Working at the interface of electricity and chemistry.
Plentiful renewable electricity will be used to make clean fuels, chemicals and capture carbon dioxide but the science, engineering and economics to make this work is fiendishly complex. Electrochemistry is the interface between electricity and chemistry, and key to the clean tech at the centre of these challenges and others. I’m developing the next generation of electrochemical technologies and helping others with theirs.
About me
I lead hydrogen technology research at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory. Outside of my work at NPL, I offer technical consultancy to those developing electrochemical tech while exploring the development of technologies for direct air capture and cement production.
My research & services
Consulting
Electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering are hard. If you have a problem I can help or will know someone who can.
Hydrogen
Fuel cells and electrolysers are my day job. Some resources for the research community are hosted on this page.
Cement
Eight percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions are made producing cement. This technology is the next step in the two millennia old business of cement production.
Direct Air Capture
Carbon dioxide needs to be removed from the air. This electrochemical process gets the job done, immediately, with only renewable electricity needed.
