Innovating a Bright Future is the podcast that brings together technology and climate action in an engaging interview format that showcases some of the most interesting initiatives taking place across the globe. If you are someone who cares about climate change but you’re tired of hearing about how the world is going to explode in a few short years if we don’t do something soon (What does that even mean?), then this podcast is for you. We stay away from divisive politics and meaningless numbers with no context, and instead I interview climate action leaders implementing revolutionary ideas that are helping to reduce our impact on the world around us. Listen to this podcast to learn, be inspired, and find new ideas to look into even more. If you are interested in getting involved, please use any of the contacts or social media listed below, and look into the links below as well for actionable things you can do right now.

Who am I?

My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I’ve noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can for climate change is talk about it.” so let’s talk about it. Let’s learn about solar energy and battery storage, let’s dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let’s learn and let’s discuss. We aren’t doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let’s get to work.

The season finale of S1!! This episode is probably my favorite of the season, where we’re talking all about batteries. With energy storage being such a pivotal issue and batteries being one of the most promising candidates for solving that issue, the development of batteries designed to handle grid scale applications is essential. That’s exactly what StorEn Technologies is working on. This episode features Carlo Brovero, the founder and CEO of StorEn, and he tells me all about his Vanadium flow battery, a new method of battery storage that eliminates the worst issues plaguing lithium ion batteries. What an episode to end on, I hope you’ll be back next season! Check out the website below to connect with Carlo.

We must transition from fossil fuel power plants like coal and natural gas, to renewable resources like solar, wind, and hydro. That’s what Ignacio Fernandes is here to talk about. Having completed hundreds of megawatts of renewable energy and hydrogen projects, he knows this topic very well. As Ignacio will make very clear in this episode, the challenges to carbon free electricity generation are great, but it’s not impossible, and it is an absolutely necessary task. Check out the links below to connect with Ignacio and to learn more.

If there is one solution to climate change that I would say needs the most further research it would be carbon capture. We need to put some energy into this in order to determine exactly how much carbon capture we should be using and how we should be using it, whether it be eliminating emissions from natural gas or pulling carbon dioxide straight out of the air. There is a wide variety of opinions on all of these pieces, so to get a better idea of exactly what carbon capture is and what it does, I talked to Greg Kist, the co-founder of Blue X Energy. His company Blue X Energy is focussing on finding the best places to store carbon dioxide once we capture it, but he gave me a great rundown on the basics of carbon capture and why it could be the one thing that we need to get to carbon neutrality by 2050. Maybe with carbon capture we can continue to use a fossil fuel like natural gas, or through reforming natural gas into hydrogen and capturing the leftover CO2, the market for hydrogen will boom. Carbon capture in the ways that it’s being talked about today is fairly new, and absolutely fascinating to talk about. Check out the links below for more information on carbon capture.

Politics. Love them or hate them, climate policies on local, national, and international levels are required if we are to successfully integrate renewable energy and all of the other climate technologies talked about in this show, and prevent the worst effects of climate change. In this bonus episode we are going through the most essential pieces of climate policy in Canada, the US, the EU, and internationally. Although I personally find the technology side of climate action much more interesting, it is important to note that putting climate action into law ensures that it is being paid proper attention to by everyone and I mean EVERYONE, because it is much more difficult to dodge a law than a recommendation. I hope you find yourself learning from this episode, and if you listen all the way through there is a fun little surprise at the end you don’t want to miss!

While the Paris Agreement was being forged back in 2015, developing countries shocked the world by leading the way and continually pushing for more ambition out of the Agreement. Developing countries have much lower impacts on climate than more industrialized countries, but, developing countries will suffer much more under climate change than the rest. So we know that developing countries have the drive to change and ensure that they are doing their part to mitigate climate change, but they still require many resources scarce to them; money, natural resources, and perhaps most importantly, expertise. Olaniyi Oyeniyi, my guest this episode takes me through the challenges that countries are facing in sustainably developing and what we need to do to ensure that every nation can develop in a way that is climate friendly.

It is undeniable that electric cars are the way of the future for transportation and mobility. The problem with electric cars is that right now, the majority of electricity produced around the world comes from fossil fuels which kinda defeats the purpose. We need to generate electricity without the burning of fossil fuels. Enter CAPSolar. Samy Benhamza and his company CAPSolar are developing modular solar power arrays that produce electricity to be used in electric vehicles that can be placed directly on top of cars or built directly into the roofs of cars. It is not simply wiring solar panels into your electric engine though, and Samy will tell you all about what it takes to transition electric cars into the realm of 100% renewable energy, all the time. Below are resources for further information on CAPSolar.

Billions of tons of recyclable material and millions of dollars are sent into landfills or the ocean every year because recycling costs money. As essential as recycling is to reduce emissions from producing new material as well as disposing of waste, the system as it is now is not enough. AMP Robotics is using artificial intelligence and robotics to improve speed, accuracy, and ultimately affordability of recycling. Carling Spelhaug from AMP Robotics walks me through how their system works and why automation in recycling is absolutely essential to reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

Its time to celebrate! Well maybe not celebrate but to hope. The last bonus episode was a really tough listen so I made it my goal to make this one as easy as possible. This one is all about why taking action, creating change in our global systems is not just essential but beneficial to absolutely everyone. It can be hard to be positive sometimes because climate action is still largely painted as a cost, but it’s not. By changing the way the world works in ways that reduce emissions, we will create jobs, increase an individual’s control over their own life, raise quality of life and develop new technology that we can’t even imagine yet. We don’t have to choose between saving the planet and paying the rent, we can have both and so much more. Check out the links below to see how we can use climate action to the benefit of the people, not just the planet.

Solar energy is one of the technologies that will be an important part of the global transition to renewable energy, however there is another technology that partners perfectly with solar power - wind. Wind energy is more active at the times when solar isn’t at night, cloudy days, and winter months. This episode is a conversation with Ken Kotalik, the Director of Global Sales for Primus Wind. Primus Wind manufactures small off grid wind turbines that generate clean energy in applications that do not connect to the grid. Their turbines are simple and efficient and coupled with solar, creating a renewable energy system capable of generating power in a variety of conditions. Wind is incredibly important in making renewable energy available around the clock, and Primus is making that happen. Ken Kotalik tells me about how Primus’ turbines work and even more about why wind energy is essential for more widespread implementation of carbon free energy. Check out the resources below for more information on Primus Wind and power electronics.

Innovating a Bright Future is the podcast that brings together technology and climate action in an engaging interview format that showcases some of the most interesting initiatives taking place across the globe. If you are someone who cares about climate change but you’re tired of hearing about how the world is going to explode in a few short years if we don’t do something soon (What does that even mean?), then this podcast is for you. We stay away from divisive politics and meaningless numbers with no context, and instead I interview climate action leaders implementing revolutionary ideas that are helping to reduce our impact on the world around us. Listen to this podcast to learn, be inspired, and find new ideas to look into even more. If you are interested in getting involved, please use any of the contacts or social media listed below, and look into the links below as well for actionable things you can do right now.

Who am I?

My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I’ve noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can for climate change is talk about it.” so let’s talk about it. Let’s learn about solar energy and battery storage, let’s dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let’s learn and let’s discuss. We aren’t doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let’s get to work.
