 The Beyond Brunel podcast is back for its third season!
Beyond Brunel, the podcast from South West Infrastructure Partnership (SWIP) and ICE South West, is back with the launch of its highly anticipated Season 3. Dedicated to exploring the challenges and innovations in creating and maintaining sustainable infrastructure, the podcast promises a deep dive into the pressing issues facing the South West as it strives to achieve its net zero targets by 2050. In Season 3, host Christopher Ackland, civil engineer and Vice Chair of the ICE South West Regional Committee, covers a myriad topics with prominent industry leaders, sparking discussions that are essential for shaping the region's sustainable future. Season 3 aims to continue its legacy of insightful conversations and reach more interested and impacted listeners. Famous engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel once shaped the South West, creating some of the region’s most iconic and enduring infrastructure. But the podcast asks what kind of infrastructure innovation does the region need today to respond to the climate crisis, demographic changes and new social behaviours? Beyond Brunel explores the role of infrastructure and civil engineering in the South West’s ongoing journey to decarbonisation, while also improving people’s lives, helping the region become more productive and protecting the environment. Commissioned and devised by South West Infrastructure Partnership (SWIP) supported by ICE South West.

Series 1 accompanied the South West Vision 2050 report, which uses the podcast conversations as a basis for examining what the region needs to do to achieve an effective, forward-facing infrastructure system.

      S3 Ep5: Hydrogen
      Mar 11 2025
      According to the World Economic Forum, “Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe… And, if generated using renewables, it can be a clean alternative to burning fossil fuels”, so why have we been reluctant to develop and use it as a sustainable energy alternative?

      In this episode of Beyond Brunel, presenter Christopher Ackland is joined by David Eccles, Director of Hydrogen South West, and Steph Jary, Deputy Director of Western Gateway, to discuss whether hydrogen has the potential to be a key player in the future of infrastructure development in the South West. Together, they explore the potential of hydrogen technology, its challenges, and the opportunities it presents for our region.
