Innovating a Bright Future

Cities are becoming more densely populated as the global population increases and more people move to cities for jobs. This naturally means that cities will become the place that people spend a majority of their time so we need to ensure that cities are built to support the population. While infrastructure development has historically been controlled almost entirely by the municipal government, my guest for this episode has a different vision. Nic Leblanc is developing a new online interface that allows everyday citizens to decide on what they want in their communities. He calls his new platform My Living City and it may just revolutionize the system of city development. Check out the links below to find out more.

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.

Electricity is essential to a country's development. In developing countries such as Ethiopia, connecting to a nation wide grid is incredibly expensive, and energy infrastructure can be a target for conflict and violence. Duncan Lucas is a civil engineering student attending the University of Calgary and he has been working on bringing electricity to energy impoverished communities in Ethiopia for two years now. He and his team have been designing a solar microgrid for the community of Dangla in Ethiopia. Microgrids are fascinating because they allow small communities or other energy systems that can be isolated, such as recreation centers, churches, and campuses, to generate, transmit, and utilize all of their energy in one place. This episode will go into what exactly a microgrid is, as well as their role in making renewable energy available for all, even those who do not connect to larger scale energy projects. Check out the resources below for more information on this project and ones like it.

I had no idea that electric motors consume half of global electricity. I also had no idea how outdated the majority of our motor technology is today. Turntide is changing that. Turntide is a company working on incredible new motor technology that uses much simpler electronics that allow for more versatile and efficient energy use. Eric Meyerson is the VP of marketing at Turntide and he talked me through how their motors work and it is actually so incredibly cool. Eric and I also talk about interconnectivity, the Internet of Things, and automation, all things you have probably heard of but maybe don’t completely understand, which would make you exactly like me. Turntide’s combination of new motor technology and their use of interconnectivity is revolutionizing how we use electric motors, and how we operate large buildings or industrial systems in general. Check out the resources below for more information on motors and how they operate.

This episode is a very tough listen, but so incredibly important, all about how we’re destroying the planet, and what that actually means for us humans. The thing is though, if you are at all concerned about climate change, you have to know about these consequences. As much as I love the polar bears and having clean forests, climate change is about more than just nature. The effects of climate change will be felt all over the world, regardless of where you live or how far away it seems. You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out how and why, but there are millions, maybe BILLIONS of human lives at stake here. Climate change is quite possibly the biggest challenge the human species has ever faced, but like me, you probably don’t know why that is. Listen to this short bonus episode to hopefully find the answers to all of your questions. If not, let’s talk about it! Reach out on social media and we will have a conversation.

Energy storage is absolutely essential in order to implement renewable energy on a large scale. Energy storage allows for electricity produced during high production times, to be used in low production times, when the grid may need more energy than it is producing. Konstantin Pushkin, the CEO of AL Technologies may be on to something in his pursuit of aluminum energy storage.He told me all about how it’s resilient and never loses its charge and could be a large scale contributor to the future of how our energy systems operate. Physical forms of fuel such as aluminum and hydrogen make energy storage easy, and I can’t wait to see how both prospects develop. You can find AL Technolgies and Konstantin himself at the links below.

We need to implement widespread renewable energy, but you might not know that renewable energy projects like solar and wind are already being built around the world, with notable success. Jesse Laine is a renewable energy project director and implementation expert. He tells me about his experience in leading large scale solar plants in California which are now providing sustainable electricity to thousands of homes. We also discuss his work on commercial solar in Ontario and behind the meter energy storage that reduces energy costs for businesses and industry. Visit the websites below for more information on solar power and a youtube video on how energy inverters work.

Batteries seem to be one of the biggest barriers to widespread implementation of renewable energy. Right now we primarily use lithium ion batteries, which have served us well for things like personal devices for years now, but they have their issues just like any other technology. The materials used in lithium ion batteries are scarce, expensive, and the opposite of environmentally friendly to extract. So if we are going to use more and more lithium ion batteries, we can’t continue to rely on mining alone to supply the essential materials. That’s where battery recycling and Li-Cycle come in. Li-Cycle is implementing innovative new processes to recycle the most important components of a battery in a way that far and away surpasses the costs of mining, as well as other battery recycling methods. Chris Biederman is the Chief Technology Officer at Li-Cycle, and he talked me through the importance of battery recycling and what Li-Cycle does differently. Check out the resources below to learn even more about Li-Cycle.

Biden has recently released his American Jobs Plan, which is a $2.3 trillion dollar proposal to reinvent the way that the US operates. This bonus episode goes through what the bill entails and what it means for the future of the US. The Plan has been declared one of the most ambitious climate plans put forth by heavily industrialized countries, even though climate isn’t in the name. I usually try to stay away from politics on this show, but bonus episodes like this one will occasionally look at politics because as tiresome as it can seem sometimes, it takes political, systemic changes to make a real difference. Even though I’m not American, I recognize the important role that the US can play in taking action against climate change, so regardless of your political beliefs or even where you live, it’s important to have an idea of what the leaders of our world are thinking. Check out the links below for more information on the Plan, as well as some cool information on Iceland (listen until the end), and an episode from How To Save a Planet that goes through the Plan in more depth.

Transportation of goods and services is one of the most heavily polluting sectors on a global scale. The surprising thing is though, it’s the small trips to the grocery store, and to the soccer fields that are the least efficient. It seems kind of obvious that you don’t need to be driving your 6 seater SUV to pick up your mail but we still do it because we don’t have another option. That is finally starting to change. In this episode I talk to Robert Hoevers from Squad Mobility about his company’s new age solution to this problem - the micro car powered by the sun. Squad Mobility will be implementing their cars in much the same way as other micro-mobility such as shared electric bikes and scooters, making short range transportation convenient, efficient, and most importantly, emission free. When I think futuristic things, solar cars are among the Top 10 things that spring to mind, so this conversation was honestly just so fascinating to me and I hope it is to you as well. Use the links below to learn more about Squad Mobility and get in touch with them on social media.

Lorenzo Russo is a nanotechnologist and materials engineer working at Enapter. Enapter is a company working on modular, small size electrolyzers, which allows for the creation of hydrogen from just water and electricity. Hydrogen is a fuel, and is similar in its basic functions to natural gas, except it has absolutely no carbon emissions. Hydrogen represents an incredible opportunity and a technology that is going to be at the core of the transition to renewable energy on a worldwide scale, from mobility, to long term energy storage without batteries. If you’re interested in what nanotechnology is, this is the episode for you, as Lorenzo merges the science behind electrolysis with the fascinating world of nanotech. Below you can find Enapter’s website if you’re interested in learning more about electrolysis and how we can use hydrogen.

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.

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.
