Send me a messageShipping moves 90% of global trade – and yet it's one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise. In this episode of Climate Confident, I sit down with Heikki Pöntynen, CEO of Finnish cleantech pioneer Norsepower, to explore a solution that's both elegantly simple and radically effective: modern rotor sails.Heikki explains how Norsepower has revived and re-engineered the century-old Flettner rotor to deliver real-world fuel savings of 5–25%, with some transatlantic routes targeting a staggering 50% reduction. We dig into the physics of the Magnus effect, why side winds are a ship's best friend, and how AI-driven automation ensures crews get maximum performance with minimal effort.We also discuss why retrofits dominate current adoption, the growing trend of building “rotor sail ready” vessels, and how stricter IMO regulations are shortening payback times to as little as one year. Heikki shares insights on compatibility with biofuels and electric ships, and why wind propulsion will be a common sight by 2040.This isn't about prototypes or pilot projects – these sails are already cutting CO₂ at scale, with 26,000 tonnes saved to date. If you want to understand a proven, scalable technology that can help shipping hit net zero by 2050, this conversation will change how you see the horizon.Listen now to learn how wind, engineering, and smart regulation could reshape maritime decarbonisation.Support the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing supporters: Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Support the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Research conducted by the United Nations has shown that indirect carbon emissions from some of the world's biggest tech firms rose dramatically between 2020 and 2023.This is due to the significant energy that is needed to operate data centres.Environmental commentator, John Gibbons, spoke to Matt on The Last Word.Hit the ‘Play' button on this page to hear their chat.
On Tuesday, July 29, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin released the agency's proposal to rescind a determination that previous administrations had used to set limits on greenhouse gas emissions. Both the Obama and Biden administrations used the determination, called the endangerment finding, to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, particularly from vehicle emissions. The EPA cited curtailing regulatory overreach as the primary motivation for rescinding the rule, saying that the repeal would save the auto industry an expected $54 billion through deregulations.Tangle LIVE tickets are available!We're excited to announce that our third installment of Tangle Live will be held on October 24, 2025, at the Irvine Barclay Theatre in Irvine, California.

It's Thursday, and that means it's time to catch up on politics with Stephanie Grace, editorial director and columnist for The Times Picayune/New Orleans Advocate. We hear about the latest candidate to challenge Sen. Cassidy's (R-La.) seat in Congress, and whether or not President Trump will weigh in on the election. Earlier this month, the Trump administration issued a two-year exemption to an EPA rule that aims to curb pollution and cancer risks for those who live near industrial plants.The move affects a dozen Louisiana petrochemical companies and the communities that surround them. Some say the proclamation will endanger the health of people who live in the Mississippi River Industrial Corridor and the Lake Charles area. Coastal Desk reporter Eva Tesfaye joins us to discuss the potential impacts. The Glass Recycling Foundation's 2024 report says only about a third of the glass in the U.S. is recycled annually .

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary | Astronomy, Space & Science News
In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into the depths of cosmic mysteries and groundbreaking discoveries, including the enigmatic Long Period Transient and the stellar companion of Betelgeuse, alongside exciting findings from Mars.Unraveling the Long Period TransientAstronomers have uncovered a new cosmic phenomenon, ASCAP J1832-0911, which emits both radio and X-ray pulses every 44 minutes for just two minutes at a time. This first-ever detection of a Long Period Transient has left scientists puzzled about its nature and origins. Lead author Dr Andy Wang from Curtin University discusses the potential theories, including the possibility of a magnetar or a binary star system, while emphasizing the need for further observations to unravel this cosmic mystery.Betelgeuse's Stellar CompanionIn a remarkable discovery, astronomers have identified a stellar companion orbiting the red supergiant Betelgeuse. This pre-main sequence star, approximately one and a half times the mass of the Sun, resides within Betelgeuse's outer atmosphere. As Betelgeuse approaches the end of its life, this companion is also on a collision course with destiny, likely spiraling into Betelgeuse within the next 10,000 years. This finding could shed light on the periodic brightness changes observed in similar red supergiant stars.Mars Perseverance Rover's New DiscoveriesNASA's Perseverance Rover continues its exploration of Jezero Crater, uncovering unusual rock formations that may reveal significant geological history. The rover is investigating an intriguing contact area where clay-bearing units meet olivine-rich rocks, potentially preserving evidence of ancient intrusive processes. Despite challenges in studying these formations, mission managers remain determined to unlock the secrets they hold about Mars' past.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357NASA's Perseverance Rover Missionhttps://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 Space Time series 28 episode 90 for broadcast on 28 July 202500:47 Long Period Transient emitting radio and X ray pulses every 44 minutes07:48 Astronomers have discovered what appears to be a companion star in binary orbit12:30 NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover is continuing its exploration of Jetro Crater15:00 New study links early smartphone use to poorer mental health later in life17:39 There are new reports of Bigfoot activity in the Pacific Northwest state of Washington

