We interview the CEO of INEOSGrenadier Lynn Calder. 'Politicians need to get real about the green transition,' she tells ColinOverland ⛽️ ⚡️ 💦
► EV, hydrogen, ICE engines: a balancing act
‘I think all the automotive manufacturers are fully on board with decarbonising and finding the solution,’ Calder said. ‘We as an industry have some of the best brains on the planet. We are going to solve this. But a) we need time and b) we need to be open and innovating constantly, not saying “This is the one we pick and we go down that road”.’
‘What does failure mean? It means we don’t hit the targets on time. But failure also means we might hit the targets on time, but if everyone is fighting for the same raw materials in the world, it’s going to make it extremely expensive, and I fear that politicians are not quite understanding the gravity of what we have to achieve in such a short space of time. We might pretty much price consumers out of the car.
‘I recognise really keenly the challenges we face as a new player. Such a big transition. Pretty much unprecedented. We feel like it’s been over 100 years since the industry has faced quite this much change. To be successful at that, and to be here in decades’ time, we need a portfolio of products, and the technology that’s needed for them. There’s going to have to be different powertrains to satisfy all the different markets.
