The Net Zero Business Podcast

Transformers: the hidden workhorses of Net Zero with Ayah Alfawaris, Wilson Power Systems

If we didn't have transformers on our electricity grid to step up and step down voltages then we would get nothing out of it; everything would be lost in transmission. Those dull grey boxes are essential to modern life and critical to Net Zero as they enable renewable energy generation, electric vehicle charging and battery storage systems. On the other hand ageing transformers are 'silent energy guzzlers'; across Europe they lose 3 times the electricity consumption of Denmark. In this fascinating episode of the pod, Ayah Alfawaris, Marketing and Sustainability Director of Wilson Power Systems explains all.

Turning Trauma into Purpose with Stuart Green

In 2017, Stuart Green suffered the kind of loss we all dread. His wife Mia, a human rights and environmental lawyer, was brutally murdered by a hit squad in front of their three children near their home in the Philippines. As a scientist, Stuart decided to research how best to recover from trauma and, after reading 500 pieces of literature, realised that the answer was to abandon the past and embrace the future. His book, the Regenerate Leap, provides a template for organisations to not just survive but thrive in a turbulent world. He rejects the idea of 'resilience' as that is backwards looking, preferring to think about having the mental agility to adapt to the new reality. In this inspirational episode of the pod, Stuart and I discuss how to apply regenerative thinking to organisations facing the transition to the low carbon economy. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
