This week’s ship.energy podcast guest is Michael Barnard and in conversation with Mark Williams he discusses his work projecting scenarios for decarbonisation 40-80 years into the future and his recent publications around maritime decarbonisation.

Whether it's refuelling aviation, grid storage, vehicle-to-grid, or hydrogen demand, his work is based on the fundamentals of physics, economics and human nature, and informed by the decarbonisation requirements and innovations of multiple domains. His leadership positions in North America, Asia and Latin America enhance his global point of view.

Michael publishes regularly in Forbes, CleanTechnica and other outlets on decarbonisation, business and policy. He is host of the podcast Redefining Energy - Tech, a channel within the award-winning Redefining Energy ecosystem that European investment bankers Laurent Segalen and Gerard Reid created.

His research has been published in books and peer-reviewed journals. He is regularly invited to speak at academic, technical and business conferences as well as corporate events.
