Podcast appearances and mentions of green transition

European Green Transition Plc Non-Executive Chairman and Founder Cathal Friel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's 2025 results, highlighting a transformational acquisition, growing opportunities in the UK renewable energy sector, and an ambitious strategy aimed at building a leading clean energy infrastructure business. Friel explained that the acquisition of Earthmill Maintenance and its related businesses has fundamentally reshaped European Green Transition, positioning the company as a significant participant in the UK onshore wind services market. The transaction brought an EBITDA-profitable business into the group, along with substantial working capital resources, a well-established customer base, and a portfolio of more than 900 wind turbines under management across the UK. According to Friel, the acquisition immediately provides scale and recurring revenue opportunities while establishing a strong operational platform from which the company can pursue further growth. The expanded business now offers a broad range of services to wind farm operators, including maintenance, repair, operational support, and turbine optimization solutions. A key factor supporting future growth is the changing regulatory landscape in the United Kingdom. Friel noted that recent government policy changes have reopened opportunities for onshore wind development, creating renewed demand for turbine upgrades, repowering projects, and maintenance services. As a result, European Green Transition has already secured 55 heads of agreement representing approximately £24 million in potential additional revenue opportunities. Management believes these agreements are only the beginning of a much larger opportunity. Beyond the identified projects, the company has assembled a growing pipeline of prospective contracts and development opportunities that could support significant revenue expansion in the years ahead. Friel also highlighted the strategic importance of Anemos, the AI-enabled wind turbine monitoring and analytics business in which European Green Transition recently increased its ownership stake to 79%. The platform utilizes artificial intelligence and advanced monitoring technologies to provide predictive maintenance capabilities, real-time operational insights, and performance optimization tools for wind turbine operators. The company believes Anemos has the potential to become an increasingly valuable component of the business by helping reduce maintenance costs, improve turbine efficiency, and minimize operational downtime. In addition to supporting Earthmill's existing customer base, the technology can also be marketed to third-party wind farm operators, creating an additional revenue stream and strengthening the company's competitive position. Looking forward, European Green Transition remains focused on executing a strategy built around revenue growth, profitability, and carefully selected acquisition opportunities. Friel emphasized that management intends to maintain a disciplined approach to future transactions while targeting businesses that can deliver strategic synergies, recurring revenues, and exposure to high-growth segments of the renewable energy sector. #proactiveinvestors #europeangreentransition #aim #egt #GreenTransition #CathalFriel #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #CleanEnergy #OnshoreWind #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #GreenInfrastructure #ArtificialIntelligence #RenewablePower

This time, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian got up bright and early to head down to global investor Temasek’s corporate headquarters located at The Atrium@Orchard to find out more about the key happenings at Ecosperity Week 2026. Organised by Temasek, Ecosperity is the firm’s key platform for sustainability and advocacy. Themed ‘Asia’s Race Towards 2030: Powered by Innovation, Driven by Intent’, the event, which took place earlier this week, brought together leaders across government, business, finance and civil society to explore practical, scalable innovations, policies and partnerships that can help translate the region’s 2030 climate ambitions into real-world impact. So where does Temasek see capital moving and how is it encouraging long term-investors to put money into the energy transition through a systems approach across renewables, infrastructure and other climate technologies? How does Temasek see what makes a green project investable and how does it align the interests of innovators, policymakers and investors to get deals done? And in terms of execution, how can policymakers and the business community come together to structure deals in such a way to de-risk projects while unlocking capital? Tian Tian posed these questions to Steve Howard, Vice Chairman, Sustainability, Temasek.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

European Green Transition PLC (AIM:EGT) CFO Jack Kelly tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company has increased its stake in Scottish condition monitoring specialist Anemos Analytics from 52% to 79%, following an initial acquisition earlier this year. Anemos uses high-frequency sensor data to track more than 100 variables across onshore wind turbines, flagging potential failures in gearboxes, blades and main shafts before they cause costly outages. With 119 turbines already monitored since launching commercial operations in April 2025, the platform generates long-term recurring revenue — and Kelly sees expansion opportunities beyond wind into shipping, hydro and larger turbine manufacturers.

Lithium is an essential ingredient of most modern electronics. It helps to power our phones, our laptops, and increasingly EVs and other key parts of the green transition. As Thea Riofrancos, a political scientist and author of the new book “Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism,” explains, the story of lithium — how it's mined, how it's refined, and how it makes its way around the world — isn't just a business story. It's a story of geopolitics and power.On this episode (originally published on the Rhodes Center Podcast, another podcast from the Watson School), Watson political economist and Rhodes Center director Mark Blyth talks with Thea about the politics and economics of lithium extraction, how the race to electrify our energy supply is reshaping the global economy, and what it means for the future of our planet.

