A new podcast series promises to illuminate the latest developments in the energy sector, covering power, oil and gas, and mining industries. Jackie Park, GlobalData’s energy titles editor-in-chief, presents this fun and educational series. Each week, on Tuesday at 7 AM EST (12 PM GMT), she rocks listeners’ worlds with stimulating conversations about powering decarbonisation.
The podcast takes a comprehensive approach to understand the growing importance of heat in the global energy use. Heat already represents almost half of global final energy use. It equally accounts for an astounding 37% of energy-related emissions. Every episode is full of great insights from an eclectic mix of guests. You’ll learn from industry leaders who impart their real-world experience addressing challenges and seizing opportunities along the path toward a clean, more sustainable energy future.
One of those distinguished guests is Blaine Collison, executive director at the Renewable Thermal Collaborative. Collison’s deep bench of experience sounds exactly what the time calls for. He was director of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership. As an early adopter and implementer of these technologies, Tim’s experience with these renewable thermal technologies makes him a revered resource regarding heat decarbonisation.
We’re joined by Dr. Chris Bataille, who lends his academic expertise to the production. He is an adjunct research fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy. His perspective dives into new ways to think about leading with equity to decarbonize the energy economy. He speaks on behalf of Accelerate Zero, promoting innovation that accelerates global decarbonization aims.
Cecilia Springer from Synapse Energy Economics joins to share her expertise on economic implications and policy frameworks that drive energy transitions. Meanwhile, Neil Harrison, co-founder and director at Reheat, shares his experience in the field, providing practical solutions to overcome barriers in heat decarbonisation.
The podcast is available on all 36 of these media platforms. Which means it’s super simple for you all to tune in and follow the most current conversations and insights. By bringing together voices from various sectors, the podcast fosters an inclusive dialogue about the future of energy and the urgent need for sustainable practices.
