Excited to be at another Oxford energy day on the timely theme of energy and data!

Tired of manually listing your co-authored papers for funding apps or internal admin? I built a semi-automated workflow using Scopus + BibTeX + LaTeX to generate a clean, numbered PDF. Try it here 👉 github.com/davidhowey/l...

Do you have a Hyundai Ioniq (2016-21)? I've got roof bars available to give away (collect from Oxford, UK) - perhaps for a small charity donation. YKS6 Yakima flush bars S6, 100cm x2, with YKK1144 smartfoot fitting kits. message me if interested.

Agreed, certainly in many countries here in Europe the issue is no longer range - the charging infrastructure is pretty good. 200-300 miles and the ability to charge at 150+ kW should be fine for most people IMO. By the way, this just happened in the UK octopus.energy/press/octopu...

Exactly as I said after the blackout: voltage regulation was issue, not a lack of spinning inertia, as so many quickly speculated (or asserted). It was an off peak spring day, plenty of cheap solar available, and the grid operator cut it too close, failed to commit sufficient voltage regulation.🔌💡

NEW SHIFT KEY WHAT SPAIN’S BLACKOUT TELLS US ABOUT THE MODERN POWER GRID This is a *master class* from my cohost @jessedjenkins.com on how the lights stay on — and how operators manage supply, demand, voltage, and frequency to keep the world’s biggest machine humming. heatmap.news/podcast/shif...

We must stop focusing hydrogen research and investment into dead-ends. EVs out-sell fuel cell cars 1000:1. Find out what's hot and what's not as the famous @mliebreich.bsky.social Hydrogen Ladder enters the peer-reviewed literature. New paper in Nature Reviews: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Applications for hydrogen, qualitatively ranked in terms of competitiveness against alternatives.

a) The main applications for hydrogen across all sectors are grouped according to their current and potential future economic advantage against alternatives. Ranking derived from Liebreich's ‘Hydrogen Ladder’ and Espacito's ‘Hydrogen Policy’s Narrow Path’ report.

b) c) d) Give the annual sales of hydrogen, alternative and incumbent technologies in three example applications.

This (and getting solar panels, and a general desire to move towards not having any gas at all) is why we ripped out the gas hob and switched to induction. Induction is so, so much better (and easier to clean).

awesome! is this in London? or in the US? if you're in the UK at all, come and visit us in Oxford. I'm also on sabbatical (until October) woop! :)

Ginormous funding proposal submitted. I'm so tired of looking at a computer screen and using words like "significantly", "breakthrough", "unique" and "fundamental". Time for a beer... happy weekend y'all!

What a joy it was to visit my alma mater last week, beautiful Queens' College in Cambridge, and to be so warmly welcomed by the excellent @davidcebon.bsky.social (who *cough* taught me as an undergrad 😀). Looking forward to the next trip!

I mean, this is great. Although I was also feeling very virtuous for doing more 'in real life' and less on the other platform.

hallo bluesky! I've had this account for a while but been fairly dormant. Great to see so many friends and colleagues on here now. I'll try and hang out here a bit more often, and spout random thoughts about clean energy, music, running, etc. etc.
