    Please provide your short bio reflecting on your academic, professional and practical background

    Alan is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce. He is a Chartered Engineer and Member of the UK Energy Institute and Entrepreneurial Scotland. 

     

    Alan founded International Renewable Energy Infrastructure Consultancy Pure energy (REGen) Limited to add value to Renewable Energy and Circular Economy related project developments, now operating internationally. 

    Pure energy (REGen) Ltd, is a Consultancy approved by the EU and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), London, UK: Green Economy Transition (GET) Project Preparation and Implementation Framework as well as the European Union EA-SME as approved Renewable Energy Consultant. 

     

    Pure energy is also currently involved in Technology Advisory Roles, for both Financial Institutions and Government Energy Departments, with active projects ongoing in the Arabian Gulf Region, focused on developing sustainable project infrastructure resources and best value technology applications, through market segment analysis and commercial value proposition, supporting the transition to sustainable development growth within the Region.

     

    Pure Energy (Regen) Limited has demonstrated proven experience in addressing the intersection of gender and climate change through a range of impactful initiatives. The team integrates gender-sensitive approaches in energy projects, ensuring that women and marginalized groups are not only protected from the adverse effects of climate change but also empowered to lead in climate action.

    We have actively engaged with local communities, conducting workshops and supported “Equate Scotland” low carbon up-skilling program training to build resilience and promote equal access to renewable energy solutions. Through these efforts, we focus on amplifying women’s voices in energy decision-making, especially in areas where traditional energy access is limited.

    In addition, we collaborate with international organizations to develop and implement policies that promote gender equality in the context of climate change and energy transition. Our projects aim to bridge the gender gap in energy access and contribute to climate change mitigation, ensuring that both men and women benefit equally from sustainable energy solutions.

    We are committed to fostering an inclusive, gender-responsive approach that advances both sustainable energy and climate resilience for all.

    Alan was also selected to participate in the UK Royal Academy of Engineering “Visiting Engineers Scheme – Japan”, spending one year seconded to Mitsui & Co, based in Tokyo, Okayama and Hong Kong.
