Net Hero Podcast – With Sumit Bose

NHP – Wind power is the power!

In this week’s podcast, Sumit Bose speaks to Nathan Bennett from Renewable UK about the wind power potential for the UK, legislative levers and if we are on track to hit our goals.

NHP - Does renewable now mean energy?

Sumit Bose talks to the boss of the REA, Nina Skorupska, about the place of renewable energy in society now
 

NHP - Can e-fuels drive us to net zero?

Can they really be the cleaner way to decarbonise transport? Sumit Bose explores this fascinating subject with Markus Speith from Siemens Energy, who have been building a prototype e-fuel facility in Chile.

NHP - In conversation with former energy minister Claire Perry O’Neill

This week as an Easter treat I caught up with former Energy Minister Claire Perry O'Neill. She was a speaker at our events pre-pandemic and played a huge role in getting COP26 to Glasgow.
She now works as a consultant and net zero advocate and is supporting a company called Terrascope, which is helping companies with ESG measurement and strategy. We caught up on that, technology and of course politics.
How does she think the UK has done since it committed to the 2050 target four years ago? What have we done right and where has government failed? An open and candid chat - listen now!

NHP - “Businesses want to be net zero but let’s do more walking less talking”

In this episode of the Net Hero Podcast Sumit Bose and Ellis Hall chat about how net zero has progressed in terms of business and politics over the past year.

Net Hero Podcast – water the blue frontier?

This week Sumit Bose speaks to Chris Skidmore MP whose Net Zero Blueprint was published last month and they discuss the state of our progress and why he still feels optimistic we can hit the 2050 target.
But the main subject of the podcast is climate science of the oceans. With work already showing we can create antibiotics from ocean algae and bacteria, therefore cutting the emissions of pharmaceutical synthesis, many believe the water can unlock more net zero benefits.

Net Hero Podcast - Net Zero Homes

With housing the biggest challenge to decarbonisation and very little being done about revamping housing stock, is the answer to build every new home to be net zero? And what's it like to live in such a place? Listen in as Ian Pritchett from Greencore explains what they have done and the challenges that exist.

Net Hero Podcast - what wind do we need?

In this podcast I speak to John Olav Tande Chief Scientist with SINTEF, one of Europe's biggest research organisations. We discuss how we optimise wind power, particularly offshore wind. How do we make it less disruptive and less harmful to the marine environment? Can offshore wind work everywhere or is it just limited to Europe? Why does it offer the best way to rapid decarbonisation?
