Currently he is running a Trans-European Transport Network study on a roadmap for LNG infrastructure rollout across Europe for the HGV sector.

Venn has recently been involved in developing Abu Dhabi’s low emissions zone strategy, developing the latest Government Buying Standards and modelling the impacts of this on CO2 emissions and air quality.
