Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero ¿Hidrógeno “muerto” o simple pausa estratégica? El (duro) reality check tras el portazo de Stellantis La conversación sobre el hidrógeno en automoción vuelve a calentarse. Stellantis ha decidido “frenar” —no exactamente parar— sus inversiones en pilas de combustible para turismos y furgonetas, y el movimiento ha encendido todas las alarmas: ¿estamos ante el fracaso de la tecnología o solo ante una recolocación táctica del dinero y los plazos? En AutoFM debatimos largo y tendido: costes, infraestructuras, viabilidad técnica, heavy duty, green hydrogen, geopolítica… Aquí tienes las claves, ordenadas y sin anestesia. 1) El golpe sobre la mesa de Stellantis (y el enfado de sus socios) El consorcio que impulsaba el hidrógeno con Stellantis, Michelin y una gran química francesa ha descarrilado por la vía más dolorosa: Stellantis se baja del carro. No pondrá un euro más en la tecnología para turismos y LCV, y se centra en el 100% eléctrico a baterías. El problema no es solo industrial: Michelin y compañía han invertido cifras mareantes en I+D y se quedan (por ahora) sin el “comercializador” natural de esos desarrollos. ¿Cierre total? No exactamente. En el comunicado se habla de “frenar inversiones” (palabras medidas cuando hay Estado francés detrás). Traducción posible: no es rentable a corto/medio plazo, pero quizá se mantenga el pulso en ámbitos donde el hidrógeno aún puede tener encaje. 2) ¿Tecnología muerta? Depende a quién preguntes (y para qué segmento) Europa se repliega. Pero en Asia no lo ven así: • Toyota sigue apostando —con prudencia— por el hidrógeno. • Hyundai lleva más de 36.000 Nexo vendidos: no es masivo, pero tampoco humo. • BMW continúa explorando (con menos ruido, sí, pero sin bajarse del todo). Ahora bien, ¿qué significa “apostar”? ¿Cuántos ingenieros, cuántos millones, cuánta hoja de ruta real hay detrás? Los fabricantes no detallan cifras y crecen las dudas: puede que el foco se desplace hacia el transporte pesado, marítimo o ferroviario, donde la densidad energética y los tiempos de repostaje del hidrógeno tienen más sentido. 3) La aritmética no sale (todavía): costes, precios y (falta de) red • Toyota Mirai: >70.000 €. • Repostar: 10–15 €/kg → unos 100 € por depósito. • Hidrogeneras públicas en España: unas 4 (y muchas son proyectos piloto). • Puntos de recarga eléctrica: miles. Con este panorama, entenderás por qué Stellantis llama a la prudencia: no hay escala, no hay red, y los costes de producción del hidrógeno verde siguen siendo altísimos. Para colmo, Aramco —uno de los gigantes fósiles mundiales— ha parado su megaplanta de hidrógeno verde en Neom (Arabia Saudí) por falta de demanda y compromisos firmes de compra. Mala señal. 4) Hidrógeno verde: el unicornio que todos desean (y casi nadie puede pagar) • Producirlo es caro y requiere mucha electricidad renovable. • Transportarlo y almacenarlo es complejo: comprimir, licuar, convertir en amoníaco… todo cuesta energía y dinero. • Se habla de “bolsas naturales de hidrógeno” bajo tierra, pero no hay nada serio (aún): lo encontrado es escaso y de baja calidad. 5) Realidad española: 17 millones de diésel vs. 235.000 eléctricos Mientras discutimos si el hidrógeno sí o no, las cifras del parque español dan perspectiva: • ~17 millones de diésel en circulación. • ~235.000 eléctricos puros. Sí, el eléctrico crece y el diésel cae, pero vivimos aún en un país térmico. Y eso también condiciona prioridades de inversión pública y privada: ¿dónde pones el dinero si necesitas descarbonizar “ya” con impacto masivo? 6) ¿Fracaso o “reset”? El matiz importa Llamarlo “fracaso” quizá sea precipitado. En turismos, hoy, sí es un no-go (coste, red, eficiencia, economía de escala). Pero: • En transporte pesado (carretera, marítimo, aviación) el hidrógeno tiene papeletas. • El aprendizaje tecnológico (celdas, almacenamiento, logística, normativas) no se tira a la basura. • La historia del Prius nos enseñó que a veces las apuestas impopulares cambian el sector… décadas después. 7) Lo que (de verdad) está diciendo el mercado ahora mismo • Baterías: mandan en turismos. • Híbridos: mandan en las ventas a corto plazo por coste, usabilidad y red. • Hidrógeno: espera su oportunidad en segmentos profesionales, de largo recorrido, alta demanda energética o imposibilidad técnica de baterías grandes. El hidrógeno no ha muerto, pero ha perdido —por ahora— la batalla del coche particular Stellantis ha puesto en negro sobre blanco lo que muchos pensaban en privado: hoy, no salen las cuentas. El hidrógeno no es competitivo en el turismo, no tiene red, y producirlo de forma limpia es carísimo. Pero llamarlo fracaso es cerrar puertas antes de tiempo. Asia sigue empujando, el transporte pesado lo necesita, y el hidrógeno verde tiene potencial… si conseguimos producirlo barato, limpio y a gran escala. Hasta entonces, lo más sensato es lo que mostró el debate: menos épica y más pragmatismo. Como siempre, seguiremos contando la evolución —sin dogmas ni trincheras— aquí, en AutoFM. “De sabios es rectificar.” Y en la transición energética, de sensatos, Todos los podcast: https://www.podcastmotor.es Twitter: @AutoFmRadio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autofmradio/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AutoFM Contacto: info@autofm.es

