One particular part of this is the wider implementation of hydrogen .
“ I think we are at a point where we see certain segments of the market realise that operating at current gas prices is unsustainable and , if they haven ’ t already , I expect they will also then realise that hydrogen can solve some of these headaches so now is the time to be investing in such alternative energy sources to ensure energy and pricing security . We aren ’ t in a period of ‘ wait and see ’ – it ’ s time to act now , both for the climate and for the economy ,” Delamain says .
With the extended effort to develop sustainably comes the empowerment of individuals – and Delamain explains what this means to him and the organisation . “ It ’ s a joy seeing people grow and develop , and the team expand . Patrick Wylie joined us two years ago from the University of Edinburgh and he ’ s starting to become a force in the office . We ’ ve just taken on a general counsel and a PhD who has focused on hydrogen technology in the past four years , and our customer list is growing . We all have different insights and experiences – people interest me and we learn from them .” sustainabilitymag . com 19
