Thanks to the help of Jack Powell (past-UCL alumni and HEFA Feedstocks Digital BD Lead at Shell plc), the Ramsay Society invited Ben Taylor (Strategy Manager for the Energy Transition Implementation at Shell plc) to discuss with students the Powering Progress and Net-Zero Strategy developed by Shell, with the goal of reaching Net-Zero emissions across their energy portfolio by 2050.
During this 1-hour open Q&A session, Computer Scientists, Mechanical Engineers, and Chemical Engineers, had the opportunity to discuss with Ben and Jack the challenges arising with the management of Scope 3 emissions, the means through which data analytics can be harnessed and employed towards optimising the energy transition, the importance of a nature-based business strategy (promoting carbon offsetting, alongside the growing importance of carbon credits and trading), and finally the growing trend towards sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) within the UK. This talk harnessed extensive discussions on business strategy and the importance of engineering and data science for the successful implementation of the energy transition and the Shell Power Progress initiative.
