I conduct analysis of emerging and maturing clean energy technologies (namely blue/green hydrogen, renewable energies, and electric vehicles) and estimate the potential impact to a) fossil fuel demand, b) critical mineral demand, and c) greenhouse gas emissions. Bespoke projects include a) demand forecasting regarding the critical minerals required for the green energy transition, b) global hydrogen trade flows (2030), and c) tracking low carbon investments of industrial gas manufacturers. ~My research can be found here (paywall) - https://www.energyintel.com/energy-transition-research/?f1=00000178-ecd9-da34-a57f-fedb8e560001
