Across the Middle East, the energy transition is shifting from ambition to action, guided by evidence, measurement, and accountability.In this episode, Casey Shannon is joined by Jay Gadhavi, General Manager at KROHNE Middle East & Africa, and Jonathan Ashton, Head of Marketing & Communications at KROHNE MEA, to explore how data is changing the way the region approaches Decarbonisation.From oil and gas to water, utilities, district cooling, and smart cities, the conversation looks at how accurate measurement enables better decisions, drives efficiency, and supports long-term energy planning. It also turns to what’s next, examining how digitalization, transparency, and shared standards are shaping emerging areas such as hydrogen and carbon capture, and influencing how organizations take responsibility for their climate impact.

In the race toward sustainability, we often focus on technology, policy, and innovation but what if true transformation begins inside?

In this episode of AERZENtalks, sustainability leader and Inner Development Goals (IDGs) advocate Adrienne Doolan joins us to explore how cultivating self-awareness, empathy, courage, and collaboration can fuel meaningful, lasting change.

We dive into what the IDGs really are, why they matter now more than ever, and how leaders, businesses, and communities, especially in the Middle East, can harness inner growth to drive outer impact. From bridging IDGs with Sustainable Development Goals to embedding inner development in organizations, Adrienne shares practical insights and inspiring stories to help us lead with clarity, purpose, and resilience.

Whether you’re a policymaker, corporate leader, or anyone seeking to make a difference, this episode invites you to rethink leadership, human potential, and the path to a more sustainable world.

In this episode of AERZENtalks, we sit down with Yasin Kasirga, a transformational leader who has spent more than two decades shaping the global energy landscape. From building over 11 GW of power capacity across gas, hydro, geothermal, and solar, to spearheading 25+ wind projects across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Yasin has been at the forefront of the world’s energy evolution.

But beyond the megawatts and milestones, Yasin shares the human side of leadership, his personal journey, the mindset needed to drive real transformation, and what sustainability truly means to him. Together, we explore:

• The realities and misconceptions of decarbonization today

Energy is at the heart of everything we do powering our homes, industries, and cities. But as the world races against climate change, how do we make it clean, efficient, and sustainable for generations to come?Join us for a live conversation with Eng. Faisal Ali Rashid PMP, Senior Director of Demand Side Management at the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy.Explore:- How Dubai is balancing its role as a global energy producer with its Net Zero 2050 commitments- The future of district cooling, retrofits, and energy efficiency- Game-changing technologies: CSP, green hydrogen, and circular economy models- The role of private sector collaboration, finance, and youth engagement in accelerating decarbonizationDiscover exclusive insights across energy, government, sustainability, academia, and industry who want to understand the forces shaping the MENA region’s energy future.

In this powerful episode of AERZENtalks, we sit down with Sunil Lalvani, the visionary founder and CEO of Project Maji, a nonprofit social enterprise that has brought sustainable access to clean water to over 500,000 people across Sub-Saharan Africa.

But Sunil’s journey didn’t begin in the nonprofit world. It began in the electronics industry, a world he walked away from in pursuit of something far more personal, purposeful, and urgent.

What started as a single mission to honor a legacy has grown into a movement, one powered by innovation, resilience, and a relentless belief in the right to safe water.

In this episode, Sunil shares:

• The story behind his leap from business to humanitarian work
• How Project Maji uses solar-powered water kiosks to transform lives
• The challenges of scaling impact in remote, underserved regions
• A deeply moving story from the field that changed everything
• Why clean water is foundational to solving global issues like health, education, and gender equality
• His vision for the future of water access and sustainability

Sunil’s voice is one of clarity, purpose, and profound inspiration. This episode will leave you thinking differently about what it means to lead, to serve, and to make a lasting impact.