Lance Stroll's future at Aston Martin has never looked shakier.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsToday I break down the mounting pressure surrounding Lance Stroll. Yes, that again! This time it's his candid radio outbursts and post-race frustrations which are the focus; the dramatic shift in Aston Martin's ambitions with new sponsors and legendary figures like Adrian Newey joining the team could be the Canadian's undoing. His public attitude and “checked out” demeanor are clashing with the team's vision could be out of step with the deals with Honda, Aramco and major investors . These folks demand top-tier professionalism, motivation and results...which many doubt Lance can deliver for 2026. Fernando Alonso's energy and resilience only highlights Stroll's growing disconnect even more!!With George Russell being linked to his seat and team management surely losing patience with negative attitudes, the countdown to a major shakeup could be on.

B2B is big business for sports rights holders. But why are business-to-business brands paying billions in sport sponsorship rights? From the IOC to Formula One, categories such as consulting, accountancy, logistics, financial services and tech are growing rapidly.  In the IOC's programme, Deloitte and Allianz replaced Dow and GE as TOP Olympic sponsors.  IBM's technology partnerships with Toronto sports teams, VMware's McLaren Formula One partnership, and Dell China's Chinese Olympics rowing team sponsorship.  In F1, major B2B partners include DHL (logistics), Globant (digital services), American Express (financial services), and TAG Heuer (luxury/precision timing)Teams feature extensive B2B partnerships including Cognizant, Microsoft, Siemens, Aramco, and numerous technology and consulting firmsWhat are they buying, and how is sport targeting them? Leigh Curyer, CEO and founder of NexGen Energy, explains why his company's partnership with Aston Martin Formula 1 team prioritizes technology transfer and investor access over brand visibility. "Branding would be the last criteria for why we have that partnership."Joining Leigh is Nick Djounov, Head of Valuation at Gemba London. Together, they expose how B2B brands are finding arbitrage opportunities while B2C companies pay premium prices for billboard space.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Benjamin Netanyahu, primer ministro de Israel, se refirió al plan para eliminar al líder supremo de Irán, y afirmó que no va a intensificar el conflicto: “No va a intensificar el conflicto, sino a ponerle fin. Llevamos medio siglo de conflicto propagado por este régimen que aterroriza a todo el mundo en Oriente Medio, ha bombardeado los campos petrolíferos de Aramco en Arabia Saudí y está propagando el terrorismo, la subversión y el sabotaje por doquier. Irán quiere una guerra eterna, y nos está llevando al borde de una guerra nuclear. De hecho, lo que Israel está haciendo es impedirlo, poner fin a esta agresión. Y solo podemos lograrlo enfrentándonos a las fuerzas del mal”.El jefe de Gabinete, Guillermo Francos, se refirió a la detención de Cristina Kirchner prevista para este miércoles: “Yo entiendo que la justicia va a poner en conocimiento al gobierno nacional para que se tomen las medidas de seguridad que corresponden, ¿no? Y el gobierno está preparado porque digamos que en el año y medio que llevamos de gobierno ha habido algunas situaciones de tensión que han sido dominadas por las fuerzas de seguridad”.Máximo Kirchner aseguró:  “Les molesta ver bailar a una mujer en un balcón con su pueblo. Que aparte no deberían enojarse porque lo que termina sucediendo finalmente es que un montón de personas, que desde diferentes ámbitos vieron afectadas positivamente su vida por sus gobiernos y también por el de Néstor, se acercan a ella a darle una muestra de amor, de reconocimiento, de que no está sola. Es como, bueno, me acompañaste y te acompaño, ¿no?”.Antonio Laje señaló: “¿Qué va a pasar con la notificación? La verdad es que por ahora es un misterio. Sigue sosteniendo Cristina Fernández que va a ir el miércoles a Comodoro Py. No hay horario previsto y el gobierno que le está pidiendo la justicia, lo que venimos nosotros pidiendo hace rato, notifíquenla vía firma digital Zoom y punto. Porque la verdad, ¿para qué vas a movilizarla? Con todo lo que va a significar una marcha que está llamando la propia Cristina Fernández a que se haga desde sus espacios, desde los sindicatos, organizaciones sociales”.Lilia Lemoine sostuvo: “¿Cómo puede ser que sometamos a toda la población que vive alrededor de esa casa para que ella cumpla domiciliaria? todo bien, me parece que es injusto para todo el resto de los ciudadanos no tendría que estar ahí, y me sorprende que ningún vecino de algún balcón no haya salido a regar la vereda con la manguera de agua fría, ya que estamos en invierno no quiero darles ideas para que lo vayan a hacer no, que no lo hagan no se les ocurra salir con una manguera al balcón y limpiar la calle justo cuando están todos los kirchneristas haciendo murga en la puerta de la casa de Cristina”.Noticias del martes 17 de junio por María O'Donnell y equipo de De Acá en Más por Urbana Play 104.3 FMSeguí a De Acá en Más en Instagram y XUrbana Play 104.3 FM.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we dive into three powerful stories shaping the global hydrogen economy:

