The Future of Energy

John Armstrong is an engineer whose career has taken him to the extremes of the energy industry, giving him a first-hand view of the energy roller-coaster. He began his career building oil refineries before transitioning to work in both fossil and renewable energy generation. John lives in Bath, England, with his wife and two children.

The Future of Energy is written in a way that anyone interested in learning more about energy can understand it. The book, which was substantially updated in 2021 to reflect the impact of Covid-19 on the world of energy, walks the reader through a future for energy generation, transportation, and use. The book is concise and comprehensive, bringing together energy discussion and thoughts on a variety of topics that form the fulcrum of the challenges ahead of us, such as climate change, hydrogen, heat, sustainability, and renewable energy. The Future of Energy, written to spark ideas, discussion, and debate, immerses the reader in the future challenges and opportunities of this hugely exciting and important field.

There is a wealth of information available on the 'energy transition,' with competing technologies and theories vying for dominance. It is all too easy to believe that there is a simple solution or "silver bullet" to the enormous challenges we face. The inevitable patchwork of future technologies, rather than a single simple solution, makes it significantly more complicated. There is no perfect solution to the challenges we face, but most will shape how we use energy over the next decade and beyond.
