Shini Somara: Why is engineering for you? Ayo Sokale: I lived part of my childhood in a different country where I saw infrastructure making things better To me engineering was almost 'Godlike' in its power to transform people's lives. I want to be a person who can help people in such an impactful way.

IN JULY, the world watched as record levels of rain fell on parts of Germany and Belgium, causing widespread flooding. More than 200 people died after rivers burst their banks, many homes and livelihoods were destroyed, and the long-term economic impacts are expected to run into many billions of euros.

WHEN DELEGATES AT COP26 sit down to eat, they'd better choose carefully. Back in Poland in 2018, some 30,000 attendees munched their way through a meat- and dairy-laden menu. Every plate of fried beef, pork and burgers consumed in Katowice at COP24 helped contribute several thousand tonnes of greenhouse gases over the 12-day conference, campaigners say

"HYDROGEN IS JUST a means of storing solar energy," says Marco Alverà, "it's as simple as that." It's not as versatile as electricity, probably won't have the same sort of business-to- consumer profile that electricity has, and will certainly be one of those technologies that operates 'behind the curtain'. When it comes to how it will heat our homes, Alverà thinks that "the jury is still out on that". But what he does know is that as the price of solar energy decreases, hydrogen will - or should - play a bigger part in how we power the world with clean energy.