In a landmark episode of The Twenty30 Podcast, co-hosts Lucien Zeigler and Dr. Hanaa Almoaibed sat down in person for an exclusive interview with Suliman Almazroua, CEO of Saudi Arabia's National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP), one of the 13 powerful ‘Vision Realization Programs' identified as “the driving force behind Vision 2030.” A former Aramco executive with decades of experience at the intersection of technology and operations, Almazroua was tapped to lead NIDLP during a critical moment for Saudi Arabia's industrial transformation. Under his leadership, NIDLP has made remarkable progress — with over half of its Vision 2030 targets already completed five years ahead of schedule.  The interview covers a wide spectrum — from Vision 2030 and sectoral innovation to workforce development and Saudi Arabia's push toward private-sector competitiveness. Where once industries leaned heavily on government support, today, companies are being challenged to rise above, develop competitive strategies, and deliver real market value. NIDLP is helping drive this evolution, particularly in sectors like logistics, where Saudi Arabia is actively disrupting traditional global models and introducing new efficiencies. The hosts also ask Suliman about the development of some of key sectors under NIDLP's administration, including mining, industrial development, logistics, Saudi supply chains, and AI - and how he views Saudi talent and capabilities as a critical component of both his current and future success with NIDLP. The interview is the first in an expansion of The TWENTY30 podcast to feature in-person, revealing conversations with the leaders and changemakers driving Saudi Arabia's transformation forward.

Chris Britt-Searle is a passionate volunteer with The Next Test. This UK-based nonprofit is becoming a vital hub for players, clubs, and fans committed to addressing the environmental challenges facing cricket.In this thought-provoking discussion, Chris shares the story behind The Next Test and offers insights into the organisation's role in uniting the cricketing community to confront ecological issues. We examine the current status of cricket in the face of climate change and explore how players, sports organisations, and governing bodies contribute to helping (or hindering) sustainable change. Our conversation also touches on the complexities of partnerships with environmental activist groups, the challenges posed by high-carbon sponsorships, and the broader implications of ecological uncertainty on the growth and development of cricket worldwide.This episode goes beyond the boundaries (all puns intended) of the game, challenging assumptions and offering a look at cricket's potential to lead in the fight against climate change. Whether you are a player, fan, or simply curious about the intersection of sports and sustainability, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.This episode was recorded in November 2024.Support the showPlease feel free to reach out to the show onWeb: sustainingsport.comInstagram: @sustainingsportLinkedin: /sustaining-sportFacebook: @sustainingsportTwitter: @SustainSportPodNow on Bluesky /sustainingsport.bsky.socialor contact us at: benmole@sustainingsport.com