European Green Transition PLC (AIM:EGT) executive chair and co-founder Cathal Friel talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recently announced conditional £7.5 million fundraising and its acquisition of wind turbine maintenance and monitoring businesses, including Earthmill Maintenance. Friel described the raise as a strong result in what he called a “tricky market,” noting that the fundraising was significantly oversubscribed and ultimately scaled up from an initial £5 million target to £7.5 million. The capital will support growth initiatives following the company's acquisition of assets from Arena Capital Partners, including Earthmill, WEP, Silverford Engineering and a majority stake in analytics company AMOS. According to Friel, European Green Transition acquired the businesses for £3.5 million and believes the assets offer strong upside potential. He highlighted that the acquired operations already generate recurring revenues of around £14–15 million annually and are EBITDA profitable. The company sees particular potential in the “repowering” opportunity within the wind energy sector. Earthmill Maintenance managing director David Broadbank explained that the company provides wind turbine servicing, remote monitoring and component replacement services across the UK and Ireland. Beyond maintenance, the business also works with clients to upgrade older turbines to more efficient models capable of generating significantly more electricity. Broadbank outlined how replacing a 250kW turbine with a 660kW unit can dramatically increase electricity generation and annual revenue for site owners, helping businesses improve energy security and reduce reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets. Friel said European Green Transition believes Earthmill could surpass comparable businesses in scale and is targeting £50 million in revenue with double-digit EBITDA margins over the medium term.

The EU has introduced a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to prevent carbon leakage – when companies move production to countries with weaker climate rules, or when EU products are replaced by more carbon-intensive imports. But the measure has sparked controversy and concern, especially among countries in the Global South, as seen during COP30 in Belém. This episode of the Climate Briefing explores the implications of the EU's CBAM for countries in the Global South: What are their main concerns, and what could be done to mitigate negative impacts? To discuss these questions and more, Anna is joined by Aparna Sharma (Programme Lead at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water – CEEW), Shimukunku Manchishi (Senior Policy Officer at the African Futures Policy Hub), and Ieva Baršauskaitė (Lead on Trade and Green Transition at the International Institute for Sustainable Development – IISD).

In More and More and More, Jean-Baptiste Fressoz shows that the human history of energy is one of accumulation, not substitution. Here, he talks to reporter Adam Lowenstein about how the "energy transition" frame got so entrenched, why clean-energy innovation is not the same thing as decarbonization; how the fossil fuel industry helped launder pipe dreams of dysfunctional technologies into mainstream climate “solutions”; and much more (and more and more).

The Central Economic Work Conference is calling for a good start for China's 15th Five Year Plan period.

Wojciech Przybylski unpacks the new United States national security strategy and its ‘chaotic hypocrisy' towards Europe, then turns to Hungary to ask what an honest energy transition would really look like.In conversation with Ada Ámon, executive director of the Budapest Climate Agency, this episode explores:– How deeply Hungary is locked into Russian oil, gas and nuclear fuel– Why successive governments chose cheap energy over efficiency and resilience– How Hungarian households have already shown they can cut consumption by twenty to thirty per cent– How EU funds were diverted away from citizens and into government buildings, weakening real climate action– What smarter pricing, better incentives and local innovation could do for Hungary's energy futureThis podcast is a part of our Europe Future Forum Polish-Hungarian Perspectives project.

Lithium is an essential ingredient of most modern electronics. It helps to power our phones, our laptops, and increasingly EVs and other key parts of the green transition. As Thea Riofrancos, a political scientist, environmentalist, and author of the new book “Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism,” explains to Mark on this episode, the story of lithium — how it's mined, how it's refined, and how it makes its way around the world — isn't just a business story. It's a story of geopolitics and power.On this episode, Mark and Thea discuss the surprising story of lithium extraction, how the race to electrify our energy supply is reshaping the global economy, and what it all means for the future of our planet.

CLIMATE diplomacy is not dead, but it's not looking too healthy right now. A month after the International Maritime Organization's Net-Zero Framework was put on life support for a year in the hope that a cure could be found, many of the same politicians, negotiators, non-governmental organisations, claques and hacks still reeling from that setback headed to Brazil for this year's COP climate summit. A push by more than 80 countries for plans to quit fossil fuels ultimately failed, but states did manage a less ambitious agreement to keep the wheels from falling off. So where does that leave shipping? “Not dead yet” is hardly the rallying cry that will spur a generation of bold zero-carbon innovation and investment. We gathered insights from people who were in the thick of the COP negotiations for shipping, and where the IMO discussions leave us and what happens next. Joining Richard on the podcast this week are: Ellie Besley-Gould, chief executive of the Sustainable Shipping Initiative Katharine Palmer, shipping lead at the UN High-Level Climate Champions team Christiaan De Beukelaer, senior lecturer in culture and climate at the University of Melbourne and author of ‘Trade Winds' Beatriz Martinez Romera, associate professor of environmental and climate change law at the University of Copenhagen Subscribe to Lloyd's List: www.lloydslistintelligence.com/products/…oyds-list Learn more about Lloyd's List Intelligence: www.lloydslistintelligence.com/

Chinese Premier Li Qiang has stressed unity, openness and cooperation among the G20 to face global challenges (01:08). Flights on 12 routes between China and Japan have been cancelled under diplomatic tensions (15:06). And negotiations continue on a 28-point U.S. peace plan between Russia and Ukraine, as Europe calls for it to favor Kyiv, and Moscow signals openness to talks without compromising its interests (23:36).

