Giving an Invited Lecture at the IUPAC World Chemistry Congress in Den Haag.

Asked a question on the possible misuses of AI models, especially by competitor views and by I’ll-informed policy makers. Models still depend on robust data and often negative results and know-how are not in the public domain.

I just won a book at the IUPAC World Chemistry Congress! Michele and Angela, I will start reading it on my way home 😀

Fingers crossed as we are in a very competitive category ‘Engineering Impact’. Just to be a finalist is a great achievement. We should know by 10pm.

I have to say we are in shock! Thanks to CCUI, AESSEAL, SUSTAIN project, Flue2Chem ….

Britain is world-leading….at making U-turns! Sunak has basically admitted the government got Net Zero policies wrong: and is replacing them with worse, ill-formed policies. Give me strength!

A very short visit to Prague to deliver a Plenary lecture at the World Engineers Convention.

Pitching to Shell Start Up Engine Demo Day. Looking to secure investment and partners. #ccui #useCO2

Congratulations Beena! Well deserved.

12 years the first tiny carbon dioxide capture system was tested at the University of Sheffield we have now delivered our first 1 t/d kit to Holmen, Cumbria. Commissioned over the next couple of days, samples analysis next week. #ccuinternational #Flue2CHEM #universityofsheffield

Then Sunak withdrew funding.

Installation of the FluRefin carbon dioxide refining system almost completed at Holman Iggesund Paper Mill in Cumbria. We have power! Challenging conditions due to impacts of climate change! #Flue2CHEM #CCUInternational #UniversityofSheffield #HolmenIggesund

We now have power!

Very productive Government Ministerial meeting with Lord Callanan at DESNZ.

Amazing week in which we con four business awards for our university spin out company CCU International, including the converted overall UK Small Business of the Year. Great team revolutionising low energy carbon capture. #CCUInternational #UniversityofSheffield

Before CCU International spun out we recorder a video for the SUSTAIN steel project. Less than two years on we are on the verge of a major announcement from CCU International. youtu.be/teNj_MR6z8g?si…

Honoured to be Finalists in the IChemE Global Awards in both the Innovative Product and Start Up categories. icheme.org/training-event…

Just done #LBC with Sheila Fogerty on David Lamy’s speech on Climate Change today and the follow up by Lord Deben. Labour and Conservative unity! This may well be the speech that changes the way we think about climate change and turning hesitation to action!
