In increasingly uncertain times, our supply of energy affects us all. Jonathan will look at current supply and demand, what is the control and predicted trends, and about the exploration for oil and gas, geothermal, wind and carbon capture.

Global energy supply is moving away from fossil fuels to greener alternatives – what does this mean for us?  Jonathan is Professor of Petroleum Geoscience at the University of Manchester and is deeply involved in this transition.
