Green Tech and the "Valley of Death", with Rhian-Mari Thomas OBE (GFI)

This week we're live from Innovation Zero, to talk the challenges of scaling new climate technologies. The so-called "valley of death" affects all sectors, but clean tech is particularly difficult to move from research to wide-scale adoption. Why? And what can we do about it? Our guest this week is Rhian-Mari Thomas OBE, CEO at the Green Finance Institute and the first person to win an OBE for services to Green Finance. Our host is Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, former UK government advisor and Policy Fellow at Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy. The two discuss why new energy techs are so hard to finance, the importance of failure for some techs, and why innovation is crucial for the world's climate ambition.

aflevering Can Britain really go Electric? with Ben Westerman artwork

Can Britain really go Electric? with Ben Westerman

The Hormuz Oil Crisis is reminding Britain just how reliant we still are on oil and gas. Our electricity is fairly clean, but only 21% of final energy use is electrified. The rest - in our homes, our cars, and our industries - relies on increasingly volatile and expensive oil and gas. Why is Britain so far behind in electrifying compared to countries like France, the Netherlands, or Norway? And what can be done to reverse course and insulate our economy from global shocks like this in the future? This week Ben Westerman, Director of Policy and Advocacy at Electrify Britain, joins our host Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett to discuss the state of Britain's electrification.

How to Stop an Energy Crisis: renewables and security, from Ukraine to Iran (with Ana Musat)

Energy security is on everyone's mind right now. Since Israel and the US struck Iran and Iran's strikes across the Gulf nations, oil prices have soared over $100 a barrel and the Straits of Hormuz remain blockaded. But this isn't the first time we've seen such a shock. Just 4 years ago Russia's full invasion of Ukraine caused a global energy crisis, and any historian will remember the shocks of the 1970s that near collapsed the world economy. So what is the future of energy security, and can a renewable based system make us more resilient in an uncertain world? This week we're joined by Ana Musat, an Executive Director at Renewable UK, to discuss a recent report in collaboration with Public First and the Royal United Services Institute, the world's oldest defence think tank. The episode is hosted by Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, who served as energy security advisor at No10 Downing Street during the 2022 energy crisis, and as Head of Policy and Strategy for Renewable Delivery at the UK Department for Energy. We touch on the recent crisis in the Middle East, lessons from Ukraine, and what future security challenges we'll have to watch out for as renewables become the norm.

Renewables and the Stock Market, with Minesh Shah (TRIG)

What's the stock market got to do with renewables? While there's a lot of focus on the rise of private equity in the infrastructure space, there is still a strong tradition in the UK of listed infrastructure funds, and of retail investors wanting to invest in the energy transition more widely. So is there still a case for public markets? And where do they fit into the overall picture of renewable finance? Our guest this week is Minesh Shah, Managing Director at Infrared Capital Partners, who lead the management of the Renewable Infrastructure Group , one of the first and largest listed funds, and part of the FTSE-250 Index. The show is hosted by Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, former senior government advisor and Policy Fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy.
