With federal funding being pulled back, leaders of Pennsylvania’s top labor unions push state policy to deliver clean energy jobs. --- For generations, union members have mined Pennsylvania’s coal, run its power plants, and built its energy infrastructure, helping make the state a top fossil fuel producer and electricity exporter. Now, renewable energy offers the promise of growth, but questions remain about the long-term jobs it will provide. In 2024, the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO and the Building and Construction Trades Council formed Union Energy, with support from the Climate Jobs National Resource Center. The coalition was launched to leverage the Inflation Reduction Act to ensure new clean energy investment creates good-paying union jobs and broad community benefits. But with federal funding now being pulled back, state policy is now central. In Pennsylvania, where clean energy targets haven’t been updated in two decades, Governor Josh Shapiro has proposed a “Lightning Plan” with new standards, a cap-and-invest program, and streamlined permitting. Union Energy wants to help shape what comes next. On the podcast, Union Energy’s leaders — Angela Ferritto, president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, and Robert Bair, president of the Pennsylvania Building Trades — discuss the impact of recent policy shifts on their members, policies to expand clean energy with strong labor standards, and their vision for Pennsylvania’s energy future.

In this episode, we chat with Joachim Braun, Global Division President, Process Industries, at ABB, to explore the future of copper mining and its critical role in the global energy transition. With copper demand forecast to significantly outpace supply by 2035, the mining industry faces both enormous opportunity and intense pressure. We discuss how companies are adapting strategies, the sector's responsibility for global emissions, and the path to net zero. Joachim shares insights from ABB's research with 400+ mining leaders, highlighting barriers to progress, the importance of incremental innovation, and where miners can seize low-hanging fruit to drive real impact. From aligning production with sustainability to building future-ready operations, this conversation unpacks the strategies that will define the next generation of copper mining. KEY TAKEAWAYS Copper demand is forecasted to significantly outpace supply by 2035, driven by the energy transition and decarbonisation efforts, requiring the industry to accelerate the development of new deposits and increase extraction from existing assets. The sector's biggest sustainability challenge comes from extraction processes, primarily fuel-powered mining vehicles, which can be electrified with commercially viable solutions that also offer better performance, higher speed, and increased throughput. The most effective strategy for aligning production and sustainability goals involves incremental innovation, such as replacing diesel gensets with solar panels over time, rather than a "big bang" implementation, as this is more suited to the industry's long asset lifecycles and risk-averse mindset. Future-ready copper mining operations will be defined by full end-to-end electrification and digital integration, allowing for remote operation centres, predictive maintenance, and integrated planning BEST MOMENTS "The good news is that there are solutions, not only available, but becoming even more and more commercially viable without any legislative interventions into the market." "The challenge is that the lead time to develop copper deposits is incredibly long. It is longer than most legislators would imagine." "The worst thing what could happen is that with the aim of decarbonisation you basically end up with production losses, loss of competitiveness... whoever has the most efficient way of producing is basically winning the race." "If you bring this together, you already get a lot of benefits without really changing the way you operate, without massive investments."

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, host Jos Röling welcomes Vincent van Kalkeren and Ali Karademir from EUTO Energy to explore how software-defined solutions are transforming the way we manage electricity grids.EUTO Energy is addressing one of today's most urgent challenges in the energy transition: net congestion. As electrification accelerates and renewable energy sources grow, traditional, hardware-centric systems are no longer sufficient to manage the increasingly dynamic and decentralized flow of power. EUTO's answer is a virtualized, software-centric energy network that makes grids smarter, more flexible, and far more efficient.During this conversation, we cover:The problem of net congestion: why current distribution networks are hitting their limits and how this impacts businesses and consumers.Traditional vs. software-defined approaches: how EUTO replaces dozens of hardware devices with a single software stack that can adapt in real time.Adaptive protection and control: enabling dynamic safety margins instead of static settings, unlocking hidden capacity in existing infrastructure.Real-world applications: from substations and transmission grids to industrial parks, microgrids, and even island-based off-grid projects.Business model implications: how utilities and operators used to think in 30-year hardware lifecycles, and how subscription-based, service-driven models are changing the landscape.Cybersecurity and reliability: ensuring that cloud and edge-based solutions remain secure, redundant, and trusted by operators.EUTO Energy's vision draws inspiration from the telecom industry's transformation, where intelligence shifted from hardware to software decades ago. Today, they are bringing the same paradigm shift to the energy sector — unlocking grid flexibility, reducing costs, and enabling a more reliable and sustainable energy system.

