2022 will be the 30th edition of World Water Day. But why was it created in the first place? Well, the United Nations struggled to bring Water and Sanitation for all, so they set a reminder for everyone. World Water Day should shine a light on the progress (or not) towards the Goal that's encompassed today within the UN SDG 6. The problem is that for many, World Water Day is rather "just" a celebration. Is it wrong to celebrate Water? Of course not! But we should not forget either that 26% of humanity still does not have access to safe drinking water. And that 44% of the World's wastewater is still untreated! So how do we collectively ensure that World Water Day 2022 is the last one? ➡️ Have a look here for some hints: https://youtu.be/cfLI3rIhfRk ➡️ And don't miss the next Water Show to share some better brains' ideas on how to solve the World's water challenges: https://youtu.be/NhvCT6XppLM Wanna join the discussion?

Alena Fargere explains how in the complex equation of a decarbonized world, hydrogen brings a welcome additional energy carrier. Unleashing the Hydrogen Economy will involve a combination of incentives, finance, and technologies, that SWEN Capital commits to unleash! 🎙️ Alena Fargere is Principal at SWEN Capital Partners and co-founder of the first European investment fund dedicated to renewable gases.: "S4E18 - Is the Hydrogen Economy actually an Astounding Investment Opportunity?"

As the World needs to decarbonize, Hydrogen gets often portrayed as an incredible solution. An energy carrier, 100% carbon-free to power the new nexus? Well, carbon-free, that's swiftly said. But is it true? Today, 98.7% of the world's hydrogen is produced from... fossil fuels. Which in turn, makes it a pretty carbon-intensive good. Hence, before using Hydrogen to decarbonize the World, we'll better first decarbonize... Hydrogen! Now, that also is faster said than done. From Blue to Green through Pink and Turquoise, Hydrogen exists in a Rainbow. But are all colors born equal? What's the one we shall bet on? Where shall we use hydrogen in the future? How? I started this investigation with a precious helper: BlueTech Research's insight report on the hydrogen economy. Along the way, I met with very knowledgeable experts, like Paul Martin, Alena Fargere, and Geoff Ward. These are the ones that will guide us in the Hydrogen Trilogy currently airing on the podcast!

There's Water everywhere around you... and good chances that you never noticed it! Industrial applications consume a lot of water (about 20% of the World's overall consumption), yet Industrial Water is rarely a focus for Industry operators. And that may become a major weakness for them: when Water Scarcity limits the availability of Water, Industries have to reduce their activity or shut down (like it recently happened in Taïwan) What can Industrial players do about it? Well probably, reuse more water. But also simply raise their awareness of their dependency on Water as an integral part of their bottom line. ➡️ Go the extra mile with the Video I tease you in this episode on industrial water! ➡️ Wanna dive more into the topic of Industrial Water?

What if we looked at water infrastructure with a fresh eye? In the past, we had centralized systems that made a lot of sense, for scale reasons. But now that we have process automation and digitization to support our efforts, wouldn't we have better options than laying pipes in the ground and pumping water around? That's the idea with distributed treatments: bring water treatment closer to the point of use (and the point of "pollution"). Shorter loops, higher efficiencies, and a bright potential for water reuse (➡️ check out this deep dive to that extent ) This short deep dive takes you through the basics of distributed treatment.

Do Water Entrepreneurs have the potential to change the World? Probably! But today, they often struggle to cross the Valley of Death - for many reasons. Water Entrepreneurship is a beast of its own, as many of my guests already shared on this very microphone. Yet, there are some cheat codes to put all the odds on your side! How to maximize your impact and make a lot of profit? I've asked the ones that experienced it first hand in the Water Sector. Like, advice from repeat entrepreneurs that successfully exited multiple water ventures. Or hints from the investment funds that finance their growth. Same with start-up accelerators, Water Industry advisors, and the best surveyors in this very special world. Will you succeed if you apply all of this advice? No one can guarantee it. But what's for sure is, that your water enterprise, your venture as a water entrepreneur, or your run as an impact founder won't be a success if you DON'T follow these hints.
