Mohammed Ghassan Environmental Specialist

Mohammed Ghassan has worked at Bapco since 2016 in the Engineering Department as an Environmental Specialist, attached to the BMP team.

Mohammed graduated with a BEng in Mechanical Engineering from Manchester Metropolitan University and an MSc in Environmental Engineering from Newcastle University.

Since joining Bapco, Mohammed has been involved in a range of interesting projects including remediation of pitch ponds and environmental compliance of onsite construction activities. Involvement with BMP has afforded Mohammed with valuable experience of a major Refinery expansion programme and the many activities designed to minimise its environmental impact.

Mohammed comments that there is ‘nowhere better on the island’ than working at Bapco, a company that in his opinion provides the opportunity for all to express the views to come to the best collective decision on environmental matters.

The Layman’s Guide to Climate Change

In his spare time, Mohammed Ghassan is an accomplished author, having published the “Laymans Guide to Climate Change”, an explanatory guide that aims to educate on the basis for understanding climate change.

Mohammed’s guide breaks down the issue of climate change in an accessible manner for all readers. The book teaches about the fundamental mechanisms that govern our climate, and discusses topics such as whether recent increases are anthropogenic, why the climate change ‘debate’ exists and the role of climate treaties such as the Kyoto Protocol.

The book argues that we already possess the necessary technological tools to mitigate the worst of climate change, however it is the political and economic framework encouraging uptake of these technologies that historically has been missing. National initiatives such as the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030 are now providing that vital framework for action.
