Net Hero Podcast – With Sumit Bose

Governments and regulators will play a key role in enabling the transition to cleaner fuels, said Xing Wang, SVP of Global Technology at Centrica Business Solutions.
Speaking to future Net Zero about how the global economy can reach a stage of being fully decarbonised, he noted that the simplest pathway to emissions reductions in the long term for many organisations is switching from fossil fuels to alternative, cleaner fuels such as hydrogen.

Most businesses have poorer data than they need to be able to take action on net zero.
That’s the suggestion from Simon Alsbury, Managing Director of Energise, who spoke to future Net Zero News Editor Jonny Bairstow in the fifth of a series of podcasts titled ‘Counting Carbon’ - he explained the three main steps that companies can implement now to kickstart their decarbonisation journey and begin driving down emissions while maintaining economic success.

Despite many businesses having a real desire and strategic drive to decarbonise, many are coming up against the stumbling block of accessing the financing needed to pay for it.
That's the suggestion from Bill Rees, Commercial Director at Centrica Business Solutions, who told future Net Zero about the financial challenges that are commonly faced by companies as they work towards decarbonisation and explained how he and his team work to help businesses overcome these issues on their pathway to 2050.

That’s the suggestion from Simon Alsbury, Managing Director of Energise, who spoke to future Net Zero News Editor Jonny Bairstow in the fourth of a series of podcasts titled ‘Counting Carbon’

Businesses must be responsible and work together to reduce emissions - you can change someone else's carbon footprint with your own behaviour.
That’s the suggestion from Simon Alsbury, Managing Director of Energise, who spoke to future Net Zero News Editor Jonny Bairstow in the third of a series of podcasts titled ‘Counting Carbon’ - in a discussion centring around Scope 3 downstream emissions, he emphasised that what one person does has a material impact on how other people perform.

Businesses are becoming increasingly aware that decarbonisation and cost reduction go hand-in-hand as part of a joined-up approach.
That's the suggestion from John Hartley, Director of Product Management at Centrica Business Solutions, who spoke to future Net Zero about the obstacles and opportunities that businesses around the world will face on their journeys towards net zero, and how Centrica Business Solutions can help them develop a successful decarbonisation strategy to thrive in the lead-up towards 2050.

In order to successfully decarbonise, it's vital to make sure you are working with the right data from the start of your net zero journey.
That's the suggestion from Simon Alsbury, Managing Director of Energise, who spoke to future Net Zero News Editor Jonny Bairstow in the second of a series of podcasts titled 'Counting Carbon'.

The pathway to net zero can be broken down into four simple steps - Review, Reduce, Renew, Rebalance.
 
That's the suggestion from Simon Alsbury, Managing Director of Energise, who spoke to future Net Zero News Editor Jonny Bairstow in the first of a series of podcasts titled 'Counting Carbon'.

Muntons is a family run business, established in 1921 and Group Managing Director, Mark Tyldesley told me what makes the Suffolk based maltsters so special: “We’re a malt and malt ingredients business.  Essentially, we buy barley, turn it into malt and then sell it to brewing and distilling industries and the food sector. We’re in beers like BrewDog and lots of confectionary; it’s a fabulous business that many consumers will be familiar with, but they just don’t know it.”

Clean energy strategies must be holistically integrated with wider commercial objectives.
That's the suggestion from Stuart Duncan, Distributed Energy Strategic Sales Manager at Centrica Business Solutions, who explained how the firm is helping customers manage the challenge of aligning business objectives to an overarching energy strategy.
