“Out of 100 people who read my stories, I hope that at least 10 people will change their mind

and one person will change their behaviour.”

Kwangyin Liu has been in the forefront of environmental journalism in Taiwan since 2012.

She covers the energy transition, climate and the environment for CommonWealth Magazine

in Taiwan and is the host of the podcast Taiwanology.

She is our guest in this episode of The Switch – #notjustanotherpodcast, about urgent topics

that will shape our future:

- How to ensure unbiased, truthful information in the digital age

- How to make politicans and voters think of coming generations

- How businesses can look beyond short-term profits and contribute to the energy

transition

What is your view? Can we make it happen together?

Our kids are the future, right? So why don’t we talk to them more about the state of the planet we are handing over to them?

At Baseload Capital, we created the book Our Hidden Powers to make sure we talk to kids about:

* Climate change

* Renewable energy

*The need for collaboration to succeed with the green transition

Our book explores the potential of geothermal energy and cooperation between renewables.

It's also a call to action for everyone to tap into their unique strengths and contribute to a

greener planet.

75% of the globe could be powered by solar energy, says Erik Martinson, CEO of Svea

Solar, one of Europe´s fastest growing companies. So why aren’t we already there?

Erik’s answer is: it IS happening. We’re in the midst of a dramatic change right now. We

might think the process is to slow, but it is on it’s way. The question is just: will it take 10, 20

or 35 years?

Tune in to this episode of The Switch to learn how we can speed up the pace and scale

renewable energy faster.

There is a lot of misinformation being put in the media that is slowing down the clean energy

transition. Despite this, the clean technology sector is thriving. There are trillions of dollars

being invested in cleantech, and search for talent is ongoing.

In the new episode of The Switch Podcast, David Hunt takes us on a captivating exploration

of the future possibilities within the clean tech realm. As a founder and CEO of Hyperion

Cleantech Group, thought leader in the clean tech sector and a leading green entrepreneur,

as Financial Times hailed him, David explains why everybody should be thinking about

joining clean tech, how is politics slowing the sector down, why is there so much

misinformation deliberately put into the media about clean energy transition, but also why is

civil disobedience sometimes the only way things get heard.

As the world moves towards renewable energy, there is a growing demand for battery

energy storage as an effective way to handle production capacity that varies over time. With

battery energy storage, the peaks in energy production can be balanced, while at the same

time battery energy storage makes the grid more efficient and everything more optimized.

In the new episode of The Switch Podcast, we talked with Lisbet Ersson, Project Manager at

Ingrid Capacity, about the battery and energy storage as a core part of the energy system.

Join us and find out about the challenges, but also about the importance of large scale

energy storage for the green future.

In this episode of The Switch we dive straight into Almedalen Week – an annual event on the

Swedish island of Gotland where industry leaders, politicians, journalists & NGO representatives

gather to network, discuss current social issues and meet the people. The event has been recognized

as one of the most important forums in Sweden for democratic debate and exchange of ideas

between decision makers and the people.

In the midst of the vibrant firework of events & seminars we met Nora Bavey – formally known as

General Partner at Unconventional Ventures and reputed as one of Sweden’s most influential

investors and tech personalities. She has been crowned with awards such as one of the Most

Powerful Women in Business, one of the top 50 most influential people in Tech, the Most important

Female investor 2021 and ranked on the list of Sweden's 101 Sustainability Leaders.

Listen in as host Kristina Ilievska and Nora Bavey explore the blueprint for how to form a more

inclusive society and discuss how to diversify the Tech Industry, how to increase female ownership

and how diversity helps companies and businesses gain competitive edge and tap into their full

potential.

When we talk about the transition to cleaner energy, the oil and gas industry is often the

villain in the story, but the thing we must not forget is that this industry has provided us with a

degree of economic growth and the comfort of living we know today. Therefore, it would be

frivolous to expect that we can just switch off the fossil fuels industry.

However, the oil and gas industry is indeed in transition to a more sustainable direction, in

order to meet the changes in society. While fossil fuels will continue to play a role going into

the future, the question is: how do we do that in a cleaner way?

In the new episode of the Switch podcast we have the privilege of hosting Barbara Harrison,

Vice President, Offsets & Emerging at Chevron New Energies, who is helping us understand

Chevron's visionary approach, ambitious goals, and impressive projects that are propelling

the energy transition forward. Tune in and find out what kind of knowledge can Chevron

utilize and use to scale geothermal and transition, what are the projections for geothermal

and what does geothermal need to do differently this time in order to scale.

Did you know that if everybody in Great Britain stopped sending the polite last “thank you”

email, a coal power plant in Great Britain could be shut down?

This part of the IT industry is rarely talked about or even acknowledged, but it is very much

real. IT has a large climate footprint, and two biggest problems of this industry are demand

for energy and hardware. One of the initiatives in Sweden that wanted to address this

escalating problem and make it more visible in the public eye is NOX's Consulting CIOCO2.

Behind the idea is Pernilla Ramslöv, not only the CEO of NOX Consulting, but also CEO of

the year for small companies, EYEntrepreneur of the Year - Female shooting star, and

Business life's most powerful female entrepreneur.

In the new episode of the Switch podcast, we talked with Pernilla about solving footprint

problems in the IT industry, as well as the future of leadership and focusing on opportunities

regarding climate questions in order to create more action.

Did you know that fossil based energy production contributes to nearly 30 % of CO2 emissions globally? With the urgent need to change fossil based energy production to renewables, as well as coping with the new energy era that we are coming into, an old idea that has been around for decades is now becoming very interesting. Join us in the new episode of the Switch podcast as we dive into the world of large scale energy storage with Anna Engman, co-founder of Mine Storage and an avid entrepreneur and investor with experience of scaling several technology companies. Discover how Mine Storage's unique approach harnesses the potential of old mines and proven technology to redefine the way we store and utilize energy. Learn how a single mine storage, utilizing 100 MW capacity can provide a city of 250,000 households with energy for up to 12 hours, but also what are the needs for large-scale sustainable energy storage and the next steps for Mine Storage.