Host Will Richardson offers his thoughts on sustainability and more and replays one of our popular episodes on supply chain sustainability with the Wine Society. Will and Charlie Luxton are taking a break over the Summer to spend time with their families. We hope to bring you more episodes in early Autumn. From bottles to biodiversity! Welcome to Sustainability Solved! In this episode, hosts Will and Charlie dive into the fascinating world of wine and sustainability with Dom De Ville from the Wine Society. First set up in 1874 by a bunch of people who wanted to pay a fair price for their booze, the Wine Society is leading the charge in tackling supply chain emissions, improving agricultural practices, and supporting winemakers across the globe. If you're curious about Scope 3 emissions, regenerative viticulture, and innovative approaches to sustainability, this episode is for you.Join the Sustainability Solved Hub to collaborate, ask questions, and share insights.ProblemThe wine industry faces mounting sustainability challenges:Scope 3 Emissions: 94% of the Wine Society's carbon footprint comes from their supply chain, particularly in wine production, glass bottle manufacturing, and shipping.Climate Change: Extreme weather patterns, droughts, and floods are threatening vineyards worldwide.Human Rights Risks: Reliance on seasonal, often migrant, labour raises ethical concerns.Biodiversity Loss: Conventional farming practices, such as pesticide and herbicide use, degrade soil and ecosystems.SolutionsInvesting in Suppliers (Insetting):Instead of traditional carbon offsets, the Wine Society invests directly in their growers through a Climate and Nature Fund. This supports projects like regenerative farming and reforestation.Examples include hydro-seeding trials, agroforestry initiatives, and providing seed money for transitioning to regenerative viticulture.Reducing Glass Bottle Emissions:The Wine Society collaborated with 12 retailers through the Bottle Weight Accord to reduce bottle weights by 2027, significantly lowering emissions.Regenerative Agriculture:Encouraging natural solutions, such as planting cover crops, using sheep for natural fertilisation, and avoiding soil tillage to preserve carbon stores.Collaboration:Active involvement in the Sustainable Wine Roundtable and the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation to share knowledge and best practices across the industry.Producers Making a Difference:Highlighting sustainable suppliers on their website to incentivise greener practices and reward innovation.ResultsDirect investment of £65,000 per year into supply chain projects, supporting growers in transitioning to more sustainable practices.A unified industry effort to reduce glass bottle weights, potentially transforming the carbon footprint of millions of bottles annually.Positive relationships with suppliers, fostering long-term partnerships and encouraging sustainable innovation.TakeawaysPay a Fair Price: Sustainability in supply chains requires investment and fair compensation for...
The UN's highest court has found countries can be held legally responsible for their greenhouse gas emissions.

In this episode of the Decarb Connect podcast, Alex Cameron speaks with ClimeCo's Emily Damon (Chief Growth Officer) and David Prieto (VP of Sustainability Advisory) to explore the rise of insetting as a tool for accelerating corporate decarbonization—especially across complex value chains. Unlike carbon offsets, which involve emission reductions outside a company's operations, insetting delivers reductions within a company's value chain, enabling both Scope 1 and Scope 3 progress.You'll hear how insetting fits into existing GHG accounting frameworks, why market-based accounting is gaining traction, and how buyers and sellers are structuring deals today—from bundled agreements to complex multilateral transactions. With rising consumer willingness to pay and emerging buyer alliances, insetting is positioned to become a core pillar of corporate climate strategies—if companies can navigate risk, tracking, and stakeholder scrutiny effectively. Top 5 Takeaways from the EpisodeInsetting = Value Chain DecarbonizationFind out how insetting directs investment to emissions reductions within a company's own supply chain. Create aligned incentives and quantifiable Scope 3 benefits (unlike offsets).Accounting and Claims Require RigorGHG Protocol allows for double counting by design (e.g. supplier Scope 1 = buyer Scope 3), but firms must avoid double claiming. Listen in to ensure that emissions reductions are traceable, additional, and not sold twice!Markets Are Emerging but Still ImmatureMost current insetting deals are bespoke or bilateral. Find out how buyer alliances (e.g., SABA for aviation fuel, Clean Energy Buyers Alliance for electricity, and others forming for steel, cement, plastics) are lowering transaction costs and setting informal norms.Registries and Standards Are Still Catching UpFind out what needs to happen next – from standardizing insetting certificates to infrastructure. A call to action to share lessons learned and scale pilot transactions to full-fledged programs.Consumer and Corporate Demand Are Creating TailwindsStudies show growing consumer willingness to pay a premium for sustainable goods (especially among Gen Z and millennials). Find out how corporate Scope 3 targets and supply chain emissions visibility are creating growing demand for low-carbon inputs.Useful LinksLearn more about the ClimeCo team hereRead more in their blog post on Insetting hereConnect with Emily DamonConnect with David PrietoFollow Alex Cameron on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb ConnectJoin Alex and a network of hardtech investors and series B+ tech disruptors at Decarb TechInvest in Boston (September 2025) Want to learn more about Decarb Connect?We provide insights and introductions that derisk decision-making and support industrial leaders in deploying decarbonization and low carbon product strategy.

