Скачать или смотреть Engineers Australia UK Chapter - Space-Based Solar Power expert panel discussion

With all of the recent discussions around net-zero, and surge pricing in the UK, energy is now front-page news.


We all accept that fossil fuel is not a sustainable form of energy, and renewable energy such as solar and wind have issues - when it is cloudy or calm.


To sustain the energy needs of a county like the UK or Australia, we need a “baseload” technology that can provide a sustained demand for power.


The UK chapter of The Institution of Engineers Australia teamed up with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers recently to look at a potential new form of energy - Space-Based Solar Power.


On February 10, 2022, The Actionable Futurist® Andrew Grill moderated a fascinating discussion between some of the world’s leading space and energy industry experts;


Martin Soltau Co-Chair Space Energy Initiative / Frazer-Nash Consultancy


Dr Alice Bunn CEO Institution of Mechanical Engineers


Sam Adlen Chief Strategy Officer, Satellite Applications Catapult and


Ali Stickings Space Strategy Lead at Frazer-Nash Consultancy


We were also joined by Mark Garnier, MP for Wyre Forest, and also Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Space, and Chair of The Space Energy Initiative Advisory Board.


Nick Wayth Chief Executive at Energy Institute also provided an interesting perspective from the audience.