In this episode, we take a look at a topic that combines agriculture and the energy transition: agri-photovoltaics in India. India is considered one of the largest agricultural markets in the world and at the same time a hotspot for solar energy. But how can these two worlds be successfully combined in practice? Which technologies are gaining ground? And which political conditions are accelerating or slowing down the market ramp-up? We discussed this with Tobias Winter, who heads the Indo-German Energy Forum Support Office in India. About Tobias Winter Mr. Tobias Winter was born in East Berlin, Germany and holds a degree in Business Administration of the Rhine-Westphalia Institute of Technology Aachen (RWTH Aachen University). During his career, Mr. Winter has gained professional experience in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects and the corresponding legislation in Germany, India, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. He first came to India in 2005 to develop a solar water desalination project with TERI Bangalore. He then worked in Argentina implementing solar energy solutions in the highland region Puna. From 2009 to 2014, he was the Director of the Competence Center in Renewable Energies for the German Chambers Network in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. In 2015, he came back to India, since then leading the Support Office of the Indo-German Energy Forum, to promote cooperation in energy security, energy efficiency, renewable energies, investments in energy projects and collaborative research and development with participation from India and Germany. The Indo-German Energy Forum Support Office has been tasked by Prime Minister Modi and Chancellor Scholz to implement the Indo-German Green Hydrogen Task Force. The Indo-German Energy Forum is part of the Bilateral Energy Partnerships – the central instrument of the energy policy of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. With now more than 30 partner countries, they form a global, steadily growing and valuable network between Germany and strategic partner countries that want to transform their energy systems for a sustainable, economically attractive and secure energy transition. The declared aim of the Bilateral Energy Partnerships is to shape a successful global energy transition that combines security of supply, decarbonization of industry and foreign trade promotion with effective climate protection.

Become a paid subscriber to our newsletter/podcast, The Climate Weekly, to help support this show! It's fun. All the cool kids are doing it! This is an episode that fundamentally challenges the way I've thought about tackling climate change. I've always understood the history of energy as a history of transition. We went from burning a lot of wood to then burning a lot of coal, then moving from coal to mostly oil, then oil plus gas. But our guest today, Jean-Baptiste Fressoz, says that thinking is totally wrong. Instead of undergoing a series of energy transitions, where one form of energy largely replaces the other, history shows much more addition to substraction. The result: we keep burning and consuming more and more and more of everything. He argues the very idea of transition is a lie. Jean-Baptiste Fressoz is a historian of science and technology. In his new book, More and More and More: An All-Consuming History of Energy, he argues not that an energy transition is impossible, but that we simply have never seen anything like it before. He notes that the relationship between different forms of energy is based on symbiosis, not competition, and as. a result greater consumption of all energy has just led to more of everything being used. So how did the idea of the energy transition take hold? Why is it still a salient concept in public energy discourse today? Jean-Baptiste explains. We also discuss how the fossil fuel industry has taken hold of this concept and used it to slow down action on climate change. Jean-Baptiste Fressoz is a historian of science and technology at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. He is the author of The Happy Apocalypse and The Shock of the Anthropocene.

