`Energy in the Economy: a perspective on the energy transition', a talk by Tom Hutchinson

About the talk

This will be a talk about the fundamental role energy plays in supporting economic activity. It will explore what a sustainable energy economy would entail by framing the 'energy = activity' relationship in the context of the dissipative nature of energy use, types of energy flow, and what this might mean for the prospect of an energy transition away from fossil fuel use.

About Tom Hutchinson

Tom trained as a Chemist at Durham University and subsequently transferred into finance where he has worked as a Chartered Accountant for almost two decades, with a large part of that time within the energy sector. He has a strong personal interest in ecological issues and their interaction with energy and the economy.

Future Talks will include:
