Waste, Cities and Energy Security: Reflections on Sustainable Infrastructure in India
Thoughts following the publication of a white paper examining sustainable municipal waste management and anaerobic digestion in India. Exploring the relationship between waste, energy resilience, urbanisation and environmental sustainability and why biogas infrastructure may become increasingly important in rapidly developing economies.
Energy, Methane and Sustainable Infrastructure: UK–Rwanda Trade and Investment Forum
Reflections following the UK–Rwanda Trade and Investment Forum 2014 examining the role of methane-to-power, biogas and landfill gas infrastructure in Rwanda’s long-term development. Exploring how energy generation, sanitation, emissions reduction and urban resilience are increasingly interconnected across rapidly developing economies.
Waste, Energy, and the Politics of Deployment: Early Lessons from the UK's Transition Away from Landfill
The technology worked. The regulatory and political environment did not move with it. An early lesson in how infrastructure deployment is shaped as much by policy as by engineering.
From the Lab to the Field: An Early Lesson in the Limits of Novel Technology
My route into energy and infrastructure was not a straight line. A postgraduate research project in environmental technology and a failed attempt to commercialise a promising water treatment innovation taught me something about the distance between a working prototype and a deployed system that I have returned to many times since. It is a lesson that still applies today, as the energy sector debates which emerging technologies will ultimately power AI infrastructure at scale.
