It’s been amazing to be in Singapore at #ISIE2025 conference presenting new research linking together ongoing work on net zero pathways and critical minerals. Concerns over economic and energy resilience offer new arguments for government action to reduce energy demand to help meet net zero goals

Great to be at the #csapconference2025 today speaking on the panel about the role of critical minerals for decarbonisation. Attempting to bridge the gap between understanding UK demand and mineral extraction in the global south

Two weeks ago I submitted my PhD thesis, the culmination of almost 4 years of research. It looks at the development of net zero pathways in the UKand how politics constrains the type of futures considered legitimate

The main contributions and arguments are set out in the abstract