In August 2022 — just over three years ago — the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. It represented the largest federal investment in renewable energy and climate action in U.S. history. The bill was a historic victory for the climate movement — and, as it turns out, its high-water mark in the United States for the foreseeable future. Since returning to office, President Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, rolled back numerous environmental and climate regulations, issued executive orders to pause renewable energy projects, and worked with Congress to dismantle key parts of the IRA.On this episode, Dan Richards speaks with two experts on climate politics at the Watson School: Jeff Colgan, professor of political science and director of Watson's Climate Solutions Lab, and Chris Rea, assistant professor of sociology and expert on climate and environmental governance about the new landscape of climate politics. They discuss the state of the climate movement and green transition in America and around the world, where the climate movement goes from here, and what it all means for our politics and our planet.

In this episode, we examine how digitalisation accelerates the green transition. Mikk Vainik from Rohetiiger outlines how secure data, interoperability, and sector roadmaps turn sustainability goals into measurable business practice. Sven Parkel from the Estonian Hydrogen Cluster explains renewable hydrogen and Hydrogen Valleys, why EU-driven collaboration matters, how research translates into real-world pilots, and where startups can create the most impact. 

“In the next 25 years, the world will need more copper than in all of human history.”Amendment - I said 3.2 billion kg of copper in opening question, I should have said 320 million kg. In this episode, journalist and author Vince Beiser returns to the podcast to discuss his book Power Metal, a sobering look at the metals that make modern civilization possible — and the extraordinary cost of extracting them.We cover the story of copper — the wire of empire. Beiser reveals why humanity will need more copper in the next 25 years than we've used in all of history, and how that quest is reshaping geopolitics, the environment, and our very ideas of progress. From Chile's drought-stricken Atacama mines to the e-waste yards of Lagos, Nigeria, we follow the real people and places behind our “clean-energy” future — and the dirty truths that power it.We also unpack the rise of deep-sea mining, the billionaires behind it, and the tensions between state power, corporate ambition, and the planet's limits. Along the way we meet Robert Friedland, Gerard Barron, Dan Gertler, and a cast of characters who prove that the world still runs on digging — and that the future will too.If you liked The World in a Grain or stories about how our material world shapes our moral one, this conversation will hit home.Topics: Resource wars, clean-tech paradox, deep-sea mining, copper shortage, China's industrial strategy, EV economics, and how to reduce demand without going backwards.

Even as efforts to transition Appalachia out of coal receive broad policy support, the fate of the landscape is ultimately driven by incumbent actors used to getting what they want. Dr Lindsay Shade and Dr Karen Rignall discuss their research about how legacies of land ownership frustrate equitable and effective transition strategies. While an "Abundance"  argument suggests that  "the Democratic fetish for legalistic procedure has in so many places, made it impossible to get stuff done," the afterlives of coal provides a stark reminder of the deeper powers that control what happens on the land. Confronting the legacies of landownership may be the only path to meaningful landscape transformation.  Episode Links Dr Lindsay Shade Dr Karen Rignall Shade, L., Schwartzman, G., Rignall, K., Slovinsky, K., & Johnson, J.

Podcast Guest Correction: "At minute 26.41 - 27.55 it is implied that The Nature Conservancy (TNC) acquired all 253,000 acres as a single parcel and that it all passed through Pocahontas Land Company and Heartwood Forestland Fund, and also that The Forestland Group "sold" land to the former. Heartwood Forestland Fund is managed by The Forestland Group and holds land under various subsidiaries. In the three states where TNC brokered land deals for the Cumberland Forest Project, the land is held by various LLC's that TNC controls, all of which purchased land from subsidiaries of either The Forestland Group or Molpus-Woodlands, two different timber investment management organizations (TIMO's). These TIMO's previously bought land and/or timber rights from various coal and natural resource landholding companies in the region, including Pocahontas. As we describe in our paper on p. 8, the trajectory of the land in our case study in East TN is as follows: the land was first consolidated by the 19th century British coal company and land speculation firm "The American Association Ltd," later sold to JM Huber Coal, and then to Molpus-Woodlands, before being acquired by Cumberland Forest LLC, which The Nature Conservancy has a controlling share and manages."