Well well well look who's back! In episode 45 of The TWENTY30, the hosts catch up at the start to talk about the start of Ramadan, leading to a discussion about how the month typically changes lives, working hours, and of course, dining habits for Saudis. After the hosts catch up from a short break, Hanaa leads a DEEPDIVE into Saudi Arabia's booming nonprofit sector, which is ahead of Vision 2030 targets and increasingly contributing to Saudi Arabia's GDP. A new report, "Prospects for the Non-Profit Sector 2025," prepared by the King Khalid Foundation, highlights that the sector has exceeded SR100 billion in economic contribution for the first time, a major milestone. The non-profit sector now contributes equivalent to 3.3 percent of Saudi GDP. After the DEEPDIVE, the host catch up on some of the latest news, including a row between PIF and PWC, AI in Saudi Arabia, Aramco's dividend, an expansion for the popular MDLBeast events company, and more. 

This week on aBlogtoWatchWeekly, Rick reveals that he's now deputy director of theFBI (now that podcast hosts can hold such roles), and Ripley confirms that Rickis a solid enough conspiracy theorist that.... well, it works. Rick thenannounces that this will be an "F1 episode," and it's hard to knowwhat that might mean. One clue is the red robin on which F1 team each teammember likes best. When talk turns to watches, first up is the IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar in Green, and Rickshakes things up by starting with "Judge the Collab." The news isn'tgreat. Back to the F1 theme, we pivot to the eyebrow game of the Aramco team.David then departs for the airport after speed-packing just off-screen.Fiiiiiinally, it's back to watches with a look at the hands-on review of the Tudor Black Bay Chrono "Flamingo Blue" Watch. And there's some hemming and hawing about the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy Watch.Ripley calls it by recollecting that "the road to hell is paved with goodintentions." Rick closes the show by introducing his new theme song forthe F1 Champions League. Tune in!

17th Feb: Blockchain DXB Podcast

What's next for OKRs in 2025? As goal-setting evolves, organizations are rethinking their approach to strategy, execution, and performance. In this episode, Sara sits down with OKR experts Natalie Webb and Maria Rowcliffe to unpack the latest trends—from the role of generative AI to the shifting landscape of OKR localization and performance management. Whether you're an OKR veteran or just getting started, these insights will help you stay ahead of the curve. Episode Highlights: How generative AI is reshaping OKR creation and workshop efficiency The shift away from rigid OKR cascading toward functional team-level alignment Why OKRs should not be directly tied to performance evaluations or compensation The biggest mistakes organizations make when implementing OKRs—and how to avoid them The evolving role of OKRs in strategy execution and business impact What to expect from the future of OKRs in 2025 and beyond Key Concepts Explored: Generative AI in OKR Practice Role of AI in data analytics and predictive modeling AI as an enabler vs. driver of outcomes Practical applications in OKR workshops Limitations and considerations Modern OKR Localization Shift from cascading to hybrid approaches L1-L2 alignment strategies Bottom-up contribution methods Functional team focus OKR Integration Separation of delivery work and outcomes Project management integration Performance management considerations Leading indicator identification Implementation Strategy Starting points for organizations Common pitfalls to avoid Methodology vs. tool selection Change management considerations Episode Chapters 00:00:00 - Introduction and welcome 00:01:00 - Book announcement: "You Are a Strategist" 00:04:00 - Guest introductions 00:08:00 - Generative AI's impact on OKRs 00:17:00 - Using AI tools in OKR workshops 00:21:00 - Evolution of OKR localization 00:33:00 - Discussion of individual KRs 00:41:00 - OKRs and performance management 00:47:00 - First steps for OKR implementation Notable Quotes "Generative AI is an enabler, not a driver. It's a tool that supports goal-setting, but the real work still comes down to humans collaborating, making great decisions, and executing." – Maria Rowcliffe "If we set our OKRs well, teams should feel empowered to say no to work that doesn't align. Prioritization isn't real unless it hurts." – Natalie Webb "One of the hardest parts of OKR creation is identifying leading indicators. AI can help generate ideas, but the real challenge is getting teams to think beyond the obvious KPIs." – Maria Rowcliffe "Not everyone needs their name on a Key Result. This isn't a participation trophy—what matters is understanding how the work contributes to the bigger strategy." – Natalie Webb "If you tie OKRs directly to performance evaluations, you create a system where people set safe goals instead of ambitious ones. That's not what OKRs are meant to do." – Sara Lobkovich Guest Information: Natalie Webb is an OKR expert with nearly eight years of experience in the field. She currently works with Aramco in Saudi Arabia, supporting their digital transformation and AI initiatives. Natalie specializes in helping organizations implement effective OKRs that drive real business impact. Maria Rowcliffe is an organizational behavior specialist with over 30 years of experience in management and strategy execution. Passionate about how organizations and people achieve success, she has worked extensively with OKRs and other strategic frameworks to help businesses align goals and improve execution.

