Watt Matters: The FORESIGHT energy transition podcast

Off the back of an intense two weeks in Egypt, the COP27 negotiations were once again deemed underwhelming. There were some successes: Developed countries will provide finance to emerging economies affected by climate-related disasters. But much of the focus remained on climate adaptation rather than mitigation. After nearly 30 years of international climate talks, questions are being raised over the efficacy of these events and what value they hold as the global community seeks to decarbonise. This week the team is joined by Simon Evans, deputy editor and senior policy editor at Carbon Brief, a website specialising in the science and policy of climate change, to discuss his experiences of the talks, what needs to be done to truly begin phasing out damaging fossil fuels from the global economy, and the power of social media in the debate around the energy transition.

Heating is becoming an increasingly pivotal issue in the energy transition, especially as we enter a winter where many of us are thinking twice about when to put the heating on in our homes. However, sustainable heating solutions seem absent in the EU’s response to the energy crisis.District heating & cooling (DHC) networks are one of the most efficient solutions to lower emissions from our buildings. But its decarbonisation potential is still untapped, as most of the heat in these networks is still produced with fossil fuels. In this episode, we look into the policy incentives needed to decarbonise our heating systems and how the EU can make the most of the potential of DHC.This week's guest is Aurélie Beauvais, Managing Director at Brussels-based association Euroheat & Power. She previously held the position of Deputy CEO and Policy Director of SolarPower Europe from 2017 to 2021. She also headed the European Affairs department of the French Union of Electricity from 2012 to 2017.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week's episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Aurélie Beauvais: https://twitter.com/ABClimateMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenowDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHTAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPodFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

The electrification of the transport sector is one of the most dynamic areas in the global energy transition, as sales of electric vehicles (EVs) globally continue to rise. According to the International Energy Agency, EV sales doubled in 2021 compared with 2020, to a new record of 6.6 million EVs on the road. Nearly 10% of global care sales in 2021 were electric, four times the market share in 2019.However, the deployment of EV charging infrastructure has not been able to keep up with the boom in EV sales. There is still an overall sense of range anxiety among prospective customers over how far one can drive their car before needing to find a charging spot or risk being stranded. In turn, governments across the globe are enacting policies to speed up EV deployment, but will the scale-up happen fast enough to reach our climate objectives?In this episode, we speak with Marc Coltelli, EY Americas eMobility Energy Leader, and Felipe Smolka, Partner and EY Americas Automotive eMobility Leader, on the challenges to accelerate the uptake of EVs and its charging infrastructure and how we can move from range anxiety to charging confidence.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week's episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Marc Coltelli: https://mobile.twitter.com/marccoltelliFelipe Smolka: https://twitter.com/fsmolkMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenowDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHTAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPodFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

In response to the energy price crisis, EU national governments have been grappling with finding the proper measures to reduce their energy demand and alleviate consumers and industry from high prices without harming the energy companies’ ability to continue investing.However, a European problem requires a European response. For this reason, the European Commission has proposed several measures, such as ‘solidarity contributions’ from fossil fuel companies or caps on utility revenues. In turn, Brussels is now to propose a widespread reform of the EU’s electricity market.In this episode of Watt Matters, we make sense of the short and long-term measures that Brussels is looking into, and the effect on energy utilities, with Marion Labatut, deputy director for European Affairs and Head of the Brussels office at French energy company EDF. Are these short-term taxes on energy companies effective? And what should an electricity market fit for the future look like?Labatut draws from twelve years of professional experience in energy and climate policy for government entities, a trade association and the private sector. She previously served as Policy Director at Eurelectric, the Brussels-based European power sector trade body, where she occupied several managerial and expert roles over six years.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week's episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Marion Labatut: https://twitter.com/MarionLabatutMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenowDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHTAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPodFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

The risk of a widening skills gap in the energy transition is one of the most underestimated challenges for the global energy transition. But as Europe moves to install more solar panels, heat pumps, and EV charging points, electrical contractors will be in increasing demand.The lack of skilled workers and electrical installers is starting to be felt in Europe: in Germany, 60% of electrical contractors have vacancies. While in the UK, electrical contractors will need 15,000 new apprentices, in addition to regular market intake, to cover its needs over the next five years. There are several reasons why this is happening, from the perception that these are low-level positions to the lack of women in this sector.In this episode, we speak with Julie Beaufils, Secretary General at the European Electrical Contractors’ Association EuropeOn, on why addressing this skills gap matters and how EU policies can bridge that. Julie is in charge of the Skills4Climate campaign, raising awareness of the shortages in skilled professionals, an issue that will considerably weigh on Europe’s ability to deliver the energy transition.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week's episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Julie Beaufils: https://twitter.com/EuropeOn_EUMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenowDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHTAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPodFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

