Making Net Zero affordable with Andrew Sissons, NESTA

Making Net Zero affordable with Andrew Sissons, NESTA

On a daily basis we hear opinions on why the UK's electricity prices are so high – is it due to our reliance on gas or our Net Zero policies? This week, Andrew Sissons, Director of Sustainable Future at NESTA, joins me to discuss NESTA's decarbonisation of domestic heating projects, and how to make that transition more affordable which takes us on to power prices. We unpick why UK electricity costs so much, whether renewables are starting to bring costs down and what more policy makers can do.

NET! Zero at Wimbledon with Hattie Park, AELTC

This week on the pod I'm joined by Hattie Park, Sustainability Manager at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, or, as most people think of it, Wimbledon.

The Strait jacket loosens, more energy records fall and who asked Tony Blair?

The Sustainability Show is our four weekly review show. There's been plenty of news in the last four weeks with the possibility of the Strait of Hormuz reopening to fossil fuels, a number of energy records met and the UK Government starting the process of adopting the seventh carbon budget. Ex UK PM Tony Blair also popped up with his views on Net Zero amongst plenty of other issues. I also review the three interviews we've had on the pod, pulling out the key learning point from each before discussion my thoughts on the National Emergency Briefing documentary and, in particular, whether we should use the phrase 'climate emergency'.

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.
