So, what is the secret sauce that makes TS Conductor the best conductor to efficiently increase grid capacity worldwide? Jason Huang gets into the details of the TS Conductor, and why it is the best that materials science has to offer, in this Energy Insiders podcast with host David Leitch. https://lnkd.in/gf3SUdKp RenewEconomy is an independent Australian news outlet covering the energy transition, climate crisis, global economy, and more. #EnergyInsiders #Australia #Climate #Energy

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), one in 10 people around the world lacks access to reliable energy. A third of the world’s population lacks access to clean cooking fuels—a major health risk. At some point, renewable energy sources will likely fill these gaps—but until then, Steve Riney, President and CFO of Apache Corporation, argues that we need more of every form of energy to connect people to the global economy.    As always, we want to listen to and learn from varied perspectives as part of the shift to a lower carbon economy. In this episode, Erika Pagel sits down with Steve to talk about why he thinks in terms of energy expansion rather than energy transition. They cover changes in the energy industry, conventional vs. unconventional production, energy poverty, sustainability, and “doing the right thing” in a politicized environment.

Getting a product from one spot to another is a major hurdle all businesses and industries need to clear. Renewable energy is no different. My conversation with Jason Grumet of American Clean Power is this week's MtoM podcast. https://lnkd.in/gueAeav7

Today for the first time in almost 20 years, companies operating under the EU #ETS won't need to surrender the carbon allowances for the previous year. Is this having an impact on the price of #carbon this year? And if yes, is this normal market adjustment or does this pose a risk to the European #energy transition? Lewis Unstead helped me dig into all things carbon 2024 in episode 10 of the ICIS #EnergyForesight podcast https://lnkd.in/dKg4nsMu

Finding a balance between a nation's goals for climate change and economic growth is crucial. Everyone, including companies, governments, and individuals, has to adopt sustainable practices with low carbon emissions. It is also essential to acknowledge that the shift towards a low-carbon economy requires systematic modifications and cooperation. #PGE301

In this episode, Net Zero by Current± is joined by Tom Smout, senior associate with the GB research team at Aurora Energy Research, to discuss the opening of the second consultation for the Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) and the potential consequences thereof. #energytransition

Europe's energy crisis created significant pressure to decarbonize - how did Poland rise to the occasion? Forum Energii's Joanna Pandera PhD recently joined the Enlit Europe podcast to share the country's substantial progress towards a greener energy system, an update on the coal phaseout, and how Poland is stepping up as a #climate leader on the continent. Take just 20 mins to hear from one of Poland's leading experts: 🎧 🔽 https://lnkd.in/dXJhJFjP

Wendel Hortop, Ed Porter and I chat through the second REMA consultation. Podcast link in the comments for some nerdy easter listening. My two takeaways: 💨 While renewable intermittency will be more precise through shorter settlement periods, it will *not* be more accurate, as gate closure will stay at 1h. 15-min or 5-min settlement will be great for batteries (more price vol) but the gate closure decision means there will still be significant imbalance volumes for the ESO, rather than the market, to deal with. 🔋Battery folk: get as involved as possible in REMA. Resourcing to respond to the many consultations going on is an issue, particularly in small teams. But, we need as many voices from everyone across the whole electricity sector, else we could be at risk of getting drowned out - and this one matters!
