Deeply concerned about the environment and wildlife, Matthew felt compelled to act. This led him to Newcastle University in 1986, where he initially explored various fields before setting his professional sights on the construction industry. However, his passion for the environment never waned, and in 2000, he transitioned into the renewable and environmental sector. Matthew became part of a team at TNEI, a consultancy business focused on innovative solutions for environmental issues, where he has since been making significant strides in contributing to a greener planet.Matthew Lumsden Links:Website: https://connected-energy.co.ukTwitter: https://x.com/connected_energYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@connectedenergyltd3916LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewlumsdenEpisode Keywords: Matthew Lumsden, Connected Energy, second life batteries, energy storage systems, EV charging infrastructure, renewable energy, electrification, battery degradation, grid flexibility services, commercial vehicle batteries, personal vehicle batteries, ports and harbours, clSupport the showIf you enjoyed this episode of Electric Evolution, please take a moment to leave us a review on your favourite podcast platform.
