Innovation and new technologies are central to the energy transition. While there are plenty of interesting ideas to help decarbonise the economy, scaling them to profitable businesses remains tricky in a capital-intensive industry.Spirii is a digital EV charging platform. Launched in 2019, the company has grown rapidly and is now present in 14 countries, with plans to go even further.Tore Harritshøj, founder and CEO of the Copenhagen-based company joins David Weston to discuss the best way for start-ups to be supported and why the Nordics are a fertile ground for new companies.Enjoy the show.If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our social media accounts:Tore Harritshøj: https://twitter.com/toreharritshoj?lang=enDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT@EnergyEnablers: https://twitter.com/EnergyEnablersFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Energy Enablers wherever you get podcasts.

In this episode of Energy Enablers, Serge Colle from professional services firm EY discusses how the electric vehicle market is developing and what barriers remain.Transport sector emissions are some of the most stubborn of our modern economy. But it is also the sector that has the clearest and most developed technical solution to decarbonise: electric vehicles.The rollout of EVs is gathering pace – but it is uneven and there are still barriers to uptake.In the episode, Serge and David discuss some of these issues facing the EV market and the changes afoot to help accelerate growth.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our social media accounts:Serge Colle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergecolle/David Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT@EnergyEnablers: https://twitter.com/EnergyEnablersFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Energy Enablers wherever you get podcasts.

Turning the emissions tide is a slow process. Emissions are still rising, despite some progress. It is increasingly becoming a case of all hands on deck, in order to stay below the 2C of global warming target.The role of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is still being debated, but it increasingly looks like it will need to play a significant part in the decarbonisation of our economy. Your energy enabler this week is Jenny Seagraves a senior manager for sustainability and decarbonisation at chemicals giant Linde.In the episode, we touch on the various capture technologies being used across the energy sector today, and how utilisation will become increasingly important as we continue to decarbonise.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Jenny Seagraves: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-seagraves-18a5bb31/David Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT@EnergyEnablers: https://twitter.com/EnergyEnablersFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Energy Enablers wherever you get podcasts.

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) will form the core of the aviation industry’s efforts to decarbonise.The sector and its supply chains are spending significant resources on developing the production capacity and source of low-carbon feedstocks to produce enough SAFs needed to meet the mid-century decarbonisation targets.But a lack of standardisation and with a large number of options available, deciding the best routes to focus on is proving difficult.In this week’s Energy Enablers, David speaks to Sylvain Verdier, Senior Business Strategy Manager for Strategy & Innovation at Topsoe. They discuss how seriously the aviation sector is tackling the shift to sustainable aviation fuels and what governments need to do to help.The Energy Enablers podcast, a regular series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, speaks to those who are making a difference in the race to a decarbonised economy.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Sylvain Verdier: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sylvain-verdier-6267301/David Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT@EnergyEnablers: https://twitter.com/EnergyEnablersFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Energy Enablers wherever you get podcasts.

A decade of low energy prices, falling further during the Covid-19 pandemic, meant the sudden price spikes of 2022 were felt even more keenly.The long-term impacts of the energy crisis, the societal lockdowns of 2020 and the fallout from the invasion of Ukraine are still unknown. A short-term knee-jerk reaction to the market design could have implications for the energy transition, but changes need to be made, and quickly, in order to provide secure and stable power suppliesIn this week’s Energy Enablers, David is joined by Derk Swider, Vice President Group Strategy, Foresight & Analytics at E.ON. They talk about how the market could change in a way that provides security while also promoting new clean energy sources.The Energy Enablers podcast, a regular series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, speaks to those who are making a difference in the race to a decarbonised economy.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Derk Swider: https://twitter.com/EON_SE_enDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT@EnergyEnablers: https://twitter.com/EnergyEnablersFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Energy Enablers wherever you get podcasts.

The energy transition will require a significant scale-up of storage capacity to help deal with both the increasing levels of variable clean energy generation and an ever-growing level of flexible demand.Balance these two moveable feasts will require agile and rapid response battery solutions as well as long-term, seasonal storage—a barrier that has yet to be fully overcome.In this episode of Energy Enablers, David is joined by Johan Söderbom, Thematic Leader Smartgrid and Storage at EIT InnoEnergy. They discuss how the rise of storage capacity will be made easier with other demand-side technologies helping to reduce demand.The Energy Enablers podcast, a regular series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, speaks to those who are making a difference in the race to a decarbonised economy.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Johan Söderbom: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johan-s%C3%B6derbom-a84b652a/David Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT@EnergyEnablers: https://twitter.com/EnergyEnablersFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Energy Enablers wherever you get podcasts.
