Dr Paul Balcombe
Dr Paul Balcombe is the founder and CEO of Emission Insights, a chemical engineer by trade and committed to working with industry to devise emission reduction solutions. He has a varied background as both a process engineer designing chemical plants in industry, and an academic researcher. He is also a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering and Renewable Energy at Queen Mary University of London, where his research focuses on better understanding and reducing methane emissions, and decarbonising gaseous energy supply chains. Paul uses a combination of direct site measurements and energy/emissions systems modelling to help industry to create a better understanding of emissions and to develop cost-effective emission mitigation strategies.

Luke Dubey
Luke is a consultant at Emission Insights and also currently a PhD candidate a Queen Mary University of London. Luke has a BSc in Physics and an MSc in environmental technology, and his PhD involves reducing methane and greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector, focusing both on direct emissions measurement as well as modelling using innovative big data integration (e.g. combining different satellite data to improve emission estimates). Before his PhD, Luke was part of the methane group in the Sustainable Gas Institute at Imperial College London. He has published several papers on the use of satellites for measurement of oil and gas methane emissions, as well as examining how to reconcile top down and bottom up measurement technologies.
