In this episode, Robert sits down with Yasmin Ali, a chemical engineer, dedicated to developing renewable energy projects. Having worked in coal and gas fired power stations, oil and gas, district heating systems, and energy innovation, Yasmin has transitioned away from fossil fuels into more sustainable energy systems and is currently involved in setting up green hydrogen projects in the UK.
She recently published her book Power Up, a science book about global energy which looks at where we get energy from, how it is moved and used around the world and why we need to understand the whole system if we want to transition towards a clean, green future.

0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Charged |
0:10.0 | Podcast. The Energy Transition, those two words really easy to say, really easy, energy |
0:16.8 | transition. We're going to move away from burning fossil fuels. Yes, we |
0:21.7 | probably are, but I don't think it's easy. In fact, it's mind-bogglingly complicated. It's a challenge of |
0:28.6 | gargantuan proportions. It is just unimaginable how we're going to do it and yet we kind of really do need to do it and I've had a very interesting conversation on this very subject from someone that I met at our Everything Electric show in London a few weeks ago. |
0:47.0 | Yasmin Ali. This is her book Power Up and she has worked in the oil and gas industry for many years and she has some very interesting insights into that interest into that industry and she now works in a completely different field which she will explain. |

1:07.6 | This book is a real, I really recommend it. |
1:09.9 | If you're interested in the topic at all, it's a very easily, it's a very easy book to read, |

1:48.5 | a life and all those sort of things and a really a really interesting woman really |
1:51.6 | important topics she deals with. |
1:54.3 | But this book is really, really special, really impressed with it, and just dealing with this incredibly |
2:00.0 | complex topic that we in effect cover on the fully charged show and the |
2:04.3 | everything electric show but maybe not with quite this much a knowledgeable focus so |
2:09.5 | that's I'm really pleased that she came on the show. So I won't muffle on about it anymore. |
