William Nuttall is a technology and policy specialist with particular expertise in energy systems. He brings an expert technical perspective to complex policy problems, and is a research leader with professional connections in academia, government, learned societies, international organisations and industry. Nuttall is a Professor of Energy at The Open University, based in Milton Keynes, UK. He is also a fellow of Hughes Hall, a college of Cambridge University.Adetokunboh Bakenne is an experienced engineering researcher and consultant. He obtained his PhD from the University of Manchester,where he investigated the mechanical properties of engineering materials used in the energy industries. He then shifted his focus to matters of energy technology and policy with his move to The Open University, where he worked as a research fellow on the future of the hydrogen economy. Bakenne has extensive consultancy experience in matters concerning commercial technology assessment andengineering risk assessment in a range of sectors.