The role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is perhaps one of the most divisive topics in the global energy transition. Economic and financial constraints are often cited as the main reasons why these technologies have never scaled up, as the cost of carbon globally has not yet reached the price needed to make them profitable. Moreover, CCS also needs to gain greater public acceptance in many regions and sectors in society.However, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) acknowledges the need to capture and remove carbon from the atmosphere and calls for a unified CCS strategy at European level have increased. But is carbon capture a proven and well-established technology and what is needed for its scale-up?This week, we discuss carbon capture technologies with Lee Beck, senior director for Europe at the Clean Air Task Force, a US-based non-profit organisation. Lee leads the task force’s cross-functional, cross-regional, and cross-programmatic growth and climate policy impact in Europe.Show notes:- The big idea: should cars be banned from cities? https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jul/11/the-big-idea-should-cars-be-banned-from-cities- People Hate the Idea of Car-Free Cities—Until They Live in One | WIRED UK: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/car-free-cities-opposition- Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2021: https://www.irena.org/publications/2022/Jul/Renewable-Power-Generation-Costs-in-2021- West Virginia v.

Environmental think-tank Ember found that 70-80% of the power system in Europe—including the EU27, Norway, Switzerland, the UK, and the Western Balkan countries—could be supplied by wind and solar generation, while relegating fossil fuels to under 5% of its total consumption.Ditching fossil fuels could save Europe as much as €1 trillion by 2035. This would bring numerous benefits for public health and the citizens’ pockets, as well as put the continent on track to achieve its environmental objectives.In this episode, we discuss with Ember’s senior energy and climate data analyst Chris Rosslowe how to make the transition to a clean power sector in Europe happen. Chris specialises in clean energy systems and in his role at Ember uses future energy scenarios to provide insights and key data to track and guide the transition from fossil to clean. He previously held roles in the UK Civil Service analysing energy and environmental policy and holds a PhD in astrophysics.Show notes:- Innovation Fund: EU invests €1.8 billion in clean tech projects: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_4402- Pathways to European Independence from Russian Natural Gas | Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/6812163#.Ys64x3bMK5c- Redesign Around Notre-Dame to Keep Tourists Moving and Lower Temperatures: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/27/world/europe/notre-dame-cathedral-paris.html?referringSource=articleShare- New Generation | Clean Power Europe 2035 | Ember: https://ember-climate.org/insights/research/new-generation/TRY FULL ACCESS TO FORESIGHT CLIMATE & ENERGY FOR €1 A DAYJoin over 100,000 policymakers, energy experts in business, finance, and academia, city leaders, and leading NGOs in having access to FORESIGHT Climate & EnergyGET YOUR 30 DAY TRIAL: www.foresightdk.com/subscribe/.

Private capital investments are crucial to close the financing ‘gap’ in the global race to net-zero emissions.The world’s major economies and their financial institutions are taking different approaches to mobilise climate finance. The European Parliament has just endorsed the inclusion of gas and nuclear investments as "green" in the EU’s taxonomy regulation for sustainable investments. We discuss the implications of this decision for global markets and whether a taxonomy is the best approach to mobilise climate finance in the first place.In this episode, we are joined by Marilyn Waite, head of the Climate Finance Fund, focusing on mobilising capital for climate solutions. We take a look at the EU taxonomy, but also dive into how other major economies are addressing this challenge and the need to have a ‘JEDI’ (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) lens into climate finance.Marilyn has previously managed the climate and clean energy finance portfolio at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, led the energy practice at Village Capital, modelled and forecasted energy solutions to climate change as a Senior Research Fellow at Project Drawdown and managed innovation projects at French energy company AREVA (now Orano and Framatome).Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