Deep down we are all know that innovation isn't just a buzzword; it's really a matter of long-term survival. It is getting increasingly difficult to argue against the idea that the speed of change keeps accelerating and we now live in a world where what was science fiction only 20 years ago could soon become the norm. For instance, who would have guessed that the majority of our growing energy needs are going to be almost entirely met my novel green production methods within the next twenty-five years, perhaps even including scaled up nuclear fusion within the mix? Who would have imagined that commercial exploitation of space would become ever more economically viable, including the possibility of space-based manufacturing and even lunar habitation? In such an environment a failure to innovate means that not only will your company stagnate over time, but better-run, more innovative competitors might take an unassailable lead over you. If innovation is imperative this begs the question of whether there is a way of bottling up and distilling what the most innovative companies do, so we can try to be more like them. That's what this Special Episode is all about. For one, does an innovation mindset or methodology exist? And more importantly, can we capture it, codify it, and embed it throughout large and complex organisations? To explore this and the major upcoming engineering, technological, financial and intellectual challenges of the next two decades, I'm joined today by a stellar line-up of guests from Beazley and wider industry. We'll hear from Adrian Cox, Beazley's CEO, Neil Kempston, its Head of Incubation Underwriting and Denis Bensoussan, Head of Space. I also talk to Rob Grant, Managing Director at Pollination, a specialist advisor and investor in the energy transition who is here to give us an external perspective. It's an exciting time to be at the forefront of this change, helping to unlock investment and build a more sustainable future. I don't know about you, but I have ended this process in a much more optimistic frame of mind than I began it. I hope you too have been able to take some inspiration and comfort from this investigation.

The energy transition bears risks but also brings opportunities for investors. That insight drove the conversation led by Jayen Veerapen, Senior Advisor with the BMO Climate Institute, with Pooja Khosla, CEO of Entelligent, a developer of analytical tools to help the financial industry understand the future impact of climate change and energy transition. Also joining to discuss BMO's collaboration with Entelligent was Fabrice Tenga, Managing Director and Head of Equity Derivatives Financial Engineering, BMO Capital Markets.   “Every company is either a producer of energy or a user of energy. So, energy transition, yes, it impacts power companies, utility companies, but it also impacts technology companies that have a strong demand or use that energy component. It also impacts strongly the finance sector, because the funding of these companies is coming from the finance sector. So, we live in a very interconnected ecosystem of energy,” said Khosla.

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act reorients U.S. energy policy, redefining its rivalry with China and the global transition. --- Once, climate and clean energy were common ground between the United States and China, most notably in the lead-up to the 2015 Paris Agreement. In the years since, cooperation has given way to competition. China has emerged as the global leader in clean energy manufacturing, while the U.S.—under the Biden administration—moved to catch up through the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act has set a very different course. The law rolls back many clean energy incentives, puts new emphasis on fossil fuels and emerging technologies like advanced nuclear and certain hydrogen sources, and sharpens trade and supply chain tensions with China through expanded tariffs and Foreign Entity of Concern restrictions. What does this shift mean for U.S.–China relations, American competitiveness, and the global energy transition? Scott Moore, director of China programs and strategic initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, joins Energy Policy Now to unpack the stakes. A leading expert on U.S.–China relations, Moore offers perspective on how Trump’s policies could reshape the balance of power between the world’s two largest economies. Scott Moore is Practice Professor of Political Science, and Director of China Programs and Strategic Initiatives, at the University of Pennsylvania.

