WORK HISTORY
Energy and Net Zero Lecturer @Geologica Training
GB
I design and deliver executive-level training courses focused on energy transition, net zero strategy, and the economics and policy of decarbonisation. I’ve worked closely with OMV’s engineering, finance, and sustainability teams to support their net zero transition through in-depth, interactive sessions covering: Global and European energy demand trends to 2050 The economics of renewables (LCOE, PPAs, market sizing) Hydrogen, CCUS, and circular economy strategies European climate policy and investment frameworks Wind, solar, storage, and grid flexibility opportunities Case studies from offshore wind, green hydrogen, and SAFI own all course material under TerraUrsa Ltd and have delivered training across Austria, Romania, and the UK. The sessions include scenario analysis, group exercises on future decarbonisation pathways, and commercial case studies to help energy professionals align corporate strategies with emerging climate policies.Now expanding this model to other organisations in energy, finance, and infrastructure who want sharp, insight-driven support on the business side of climate solutions.

ABOUT BRIAN MATTHEWS
Strategic leader with over 20 years\' experience in the energy, climate, and education sectors. I’m the Founder and Managing Director of TerraUrsa, an independent consultancy focused on decarbonisation, technical leadership, and organisational development. I work across nuclear, renewables, and gas networks, helping companies transition to Net Zero while improving performance, culture, and capability.I’ve advised global energy companies (EDF, OMV), chaired innovation and governance groups (Northern Gas Networks ISG), and led technical leadership development at high-performing power stations. I also provide strategic insights on the nuclear investment landscape to financial institutions, including Jefferies and JP Morgan, helping shape their understanding of market risks, regulatory frameworks, and project viability.My background includes operational leadership in nuclear, development of renewable O&M excellence standards, and public engagement through climate assemblies and education. I also lecture on clean energy transition topics at universities including Durham, Teesside, and Coventry.Alongside this, I’m an award-winning conservation photographer. My long-term project exploring climate and biodiversity change around the UK coasts and islands will soon feature in a national school education initiative.If your organisation needs- Strategy and leadership support for complex energy transitions- Help embedding operational focus and decision-making in technical teams- Public engagement and climate education programmes- Advisory board input, mentoring, or stakeholder scrutiny…then let’s talk. I’m always open to partnerships that aim to accelerate meaningful climate action and leadership impact.