Even in five episodes, we couldn't cover everything. So in this bonus epilogue, Neil and Kathleen sit down with reporters Sam Baker and Charli Shield to unpack some questions we left on the cutting room floor – from the messy consequences of outdated US flood maps to why helping poorer countries leapfrog fossil fuels matters to us all – plus your comments, a few laughs, and final reflections.
As many of our listeners embark on summer vacations and the US heads into a busy travel weekend for the Fourth of July holiday, we're talking with the chief executive of one of the world's busiest airports. Paul Griffiths is CEO of Dubai Airports, which owns and manages the operation and development of Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International (DWC) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, Paul shares the path that led him from training as a musician to working with Sir Richard Branson to leading an airport that served more than 92 million travelers in 2024. Paul explains the initiatives Dubai Airports has undertaken to become more sustainable and to decarbonize. He talks about how to balance rising demand for travel while also ensuring the sustainability of airport operations. “There is a growing realization that the industry has to clean its act up as far as carbon emissions are concerned,” Paul says. This episode is the latest in our Terra Carta Series of the All Things Sustainable podcast, a collaboration with the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI). Throughout 2025, we'll be interviewing SMI member CEOs like Paul from around the world and across industries about how they're approaching sustainability challenges and opportunities.

There have been a number of efforts to regulate a transition to lower logistics-related emissions, and all of them involved the state of California and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). California always plays a unique role in these debates because they have the most air pollution in the country and also the toughest emissions regulations. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) predates the EPA. In the past, they have been able to make their own rules, only requiring waivers when newly proposed standards are tougher than Federal standards. On May 22, 2025, the Senate voted to strip California of its ability to impose tougher standards on heavy duty trucks and ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. California may be down, but they are certainly not out. They are using other creative ways to regulate the emissions associated with logistics. In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner looks at this alternate approach to regulation: The Warehouse Actions and Investments to Reduce Emissions Program (known as WAIRE) and the Warehouse Indirect Source Rule (ISR) How these rules are are intended to work and how they are being enforced Whether this alternative approach will be effective in achieving its objectives Links: Examining the Practicality of the EV Truck Mandate Nebraska v.

The Climate Change Committee report shows little progress on the reduction of emissions from agriculture and substantial action still needed.Many UK supermarkets have made public commitments to sourcing 100% of their beef from the UK. But in recent months some seem to be moving away from these pledges. We ask how much beef is being imported, from where, and why.A group of farmers are seeking a judicial review over the decision to re-impose inheritance tax on some farm businesses. Work has begun to clear more than 30,000 tonnes of illegally dumped waste from a Kent woodland, in an operation led by the Environment Agency.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Michael Grunwald, author of the new book We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate. They discuss what land use in agriculture has to do with the climate crisis, whether factory farms should be part of the solution to feed a growing population in a warming world, and why behavior change among eaters is hard but doable. Plus, hear about highlights from London Climate Action Week, the effect of rising greenhouse gas emissions on crop yields, and a new study looking into the link between conventional agriculture practices and rising cancer rates in Iowa.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking discoveries and innovative advancements in the realm of space and planetary science.Record-Breaking Cosmic Structure DiscoveredAstronomers have imaged an unprecedented cosmic structure, a massive cloud of energetic particles surrounding a galaxy cluster that spans nearly 200 million light years. This remarkable finding, presented at the 246th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, challenges existing theories about particle energization, suggesting that giant shock waves and turbulence are at play rather than nearby galaxies. We delve into the implications of this discovery for our understanding of cosmic magnetic fields and the dynamics of galaxy clusters.A New Approach to Building MarsA recent study has revealed a novel method for planetary core formation, suggesting that molten sulfide rather than metal could create a core in rocky planets like Mars. This research, published in Nature Communications, offers fresh insights into the early evolution of terrestrial worlds, particularly in sulfur-rich environments. We discuss how this finding could reshape our understanding of Mars's geochemical timeline and its core formation process.High-Performance Infrared Nano AntennasScientists have developed innovative gold nano antennas that significantly enhance the capabilities of thermal infrared cameras, improving image quality and sensitivity. This advancement, led by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories, allows for clearer observations of thermal infrared radiation, with applications ranging from astronomy to national security. We explore the technology behind these nano antennas and their potential impact on various fields.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Communicationshttps://www.nature.com/ncomms/American Astronomical Societyhttps://aas.org/Sandia National Laboratorieshttps://www.sandia.gov/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 74 for broadcast on 20 June 202501:00 Record-breaking cosmic structure discovered12:15 A new approach to building Mars22:30 High-performance infrared nano antennas30:00 Science report: New dinosaur species discovered
When exactly China’s emissions peak will make a big difference to the fate of the planet. That moment has come, according to Lauri Myllyvirta, co-founder of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. A combination of factors – including a huge deployment of renewables and electrification of transport – has put China’s emissions into a structural decline. This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi asks Myllyvirta how confident he is that this really is a peak? What’s behind the decline in emissions? And how will the trade war with the US affect China’s climate and energy policies in the years to come?