The U.S. electric grid is under historic pressure. Record-breaking demand from electrification, AI, and data centers is colliding with extreme weather and aging infrastructure, while policy fights and project cancellations stall the very transmission projects needed to strengthen reliability. For utility leaders, the question isn't if these stresses will hit home — it's how quickly and how prepared they'll be when they do. In this episode of Power Perspectives Podcast, host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester sit down with Christina Hayes, Executive Director of Americans for a Clean Energy Grid, to unpack why transmission is the backbone of the energy transition — and why utilities can't afford to ignore it. Christina shares insights from ACEG's latest research and publications, breaks down the permitting roadblocks, and offers practical guidance on what CEOs and decision-makers must know to navigate this make-or-break moment for the grid.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we're talking with Rebecca Mikula-Wright, CEO of the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) and the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC). The networks represent trillions of dollars of assets under management globally. AIGCC is a network of institutional investors in Asia focused on mitigating climate risks and seizing net-zero opportunities. Its parent organization is IGCC, a network for Australian and New Zealand investors to understand and respond to the risks and opportunities of climate change.   Rebecca explains how members across both networks are evolving their approaches to climate, nature and the energy transition.   "We do see this continued support for the transition because investors have done the work. They've been assessing their portfolios. They understand that climate risk is investment risk,” she tells us.  Rebecca discusses how mandatory climate disclosure in markets like Australia and New Zealand are changing the landscape. And she talks about the importance of policy and regulation, which she calls the “biggest game-changer” when it comes to increasing the pace of decarbonization.   The All Things Sustainable podcast from S&P Global will be an official media partner of The Nest Climate Campus during Climate Week NYC.

Hydrogen just took a real step forward in steel. Utility Global and ArcelorMittal Brazil are collaborating on a first-of-its-kind commercial project at the Juiz de Fora plant: taking blast-furnace gas straight into Utility's H2Gen reactor to produce hydrogen and concentrate CO₂—inside an existing steelmaking footprint.In this episode, host Paul Rodden talks with Parker Meeks, President & CEO of Utility Global, about:Why steel is so hard to decarbonize—and why retrofits matterHow H2Gen handles variable, dilute blast-furnace gas and still delivers H₂The jump from ~18% CO₂ in off-gas to ~70% CO₂ at a single capture pointModular scaling from 3–15 tpd to 60–250+ tpdEconomics (targeting sub-$3/kg H₂ at scale), supply chains, and policy riskWhat this milestone signals for heavy industry and global hydrogen markets

In this episode, we speak to Paul Weibel, CEO of 5E Advanced Materials, the company advancing the Fort Cady boron project in California. We'll explore Paul's path into mining and the leadership lessons he's carried to the C-suite; get a clear update on Fort Cady's status and key takeaways from the recent Preliminary Feasibility Study; and dig into why boron matters, its market size, the industries driving demand, and what that means for U.S. supply. KEY TAKEAWAYS 5E Advanced Materials focuses on boron extraction from a unique culminate deposit in California, which is the only one of its kind in the U.S. The company has been mining at a pilot scale for 20 months and is preparing for commercial production. Boron is critical for various applications, including glass production, ceramics, and advanced materials like boron carbide used in armour. The market for boron is expected to grow at an average rate of 5-6% annually The company is pursuing project debt financing as a primary means to fund its operations, targeting a $285 million facility from the U.S. Export-Import Bank The U.S. boron supply chain faces challenges due to tariffs and geopolitical dynamics, which have affected pricing and availability BEST MOMENTS "Boron is the fifth element on the periodic table. It has very unique chemical properties... it basically is critical to life as we know it." "This market is growing... on a weighted average basis, that market's growing at about 8%. This diversification is a bit of an insulator to low growth." "There's a ton of upside in this market. It's an oligopoly structure... the second largest producer is not around forever. They have a very defined mine life." "We want to get that agency debt... the USGS critical mineral list is basically the main policy form that gets cheaper agency financing available."