The Biden administration was meant to bring renewed momentum for climate action in the US, with ambitious plans to deploy low-carbon technologies and to embed climate policy into other policy areas.However, one year and a half on, Washington is still struggling to pass ambitious legislation, with several key bills that have the potential to significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions stalled in Congress and the Senate. The US has a huge challenge ahead to build the massive infrastructure required to make the energy transition happen and to achieve a net-zero carbon grid.This week, we discuss these and many other topics such as Europe’s energy crisis with Jesse Jenkins, an assistant professor at Princeton University with a joint appointment in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Andlinger Center for Energy and Environment.Jesse also leads the Princeton ZERO Lab - a zero-carbon energy systems research and optimisation laboratory, which conducts research to improve decision-making to accelerate rapid, affordable, and effective transitions to net-zero carbon energy systems.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

With the current trio of crises facing many consumers around the world—high energy prices, the fallout of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and climate change—energy efficiency is on everyone’s lips. But to actually make these changes necessary, a greater level of dialogue is required to strengthen the narrative around energy efficiency.Recorded at the IEA’s conference on energy efficiency in Sønderborg, Denmark, our guests this week are Paula Glover, president of the Alliance to Save Energy, Melanie Slade, senior programme manager for energy efficiency in emerging economies at the International Energy Agency, and Andrea Voigt, head of global public affairs at Danfoss.The panellists agree the key to upgrading energy efficiency with consumers is selecting the correct narrative with the arguments—and policies—that work each region.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

The energy transition will only work if we engage consumers. The energy price crisis has made it clear that energy poverty is not a niche issue anymore, as more households are struggling to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature and use their electric appliances.Measures to alleviate consumers from high price hikes are featuring prominently in the political agenda of several EU member states. Monique Goyens, director-general at the European consumer organisation BEUC, says that tackling energy poverty requires systemic thinking. Social measures are needed in the short term, but a massive change in energy efficiency support and the rollout of renewables are crucial.We discuss with Monique Goyens how consumers are taking an increasingly active role in our energy systems. She has been at BEUC since 2007 and previously worked as secretary-general at the University Commission for Development. Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts!

The complex nature of our energy systems requires all sectors and actors to stop thinking in silos and develop a “whole system” approach to make the energy transition happen.This week, we dive deep into how more governments are putting forward system-wide approaches in energy policymaking and whether policy and regulation are keeping up with the fast-paced developments in technologies that can help us build a more integrated energy system.The team is joined by Ditlev Engel, CEO of Energy Systems at DNV, to discuss how to apply systems thinking to the energy transition. Engel was also Denmark’s Special Envoy for Climate and Energy in the lead up to UN Climate Summit in September 2019 in New York.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts!

Lawmakers around the globe have spoken extensively about energy efficiency. However, there is an increasing interest in policy and academic circles around sufficiency: these are often labelled as demand-side measures or changes to individual habits that reduce our use of energy and natural resources.In this episode, we look into how governments and EU policy instruments are addressing sufficiency measures and to which extent they are successful or not. While Europe has made progress in unrolling technical energy efficiency measures, there is still a clear lack of sufficiency measures needed to tackle the climate crisis.Sufficiency efforts have often faced resistance as individual behavioural change is sometimes seen as a loss of quality of life, particularly for the most vulnerable consumers. This requires a fundamental change in the narrative, says this week's guest Yamina Saheb.

Much of the power across Eastern Europe is still supplied by destructive coal power plants. However, many of these markets across the region also have considerable renewables potential. Untapping this resource would unleash the energy transition for these countries but it remains complex and costly.Until the start of 2022, natural gas was seen as a vital stepping stone for the region to begin decarbonising before shifting entirely to renewables, but the war in Ukraine has placed a spotlight on this assumption.In this episode, we are joined by Monica Morawiecka from the Regulatory Assistance Project, who previously spent very many years at Polish utility PGE, and by Julian Popov, a fellow of the European Climate Foundation, chair of the Buildings Performance Institute Europe, a member of European Council on Foreign Relations and who previously served as Minister of Environment and Water for Bulgaria.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts!

The use of hydrogen as part of our future energy mix has been debated for several years. For it to have any future, in a decarbonised economy, hydrogen must come in its “green” guise—produced using renewables-powered electrolysis.While there has been a lot of noise, investment and even some pilot projects launched, green hydrogen’s role in a decarbonised economy of the future has yet to be truly defined and it is a topic that creates strong views.In this week’s episode, the team is joined by Gniewomir Flis from Energy Revolution Ventures who has previously worked alongside Michaela as project manager for Hydrogen at Agora Energiewende. In our discussion, we examine what is behind the hype that surrounds green hydrogen, its future in the energy landscape and what it means for the renewables sector.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts!

