In this episode of the Carbon Economist podcast, Stuart Penson delves into the evolving dynamics of the voluntary carbon credits market. Stuart examines the recent surge in demand, contrasting it with persistent allegations of greenwashing. Key developments include tightened industry standards and a notable rule change by the Science Based Targets Initiative, potentially allowing companies to count voluntary credits against Scope 3 emissions. Join us as we explore these pivotal shifts and their implications for the future of carbon offsetting.

The deployment of CCS and CCUS globally is accelerating as it now widely acknowledged as one of the key technologies for achieving net-zero and the limiting of global warming to 1.5 degrees. Crucial to the performance of all carbon capture systems as the industry scales up is CO2 compression. Carbon Economist is delighted to host this exclusive podcast with MAN Energy Solutions to explore its unique range of technologies in this key area. With its unrivalled expertise and skills, MAN Energy Solutions offers modularised compression solutions for every capture technology, based on years of experience in the compression of dry and wet CO2 and over a million hours of operation in CCUS applications. The modules are engineered to reduce delivery and installation times, with their integrally geared technology delivering optimum performance in terms of both Opex and Capex. 

In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative world of carbon capture and storage (CCS), a pivotal technology in the fight against climate change. Joining us are two esteemed guests from Schneider Electric: Rajesh Sharma, Global director of strategy for digital and energy transition solutions, and Ahmed Sfar, Director of business development. Together, they explore the intricacies of CCS, discussing its critical role in sustainability and decarbonisation, the impact of digitalisation and electrification, and the various types of carbon capture technologies reshaping industries. Whether you’re an industry professional, environmental advocate, or simply keen on the future of green technologies, this episode offers valuable insights into accelerating the transition towards a greener and more sustainable world.
