Michaela Kendall from Adelan appears in Leaders Council podcast alongside Geoff Hurst.
Published June 2020
The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is currently in the process of talking to leadership figures from across the nation in an attempt to understand this universal trait and what it means in Britain and Northern Ireland today.
Michaela Kendall from Adelan was invited onto an episode of the podcast, which also included an interview with Geoff Hurst. Host Matthew O’Neill asked both guests a series of questions about leadership and the role it has played in their careers to date.
Matthew O’Neill commented, ‘Hosting a show like this, where you speak to genuine leaders who have been there and done it, either on a national stage or within a crucial industry sector, is an absolute honour.’
Lord Blunkett, chairman of The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland said, ‘I think the most informative element of each episode is the first part, where Matthew O’Neill is able to sit down with someone who really gets how their industry works and knows how to make their organisation tick. Someone who’s there day in day out working hard and inspiring others. That’s what leadership is all about.’

About Adelan
First founded in The Midlands, Birmingham-based Adelan pioneered microtubular solid oxide fuel cell (mSOFC) technology more than 30 years’ ago. Adelan’s patented and scalable technology gives the fuel cell unprecedented flexibility, allowing the system to run cleanly on a range of commonly available fuels such as LPG, natural gas or propane/butane mix. As a result, though Adelan fuel cells can also run on hydrogen, they offer considerable additional operational flexibility and ease of use benefits whilst retaining a small, compact and lightweight footprint.
Adelan has successfully demonstrated SOFC’s potential by powering auxiliary power on a very light rail (VLR) vehicle in the Black Country, reducing operating costs through fuel efficiency and slashing carbon emissions
The collaboration between Adelan and the UK Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) aims to scale up production in the UK. This partnership will increase UK manufacturing capacity to enhance the UK electric vehicle supply chain
Following the Invest West Midlands case study, Adelan’s innovative microtubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (mSOFCs) have been highlighted for their ability to use conventional fuels like propane and biomethane.
Hydrogen fuel cells are key to a low-carbon energy future, but face challenges in production, infrastructure, and costs. Adelan’s microtubular SOFCs provide an immediate solution by using readily available fuels like propane and biomethane, supporting the hydrogen economy transition.
Pioneering mobile fuel cell applications, Adelan scores another win with its proven SOFC technology, with a project with construction giant Speedy Hire. A hybridised system powered by fuel cells could spell the answer to decarbonising mobile construction lifts.
