Chris Goodall – Public Speaking

Chris has spoken at most of the major book festivals plus the Science Museum, the House of Commons & British Library and numerous commercial organisations.

Previously, Chris Goodall has spoken to groups as diverse as a Middle Eastern national oil company, the renewables subsidiary of an international energy company, one of the world’s largest wine companies, the Research Council of Norway, a Dutch supplier of equipment to the offshore oil industry, a university in Germany, a global audit and consulting company and a large sovereign wealth fund.

Chris Goodall both talks and writes about the many options the world can use to move away from fossil fuels, covering energy generation and efficiency both from technical and policy perspectives.

The aim is to provide interesting new ideas, firmly based on quantitative analysis, for both specialist and general audiences communicating with energy, enthusiasm and clarity.
This includes a degree of general science and technology but at a level easily understood by everybody.

The premise of Chris’s talks are from the perspective that it is overwhelmingly important that global decarbonisation is rapid and, second, that the existing companies are well-placed to profitably assist in this transition.

Chris covers this topic in his book ‘The Green Guide For Business

Chris Goodall Talk subjects

Energy Technologies, Renewable Energy, Carbon Reduction, Sustainability, Climate Change

A particular area of specialisation is the production and use of hydrogen. For example, how will green hydrogen be made? Which electrolyser technologies will dominate? How will hydrogen be stored and transported? Which industries can be easily converted to H2? How much of the gas will be required? Can the world decarbonise almost exclusively by using renewable electricity and green hydrogen?

Previously, Chris has written on hydrogen for CLSA, the Hong Kong-based investment bank.

Chris Goodall – sustainability and business

Chris debunks the idea that a low-carbon world is the responsibility of governments, legislators and pressure groups.
Business and technology is now the prime force pushing the speed of decarbonisation.
It is a misnomer that governments and international organisations will format the fight against climate change. Over the past year, and increasing number of commercial organisations have taken it upon themselves to become the pioneers in the battle to reduce emissions.

Chris is enthralled by communicating ideas in his talks that offer the world a better and lower carbon future with a commercial aspect.
