    Mr. Shah Goes to Washington Oct 21, 2021
    Show notes

    The U.S. Department of Energy is crucial for funding, researching, and testing emerging energy tech.

    Now, in the Biden era, the agency is orienting itself toward deployment. How difficult is that transition?

    Our former co-host Jigar Shah joins Stephen, Katherine, and Ed to discuss his experience running the Energy Department’s loan programs office.

    In March, Jigar left his position at Generate Capital (and this podcast) to head into government service and run the loan programs office. Jigar has $40 billion in authority to back a wide range of climate technologies -- and he’s been working on the first round of investments with those dollars.

    In the second half of the show: a surprising twist in the global clean-energy transition. How much trouble will energy price inflation cause around the world?

    No Peak in Sight for Emissions Oct 14, 2021
    Show notes

    EIA and IEA are out with projections for emissions and fossil fuel consumption. And they don’t look good.

    On our current policy trajectory, there is no peak in sight, according to EIA By 2050, we will likely see a 50% increase in energy consumption. And even though renewables will be the fastest-growing new source of energy, hydrocarbon liquid fuels will meet the majority of demand.

    That means emissions could rise through 2050, absent massive changes to policy.

    In July, the International Energy Agency issued a similar analysis showing that carbon emissions will hit record levels in the coming years. And that spending packages around the world — even at historic levels — are still not enough.

    How do we make sense of this sobering analysis?

    Plus, Wood Mackenzie is out with a new analysis of global energy storage trends, showing that storage deployments are set to triple this year. Most of that growth is coming from America and China, which account for 70% of installations. What are the applications, technologies and markets that will dominate this growth?

    Finally, Europe is in a crisis headed into winter. Natural gas is the second-most confused fuel in Europe — and prices are 6 times higher than they were in the spring.

    A confluence of factors — rapidly rising demand all at once, lower production than expected from Russia, low storage in Europe, lower-than-expected hydro and wind production — are contributing to the problem.

    What could alleviate the crisis? And does this put strain on Europe’s climate ambitions headed into COP26?

    Where Green Hydrogen Is Headed [Special Content] Oct 14, 2021
    Show notes

    Suddenly everyone is talking about green hydrogen.

    From South Africa to the United Arab Emirates. From China to Utah. Governments and developers are eyeing hydrogen as a decarbonization tool.

    But the rush is also raising lots of questions: Where will hydrogen be most useful? How do you create a supply chain to support it? And how can we ensure it has climate integrity?

    For answers, we turned to two experts who are obsessing over the future of hydrogen: Janice Lin and Stephen Lamm.

    Janice Lin is the founder and CEO of Strategen. And she’s president of the green hydrogen coalition.

    Stephen Lamm is the director of sustainability at Bloom Energy, a company deploying zero-carbon solutions like green hydrogen.

    With so much renewed attention on the resource, we brought Janice and Stephen together for a discussion about where green hydrogen tech, markets, and applications are headed.

    What Do Transit Systems Look Like After Covid? Oct 09, 2021
    Show notes

    Ride sharing has swept transportation systems over the last decade -- bringing convenience, but also congestion, inequities, and political fights.

    Now a new category of transportation networking is emerging: TransitTech.

    It makes up a class of companies that are using tech to help maximize public transit systems. So what does TransitTech look like post-pandemic?

    Tiffany Chu joins Katherine and Stephen this week to discuss the path forward for transit. Tiffany is the co-founder and CEO of Remix, which was recently acquired by Via for $100 million.

    We’ll also dig into a new study from Carnegie Mellon University that shows Uber and Lyft are increasing external societal and environmental costs by up to 35% compared to personal car driving.

    We’ll wrap up with a discussion about how transportation will play into upcoming legislation on climate and infrastructure.

    The Hidden Science Behind Decarbonizing Buildings Oct 01, 2021
    Show notes

    All around us, hidden inside our buildings, are a series of choices and tradeoffs -- choices with direct impacts on our health, our money, and our energy use.

    Our buildings are wasteful and are filled with a lot of “embodied” carbon. As a result, buildings directly and indirectly account for 40 percent of global emissions.

    How do we make those choices with better building science?

    And how do we use that science to design carbon out of our buildings?

    This week, Katherine and Stephen are joined by Christine Williamson, the creator of Building Science Fight Club. She is a building scientist who teaches architects how to think more intelligently about designing residential and commercial buildings to improve comfort and energy performance, while minimizing system failures.

    She also has an unconventional take on the green building space — arguing that many of the “feel good” approaches are not necessarily the most functional.

    Christy has spent her career inside homes and commercial buildings using “building forensics” to identify problems with design and operation. So what does an on-the-ground practitioner think about what’s most effective for improving the performance of buildings, and what’s not?

