Impact Unicorns with Dr. Indranil Ghosh

In this week's episode of Impact Unicorns, I'm delighted to share a fascinating dialog with you.

In the days leading up to COP26, I was privileged to be part of a green finance panel at the COPtimism event in Glasgow. The conference brought together the world’s most purpose driven brands, industry leaders, academics, environmentalists, and finance community with one aim. To drive forward the action that is needed to fix the climate emergency.

After a WWF report in 2019 found that UK banks and asset managers collectively financed projects that emitted 805million tonnes of greenhouse gases, the finance industry needs to evolve if the UK has any chance of meeting its Paris Agreement Targets. But how?

Welcome to Impact Unicorns with Dr. Indranil Ghosh.

Over the last few weeks, I've introduced to you some of the most transformative companies I know that are well positioned to become Impact Unicorns and there are more of these discussions to come. Now, many listeners have requested that from time to time, we take a step back from interviewing individual companies to talking about the bigger picture. And so, in this episode, we take one of those opportunities to take a helicopter view of how sustainable investing will unfold. And in particular, I talk about the capital deployment to the ESG movement. And how much of it is actually going into high impact opportunities, like the impact unicorns that we profile on this podcast. The presentation that I will share with you today was first delivered as a keynote to the global chamber, a non-profit organization trying to promote global sustainable development.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Christian Thiel, Founder and CEO of EnergyNest, a company with an innovative platform for decarbonizing industrial heating, heating of homes, offices, malls and industrial processes is a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. It is also a segment of the economy that is hard to decarbonize, because heating systems are still often set up to be powered directly from the combustion of fossil fuels. And within heating, industrial process heat accounts for 66% of the total carbon footprint. No wonder that Dr. Thiel’s EnergyNest has been generating so much interest among industrial customers by fertilizer plants and refineries, who are keen to use the company's thermal battery to meet their ESG targets for higher temperature industrial processes above 300 to 400 Celsius.

Christian’s passion to generate global impact led him away from the comforts of corporate life to the challenges of entrepreneurship and EnergyNest.

From 2008, he built that China business before returning to headquarters in Finland, where he rose to President of the energy solutions division and oversaw the transformation of the business from gas fired engines to renewables. But as the pivot to renewables ended cruise control, Javier wasn't one to stay nestled in a steady role managing operations of a global company. In 2018, he joined HighView Power as CEO and president and has led the company through the inflection point from technology development venture to large scale commercial deployment of high views revolutionary long duration energy storage solutions.
