We kick off the new year in style with long-time energy journalist Loren Steffy talking about his most recent article in Forbes and whether or not NetZero is realistic or really a front for companies. We also discuss what it’ll take for both renewables and fossil fuel companies to come together – or better yet – will they? And Steffy, who’s been in Houston for more than 25 years, tells us why Houston is important to The Energy Transition – and its role moving forward. The veteran scribe also dishes on his writing career and his latest novel as well. It’s a great listen – Happy 2022 All!

A global citizen and sustainability Guru, Elizabeth Carlson is in the perfect spot as Chief Sustainability Officer at Tricon Energy. With more than a decade of experience working internationally and for powerhouse corporations, Carlson turns her attention at Tricon to creating a program for a commodity trading company in an industry that hasn’t always engaged renewable energy and net zero goals. With Carlson, not only is she the right person for the job, but she said one of the reasons she took the job late this year is because of the opportunity to problem solve in an industry – commodity trading – that has all the nuances of oil and gas without the assets and she’s using this blank slate to create a sustainability program that can potentially pace the industry. In addition, Carlson discusses the importance of a circular economy, responsible energy solutions, why there can’t be one way to score ESG and the role data transparency and carbon pricing play in the future – and much more.
