Dr Matthew Hannon opens the GAS Insights Programme

18/8/2020

 
By David Sheridan
​Last Thursday (13/08/20) Green Angel Syndicate launched its Insights Programme, a series of talks designed and promoted by the GAS Members for the Members that will broaden our knowledge and insight into the issues raised by entrepreneurial investment into the fight against climate change and global warming.

​Our opening speaker was Dr Matthew Hannon, Senior Lecturer and Director of Research at the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, attached to the University of Strathclyde Business School. Dr Hannon leads UK thought on the links between the energy transition we know needs to happen, the innovation that is required if it is to happen and the entrepreneurialism that is essential to bringing these innovations to life.  In other words, Matt is one of the world experts on the very things that Green Angel Syndicate is striving to achieve.

Towards zero carbon heating: keeping our options open

17/5/2019

 
Heating accounts for half of energy consumption globally, and over a quarter of total CO2 emissions – so decarbonising heat must be an urgent priority.
​
However, this is a complex, multifaceted, thorny issue – with no single one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a variety of possible technologies which are both competitive and complementary; and the real-life impacts of the transition to zero carbon heating will be significant, in terms both of investments required and of disruption at customers’ premises.

How will Demand Side Response and Flexibility Trading enable a Clean Energy future?

4/10/2018

 
Picture
The contribution from wind and solar to power generation will only accelerate as their costs continue to fall and the world needs zero-carbon electricity – but these renewables come with some specific challenges: intermittency and inflexibility.
​
Likewise, transportation needs to ‘decarbonise’, and the adoption of electric vehicles will accelerate – but how will the resulting increase in electricity demand be managed by utilities?
​

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The content of this webpage should not be construed as financial advice. Any decision to invest should be made only on the basis of the relevant documentation for each investment. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. The value of an investment may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Investments in small unquoted companies carry an above-average level of risk. These investments are highly illiquid and as such, there may not be a readily available market to sell such an investment. Green Angel Syndicate does not provide specific individual advice on the suitability of investments with regard to a potential investor's individual circumstances, risk tolerance or investment objectives and investors should seek independent financial advice if they are in any doubt whether a product is suitable for them.
