Fuellers Advantage - A series of technical meetings, held jointly by the Worshipful Company of Fuellers with the Science Circle of the National Liberal Club

The next Fueller’s Advantage is being held on Wednesday 25th October at the National Liberal Club when Squadron Leader Greg Curtis of the RAF's Air Fuels & Sustainable Energy Association will speak on "The Energy Transition in the Defence Domain: Fast Follower to First Mover".  All Fuellers and their guests are invited to attend for what should be an interesting and informative evening.

SUMMARY OF PRESENTATION
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the single Services have set themselves a significant challenge in achieving their sustainability and emission targets. For many years the MOD has branded itself a Fast Follower for technology and services adoption, however waiting for proven options to become available from the private sector for use in the military domain has considerably restrained the Energy transition across all 3 services. Squadron Leader Greg Curtis MSc RAF, Affiliates’ Liaison for the Air Fuels and Sustainable Energy Association, explores the organisational and cultural changes being introduced to accelerate the MOD’s evolution to a First Mover, an entity that engages faster, approves readily, and drives the nation’s military estates and assets towards Net Zero with more assurance.