Energy efficiency has often been overlooked as a key tool in the energy transition. Talk instead frequently focuses on how to add more renewables or remove polluting forms of power generation but never on what can we do to reduce demand in the first place.By using energy more efficiently, we can reduce our demand. This immediately cuts emissions but also makes reaching renewable energy targets significantly easier and cheaper.This week we are joined by Peter Sweatman, chief executive at Climate Strategy & Partners. Peter is a former JP Morgan executive but has worked in the energy efficiency sector for over a decade.In our discussion, we touch on why energy efficiency is a vital element of the energy transition and how best to mobilise investment to energy efficiency solutions so that everyone can benefit.

The decarbonisation of the heating sector is subject to serious debate. With lots of potential options on the tables, choosing the correct pathway is difficult. Heat pumps, powered by renewables, seems to be the favoured option for the majority of Europe’s buildings, but their rollout is slow.District heating and combined heat and power generation are proven alternatives, while the role of the incumbent natural gas is unclear. If it cannot be part of our energy future, is there an effective substitute?In this week’s episode of Watt Matters, the team are joined by Alix Chambris, vice president of global public affairs and sustainability at Viessmann, a German manufacturer of heating and cooling systems, and Brian Vad Mathiesen, professor of smart energy systems at Aalborg University in Denmark.We discuss the best ways to decarbonise heating, whether it is a good idea that green hydrogen technologies take on some of the heating demand and how the war in Ukraine is changing perceptions.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts!

Our guest this week is Kristian Ruby, secretary-general of Eurelectric, to discuss what role the energy market can play in shutting off Russian influence, what that means for energy consumers across Europe and the energy transition.The fallout from Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine will be felt for many years to come across all areas of society.While the questions over Europe’s dependency on Russian oil and gas—and whether it has been a millstone around the neck of the energy transition—have been around for many years, there is now new political momentum to shut off the supply and end this dependency.Can Europe go it alone and what does it mean for the shift to a decarbonised economy – and the economy in general?Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts!

This week, Jan, Michaela and David are joined by Jorge Vasconcelos, chair of New Energy Solutions (NEWES) and part of the Florence School of Regulation. Jorge tells us how electricity market design is essential in getting clean energy to where it is needed.In today’s episode, we are looking into electricity market design. A vital part of the energy transition, market design can make or break a country’s decarbonisation efforts.You can have all the renewable energy you need, but without an effective market in which to sell the power, this time, effort and investment would be wasted leaving the energy transition to grind to a halt.Meanwhile, the last few months have seen huge increases in power prices across Europe. Is this the sign of a broken market or a symptom of something much bigger? Paired with more distributed energy resources, the rise of the prosumer and digitalisation, the electricity market is having to adapt rapidly.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts!

Whichever way you look at it, Germany is going to play a highly significant role if Europe is to meet its climate targets by 2050. After 16 years of rule by Angela Merkel came to an end at the end of 2021, where climate policies increasingly took a back seat, a new coalition government, lead by Olaf Scholz, has placed decarbonisation of the economy at the centre of the cross-party agreement. Europe's largest economy is aiming to reach net-zero by 2045 - but can the country achieve this and how? And can Germany then also lead from the front on the international stage? This week, Jan, Michaela and David are joined by Claudia Kemfort, professor of energy economics and energy policy at the German Institute for Economic Research and Leuphana University to discuss how Germany's new government, and its economy, are tackling the energy transition.

To advance the energy transition, utilities are a vital part of getting clean energy to where it is needed at the times it is needed. Whether it is helping integrate EVs or heat pumps, or to protect consumers from sudden price increases, utilities can make a significant contribution to decarbonise the energy system.This week, the team is joined by Greg Jackson, founder and CEO of Octopus Energy, a UK utility with nearly 2.5 million customers, placing it among the largest power companies in the country. In our discussion with Greg, we discuss the energy price crisis, the role of consumers, digitalisation and heat pumps.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

From FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, Watt Matters is a podcast all about the energy transition and the shift to a decarbonised economy.In this episode, David, Michaela and Jan discuss where we are, how we got here and where we are going as the global economy continues its quest to ditch carbon emissions by mid-century. The idea of an energy transition has gained a lot of traction in the last few years, having barely been spoken about just a few years ago. The levers of the energy transition are varied but this indicates the interconnectedness of the shift to net zero, which is why this podcast was launched: to connect the dots of the energy transition and show how it is all interrelated.
