Energy expert Prof Mohamed Pourkashanian believes that today’s younger people are set to take the lead in a green revolution – one that could be powered by ‘clean’ hydrogen
“I have learned something good from the Covid-19 lockdown,” says Prof Mohamed Pourkashanian. “I used to travel maybe twice a month to meetings abroad, and once or twice to meetings around the UK – but I have realised that 80% of what I did there, I can do online. That reduced need to travel will have an impact in terms of carbon reduction.”
Currently the head of University Energy Research at the University of Sheffield, in his 35 years working in the field, Pourkashanian has contributed to hundreds of papers on subjects including solar power, grid-scale batteries and carbon capture.