    Will Direct-Air Carbon Capture Be Viable? Sep 21, 2021
    Show notes

    Carbon capture has long been criticized as too nascent, too expensive, and too distracting. Is that changing?

    This month, the Swiss company Climeworks officially launched a direct-air capture plant in Iceland, called Orca.

    The company has already signed deals with SwissRe, Bill Gates, Stripe, and Shopify to sell them credits from the plant. But the tech is still pretty expensive and relatively small scale.

    Climeworks wants to build megaton-scale plants by the end of the decade. Lots of other plants are in the works. So what does this commercial launch signal for the carbon-capture industry?

    Plus, new research shows just how drastically we need to slash fossil fuels to limit dangerous warming.

    And, California tries to fix the busted recycling system with a “truth in advertising” law aimed at plastics companies.

    Power After Carbon Sep 14, 2021
    Show notes

    The electric grid is a central pillar of a zero-carbon economy. But in an era of unrelenting weather extremes, it’s also one of the most fragile.

    This week: what does power after carbon look like?

    Katherine and Stephen are joined by Dr. Peter Fox-Penner, author of a new book called, “Power After Carbon.”

    Peter is the founder of the Boston University Institute of Sustainable Energy. And he’s a partner and chief strategy officer at the VC firm Energy Impact Partners.

    At the turn of the last decade, Peter wrote a book called “Smart Power” that looked at the new pressures that utilities were facing around climate policy, emerging distributed energy, and digitization. We’ll look at what’s changed the most over the last decade.

    Plus, we’ll talk about why Entergy’s resistance to distributed energy in Louisiana created vulnerabilities after Hurricane Ida.

    Why This IPCC Climate Report Is Different Aug 27, 2021
    Show notes

    The world’s most scrutinized and peer-reviewed document is out: the IPCC report on climate change.

    Thousands of scientists have spent decades pouring over every measurement and research report known. The findings are clearer than ever: It is “virtually certain” that the increases in extreme temperatures and droughts are caused by human activity.

    The economic and human toll from climate change is here. So how is this report different from previous IPCC reports?

    Plus, is the push for hydrogen a real pathway, or a clever way to lock in more emissions? We’ll look at the debate over “blue” hydrogen emissions.

    And, how far have the politics of climate really shifted in Washington? Will a change in tone mean a boost in action?

    Katherine Hamilton, Ed Crooks, and Stephen Lacey are this week’s co-hosts.

    Form Energy's Iron-Air Battery for Multi-Day Storage Aug 18, 2021
    Show notes

    This episode originally aired on The Interchange.

    Back in 2016, Mateo Jaramillo left Tesla, where he was leading the stationary energy storage business, and started looking for a new challenge to tackle. He took on long-duration energy storage -- not long duration like 8 hours or 12 hours, but days or weeks or more. In 2017 he came on the show to talk about it.

    He formed a company, now Form Energy, that has been toiling on this problem in stealth mode. Apart from saying they were building a "metal air" battery, his team held the technology close to the vest.

    That is, until last week.

    The company announced a $200M Series D financing led by ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, and in the process finally made public the technology, which is an iron air chemistry.

    Full disclosure: Shayle led Energy Impact Partners’ investment in Form.

    Shayle and Mateo discuss the technology itself and the counterintuitive economics that Mateo believes will make it work. They also examine how it beat out the alternatives and how it might complement more efficient, but more expensive lithium-ion. It turns out financial modeling was far more important than spec sheets in understanding the tradeoffs.

    They tackle the critical question: Where exactly are the profitable applications of this technology before we hit very high 80% renewables?

    They also talk about the semantics of long-duration storage vs. multi-day storage, why Mateo hates holy grails, and potential partnerships with tofu companies.

    As Profits Rise, Oil Majors Face New Pressures Aug 10, 2021
    Show notes

    We started the Covid pandemic at negative oil prices. Today, benchmark prices are above $70. And top oil companies are reporting billions of dollars in profits.

    And now there is more scrutiny than ever on how they’re going to spend that money.

    Activist shareholders are starting to get climate champions on oil major board seats -- most notably, climate tech investor and former wind executive Andy Karsner on Exxon Mobil’s board.

    A dutch court is now forcing Shell to reduce the emissions from its products by 45%, after a successful lawsuit from environmental groups. Oil executives now have their lawyers on speed dial.

    And big asset managers, like BlackRock, which lend to many of the world’s energy giants, are scrutinizing their climate plans.

    So what does it all amount to as oil markets rebound?

    Ed Crooks, the vice chair of Americas at Wood Mackenzie, joins us this week to discuss.

    Plus, we’ll talk about a new report card on America’s infrastructure. It’s a slight improvement, but the grade is still pretty awful.

    And, carbon offsets are going up in flames. Literally. What comes next for forestry offsets?
