Tom Gill
Tom has been writing for The Eco Experts for nearly five years an in that time, he has calculated the carbon footprint of the Roman Empire, profiled the world’s largest solar farms, and investigated what a 100% renewable UK would look like.
He has a particular interest in the global energy market and how it works, including the future of hydrogen, and Cornwall’s growing lithium industry.
Tom also regularly attends Grand Designs Live as a Green Living Expert, where he provides expert solar panel advice to members of the public.
He frequently focuses on niche environmental topics such as the nurdle problem, clever ways to undo the effects of climate change, and whether sand batteries could store enough energy for clean heating in the winter.
If there’s an environmental niche to be covered, it’s a safe bet Tom’s already thinking of how to write about it.
