    Accelerating Low Carbon Growth with Lauren Juliff, Clean Growth Fund

    This week, I'm joined by Lauren Juliff of the Clean Growth Fund. The fund seeks out early stage entrepreneurs with the potential to abate more than 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum and give them the money and guidance to bring their concepts to market. One of the themes of our discussion is that switching investment from high carbon industries to lower carbon sectors isn't enough – cash is required to disrupt the system through innovation. We also discuss the drawbacks in reporting, but the challenges in forecasting future potential of technology. The listener offer on our Net Zero for Business training course can be found here (Code: NETZERO4 if required).

    The Dire Straits of Hormuz | The Sustainability Show Ep1

    Regular listeners may have noticed the normal rhythm of our episodes is three guest interviews followed by a solo effort by yours truly. I'm pleased to launch a new version of that fourth episode – a monthly round up of news, interviews and other reflections which I hope you will find useful if not inspiring. This month we cover the ongoing situation in the Gulf, the IEA energy review, changes to the UK electricity pricing system, US bullying and Dale Vince's less than useful intervention on heat pumps. This is very much a work in progress and all feedback is gratefully received. This episode is brought to you by Terra Infirma Ltd - Bringing Sustainability to Life Hosted on Acast.
