Can design take us to unexpected places?

In this, seventh episode of Silent Designers, this month’s guest, Yasmin Ali, explores the theme of Net Zero and Sustainable Technologies, discusses the unexpected ways in which hydrogen could decarbonise our world, and reveals the most effective deployments of hydrogen happening in industry today.

Award-winning chartered engineer, Yasmin Ali, is a Hydrogen Project Development Manager at RWE—a leading supplier of renewables worldwide. She’s also the author of the book Power Up, which looks at global energy systems and the energy transition.

Join us as Yasmin explains the impact of design on her work and her interpretation of the word ‘design’ and what it means to her.

“For many people, the word ‘design’ conjures up images of fashion or graphic design. I think of it more as a thinking process to come up with a way of solving a problem or achieving something that hasn’t been done before.” - Yasmin Ali, Hydrogen Project Development Manager at RWE

Listen as Yasmin:

• Explores the importance of habit change in the adoption of hydrogen as a renewable energy
• Explains how she applies design thinking to enhance her working relationships and communications
• Reveals why her love of the energy sector and of writing resulted in the publication of Power Up

“It’s interesting to see what happens when you think about design differently and incorporate design thinking to creative problem solving.” - Yasmin Ali, Hydrogen Project Development Manager at RWE