Today, on Speaking Out of Place, we are honored to talk with Munira Khayyat, a Lebanese anthropologist whose book, A Landscape of War: Ecologies of Resistance and Survival in South Lebanon examines what she calls “resistant ecologies in a world of perennial warfare.”  Drawing on long-term fieldwork in frontline villages along Lebanon's southern border with Israel, she examines war not only as a place of death and destruction, but also necessarily, as an environment of living.We appreciate greatly that she was able to join us now, during the massive and deadly new war Israel is waging on Lebanon. Munira shows how this devastation is a continuation of wars Israel has waged against Lebanon for decades, but also how both the Lebanese people and the Lebanese landscape are resisting death and persisting in life.  This episode is especially useful to those wanting to know more about Lebanon, as Professor Khayyat gives us an informative account of the intertwined histories of Lebanon, Palestine, and the State of Israel.Munira Khayyat is an anthropologist whose research revolves around life in war, intimate genealogies of empire, and theory from the South. Her first book, A Landscape of War: Ecologies of Resistance and Survival in South Lebanon (University of California Press 2022) examines resistant ecologies in a world of perennial warfare. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in frontline villages along Lebanon's southern border with Israel, she examines war not only as a place of death and destruction, but also necessarily, as an environment of living.Khayyat is currently working on a second book that fleshes out the complex heart of empire in Saudi Arabia. Heart of Black Gold draws on a personal archive meticulously created by her maternal grandfather, who was among the first Arabian employees of ARAMCO, the Arab American Oil Company. How has oil — its extractive, shiny infrastructures, camps, big men, politics and corporations, its global ecologies — shaped lived environments? Insisting on a feminist and multidisciplinary rearranging of the archive, the book inhabits history-in-the-making as it unfolds in domestic scenes, lived quarters, the affective terrains of oil.Khayyat's research has been supported by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Arab Council for the Social Sciences, the Rachel Carson Center. Her writing has appeared in American Ethnologist, Public Culture, JMEWS, Cultural Anthropology, Anthropology News, HAU, and a number of edited volumes. Khayyat was a Member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (2018-2019). Before joining NYUAD, she taught at the American University in Cairo (2013-2023) and the American University of Beirut (2011-2013). She holds a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Columbia University (2013), an MPhil in Social Anthropology from Cambridge University (1998) and a BA in history (1997) from the American University of Beirut.

Hardly a day passes by without some group of hard working people from some European country getting in the face of authorities, media and society with their urgent plight. Long gone are the days when the MSM tried so hard to present the agricultural fight as mere ‘demands for more subsidy'. Today everyone understands that the escalating protests are against the failed, crippling EU environmental regulations that threaten the very existence of the food producers. Reuters reported: “Placards depicted a farmer swinging from a gallows next to wind farms and an EU-emblazoned executioner with the words: ‘Green Deal equals death of Polish agriculture'.” Around 600 protests ongoing in Poland.

Stellantis — which has brands including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram— will join five other major automakers that previously agreed to California's framework on cutting emissions in 2019. Under the agreement, the governor's office said Stellantis “will avoid up to 12 million additional metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions” through the model year 2026. Stellantis will also adhere to the state's zero-emissions light-duty vehicle sales requirements through 2030.  Source: thehill.com Saudi Aramco CEO: ‘The Energy Transition Is Failing. Policymakers Should Abandon the Fantasy of Phasing Out Oil and Gas' The world's biggest oil producer is the Saudi company Aramco. Its CEO, Amin Nasser, just came out yesterday (18) and said that the energy transition envisioned by the ‘global warming' crowd is failing.   He went ahead and in a rare show of honesty, advised that policymakers should abandon the ‘fantasy' (ouch!) of phasing out oil and gas, as he is sure demand for fossil fuels is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. CNBC reported: “'In the real world, the current transition strategy is visibly failing on most fronts as it collides with five hard realities',     He noted that alternative energy sources have been unable to displace hydrocarbons at scale, despite the world investing more than $9.5 trillion over the past two decades. Wind and solar currently supply less than 4% of the world's energy, and total electric vehicle penetration is 3%, he said.   Read more: Source: thegatewaypundit.
