– from Hydrocarbon Processing's Europe Editor When I went off at this tangent into refining and fuels, my Goldsmiths Alumni buddies rolled their eyeballs and set their own sights on shift work at the London broadsheets and media channels. But 10 years on what an amazing experience it is turning out to be. Cutting my teeth in energy, fuels and the environment for a decade covering Europe's epic 'Clean Air Act', has been a great preparation for the industrial journalism assignment of the century. The fuels industry I write about is about to re-invent itself – to undergo change that most of those I talk with yet can't quite yet appreciate. I've learned these last ten years to admire the engineer's focus on solving problems, but also to pan back to reveal the helicopter view of the marketplace or policy environment of this crucial industry. Business journalism has a vital role to play now as the Third Estate of the monumental project to rebuild the world's energy industry on a sustainable, climate-safe foundation. These articles to the left are magazine columns, so they're opinionated. Nevertheless that opinion's been tested against readers, interviewees and conferences I've chaired and organised since 1997. For the leading authority on technology in fuels and processing, it's hard to find a better source than the magazine in which this column runs – Hydrocarbon Processing magazine. | ||||||||||