Three wise men met and discussed the Seven Sins of The Energy Transition. Laurent, Gerard and Michael dissect seven sectors that have captured attention, investments and public money and are at best dead ends, at worst disasters waiting to happen.Greed — “Subsidy Mining in a Lab Coat” (Carbon Capture & Direct Air Capture)A capital-intensive detour that soaks up public money while delivering trivial abatement at extreme cost, great PR for incumbents, weak climate math. Gluttony — “Three Kilowatt-Hours to Move One” (Hydrogen-for-Energy)An energy-wasting appetite: make H₂ with clean power, then throw most of that power away moving, compressing, liquefying, and reconverting it—useful only in narrow industrial niches. Sloth — “Always ‘On Time' by 2040” (Small Modular Reactors)Perma-prototype promises that stay years late and dollars short while wind, solar, and storage deploy at scale now. Pride — “We Will Bottle the Sun” (Fusion Salvationism)Technological hubris as strategy: a captivating physics quest, but not a climate plan for the 2030s. Invest in science, don't budget on miracles. Lust — “Drop-In Fantasies for Every Engine” (Biofuels-Everywhere)The seductive promise of pouring yesterday's fuels into tomorrow's problems; keep them for hard-to-electrify edges, not as a universal fix. Wrath — “Culture War at Sea” (America's Offshore-Wind Own-Goals)Ideological backlash, litigation, and policy whiplash torch viable projects and local supply chains while the rest of the world builds.Envy — “Green Halo by Checkbox” (ESG Box-Ticking)Chasing ratings and labels instead of real-world decarbonization and cash-flow-relevant risk; better to separate E, S, and G and measure outcomes

Send me a messageIn this replay episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I revisit one of the most urgent and eye-opening conversations I've hosted - my conversation with Tzeporah Berman, Chair and Founder of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative.We dig into the uncomfortable truth: while governments champion renewables and set emissions targets, fossil fuel exploration and extraction are still expanding at a pace that locks in climate chaos. Tzeporah explains why climate policy has largely ignored the supply side of the equation, how subsidies distort markets, and why the Paris Agreement doesn't even mention fossil fuels. Her insight is blunt, what we build today will be what we use tomorrow.Tzeporah outlines the vision for a Fossil Fuel Treaty, modelled on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, that could create international rules to phase out production fairly and equitably. We explore the role of debt-for-renewables swaps for the Global South, how equity must be baked into any transition, and why simply building “the good stuff” without constraining “the bad stuff” will never deliver climate safety.We also discuss how to shift public perception, challenge the fossil industry's greenwashing, and confront the false comfort of net zero targets. Tzeporah makes it clear: action is the antidote to despair, and citizens have more power than they think.This is not just a debate about emissions, but about survival, justice, and reshaping the rules of the global economy. If you care about ending fossil fuel expansion, ensuring a just transition, and accelerating real climate solutions, this episode is essential listening.

Unplanned shutdowns are always challenging for large industrial facilities. For decades, many energy-intensive industries have relied on costly backup generators to provide emergency power during outages. However, companies are now looking to a new, more reliable technology: microgrids.

Is the global transition to low-carbon energy accelerating or slowing down? One answer is that it depends where you look. In the US, energy policy has shifted away from support for low-carbon technologies, but China is continuing with record installations of solar, wind, and batteries, and record sales of EVs. With AI emerging as the central arena for great power completion, which model will work best at providing the power the new technologies need?The AI revolution will be the most transformative change in human history. That's according to Gerard Reid, this week's guest, a veteran energy commentator and co-founder of the advisory firm Alexa Capital. Gerard, who also co-hosts the podcast Redefining Energy, says he thinks AI will reinvent the world's energy system. There is a widening gulf between ‘petrostates' such as the US, which are rich in oil and gas and favor fossil fuels, and the ‘electrostates', led by China, which is dominates global manufacturing for technologies such as solar panels, batteries and EVs.Europe, which is relatively resource-poor, is following China's path out of necessity, while India and others weigh up which model to adopt. Gerard, host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers-Jaffe debate the different approaches that different countries are taking to build secure energy systems that will be able to meet growing demand for electricity for AI. Electricity is now the ultimate security priority, demanding grid upgrades, new technologies to support resilience including vehicle-to-grid, and new strategic partnerships. Gerard argues that OPEC's current strategy suggest it sees oil demand peaking soon. As the world adopts Chinese EVs and other low-cost, low-carbon technologies, some big questions are becoming increasingly urgent. Will the US continue to cling to fossil fuels? Will cheap solar upend electricity industries around the world? And above all, will the race for strategic and economic success be won by whichever country integrates AI, low-cost power, and resilient grids first?Ed Crooks is Vice Chair for the Americas at Wood Mackenzie.
