researching hydrogen and fuel cells for 30 years. He was responsible for the first hydrogen filling station in England, which has fuelled hydrogen vehicles running on the Birmingham University campus since 2008. But what is the full potential of hydrogen as a transport fuel? When can we expect affordable mass production of fuel cell vehicles to occur? How can large quantities of hydrogen be produced cleanly? Prof. Kendall will address these issues and take questions from the floor.

Shale Gas and the Road Fuel Market:
Can Compressed Natural Gas reduce oil dependence in UK transport? Speaker: John Baldwin, (Managing Director, CNG Services) DECC forecasts that Britain will be importing 1 million barrels of oil a day in 2020, primarily for use in road transport. At $150 a barrel, this translates to $3 billion a month spent on imported oil. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is already used as a road transport fuel in many countries. To what extent could increased use of CNG help reduce oil consumption in the UK? What impact does the shale gas revolution have on this? John Baldwin (Managing Director, CNG Services) will explain why he thinks that shale gas and CNG for road transport will reduce UK oil dependency and carbon emissions, as well as support growth in renewables. |

Speaker: Dr Simon Roberts (ARUP, Associate Director of Foresight, Innovation and Incubator Group)
Download the presentation Dr Roberts’ speaks about his use of the innovative 4see modelling framework, which combines socio, economic and energy aspects of a country in order to formulate physically consistent scenarios 20 years or more into the future. He presents his latest research findings relating to transport and oil supply, and puts forward proactive steps the UK could take to reduce its oil dependency. The 4see methodology draws on analysis of past Gross Domestic Product and other data to identify and explore the impact of various investment choices. A 4see model is data-driven using official statistics, bringing together economic activity, capital stocks, employment, energy, travel and balance of payments. The model is good for taking onboard trends, handling systemic interactions between sectors and identifying "the big stuff that makes a difference". |
