    Are Batteries Bad for the Planet? Zero Emission Mining with NMG | Fully Charged Show Podcast

    In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we shine a spotlight on the unsung hero of lithium-ion batteries: Graphite. As the key component of a battery’s anode, graphite plays a critical role in powering EVs and energy storage solutions. However, with over 95% of the world’s graphite refined in China, diversifying the supply chain is more important than ever. We delve into how companies like Quebec-based Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) are stepping up, promising carbon-neutral graphite—an ambitious goal for an industry reliant on mining and refining raw materials. The company, backed by supply agreements with GM and Panasonic, is working to determine whether the battery supply chain can truly go green and make sustainable mining a reality. Joining us is NMG CEO and founder Eric Desaulniers to explore these challenges and opportunities. Enjoy this deep dive into the future of sustainable battery materials!  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow This podcast was brought to you by OVO's Charge Anywhere.

    The Ocean, The Crown & The Hidden Story of Offshore Wind Energy! | Fully Charged Show Podcast

    In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we dive into The Crown Estate's pivotal role in the UK’s renewable energy transition. As custodians of the seabed surrounding England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, they’re powering 11 million homes with offshore wind energy. Imogen explores how their latest initiatives, like the Marine Delivery Routemap, are tackling grid bottlenecks, speeding up consents, and finding harmony between environmental conservation and renewable expansion. Gus Jaspert, Managing Director for Marine at The Crown Estate, breaks down the UK’s energy puzzle—from wrangling stakeholders like NESO and Ofgem to resolving spatial clashes with fisheries and shipping. With a need for over 120GW by 2030 requiring a tripling of wind energy deployment, how will the race to net-zero electricity unfold?

    2.3 Billion Tyres: Is ENSO the Tesla of the Tyre Industry?| Fully Charged Show Podcast

    In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert explores the world of tyres with Gunnlaugur Erlendsson, CEO and Founder of ENSO. With billions of tyres in use globally, most made from fossil-fuel-derived synthetic rubber, the environmental impact is staggering. Tyre wear releases six million tonnes of microscopic particles annually—accounting for 28% of primary microplastics in our oceans—and contributes more to air pollution than vehicle tailpipes. ENSO is taking on this challenge with innovative, low cost, durable, high-efficiency tyres specifically designed for electric vehicles (EVs). These advanced tyres produce 35% less pollution and can also extend EV range, setting a new standard for sustainability in the automotive industry.
