The Clean Energy Revolution, presented by Helen Skelton, is a podcast that's the definition of forward-thinking. National Grid supplies energy to homes across the UK and the Northeast United States. They proposed this podcast as a definitive guide to the net zero energy transition. Helen unpacks the jargon and meets inspiring people who are using tech, science and smart thinking to help tackle climate change through the energy we use. In this episode of Fresh Ears, we sit down with Mark Goss, the Group Brand Manager of National Grid, and Katharine Kerr, Senior Producer at Fresh Air. We discuss how The Clean Energy Revolution helps listeners understand the UK's changing approach to energy, while also educating them about National Grid's role in this issue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the final episode of the series, Helen Skelton hears from people who are working to make the clean energy future fair and representative for everyone. She chats with National Grid's Fleur Callender who shares the view from the United States and Alice Cross from the UK's Sustainability First. Alice outlines how they've been working with activists, artists, policymakers and communities to understand people's concerns and needs for the energy revolution. Then it's off to Sheffield City Centre where councillor Douglas Johnson tours us around the innovative Grey to Green project. This urban redevelopment scheme has combined arts, sustainable drainage, biodiversity planting and wellbeing spaces to create a model for the cities of our future. Could this sort of scheme be the answer to making our cities cleaner, safer, more environmentally-friendly places? It's surely part of the puzzle as we work out how to fit clean energy into communities and towns. Fergus Hynd oversees National Grid's social initiative Grid for Good. He introduces the scheme which partners with charities to bring talent from under-represented and diverse backgrounds forward. Then the inspirational Taniya Bukhari, an Engineering Assistant, shares her experiences of overcoming challenges to shine in a placement she loves at National Grid.

In The Clean Energy Revolution from National Grid, Helen Skelton talks to brilliant individuals for inspiring ideas on how we can make sure the energy we use is clean and green. A huge part of transitioning our energy system is making sure that we stop emitting carbon dioxide and harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But we also need to think about how we can remove it too. This time Helen's chatting with experts from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH) and finding out about the East Coast Cluster project – the UK's model for decarbonising energy in our most heavily industrialised areas. And we travel to a peat bog in South Wales to find out how this restoration project is setting a course to limit further carbon emissions and even lock it away for the future. Dr Jeanette Whitaker from UKCEH and Bilal Ahmed from the Northern Endurance Partnership discuss the different approaches to tackling carbon in our atmosphere, from land-based natural solutions to technical and engineered approaches, even repurposing under-sea mines and aquifers for storage! Dr Rob Low from Rigare Ltd. takes us for a squelchy walk around the Hirwaun peat bog in South Wales, to explain how this National Grid restoration project is adding biodiversity to a heavily industrialised area. And Katharine Kerr chats to wetland scientist Annette Burden to find out how “Blue Carbon” research and restoration projects could hold the key to locking away carbon long-term.   Useful links: https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/journey-to-net-zero-stories/working-smarter-get-net-zero https://www.nationalgrid.com/powerofall https://www.ceh.ac.uk https://eastcoastcluster.co.uk https://www.netzeroteesside.co.uk/northern-endurance-partnership/ https://twitter.com/rigareltd   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This time on The Clean Energy Revolution from National Grid, Helen Skelton is looking at how transport is changing on the journey to net zero. Many of us who rely on cars and vans day-to-day are getting ready for an electric future, but what about the impact of aviation and shipping on the UK's carbon footprint? Whilst electrifying vehicles may be one clever option, there are loads of brilliant ideas and innovations happening to help get carbon emissions out of the transport sector for good. Helen's finding out about a few of the options on the table, and busting some myths along the way! Across the UK, millions of people are living in areas where air quality is poor and the impact on health and life expectancy is impacted badly. Andrea Lee from Client Earth talks to Helen about why we urgently we need to clean up air pollution from fossil-fuel-burning vehicles. Helen puts National Grid's Graeme Cooper in the hotseat to answer common questions about electric vehicles. Feel free to arm yourself with these facts to look like the smartest person at the pub quiz tonight. Julia Gold works for National Grid in the United States and she joins Helen to discuss rolling out green tech across the Northeast States (and taking everyone in society along for the ride). Ever heard of air taxis, or wondered when we'll be flying electric? We'll hear from Rolls Royce's Mattheu Parr on the next big shake up in the skies. Plus hear about their world-record-breaking attempt on board the Spirit of Innovation electric aircraft this Summer. Plus, if you're curious about why ports could offer some of the biggest, smartest solutions in green energy yet, listen to what Maritime UK's Ben Murray and Mark Simmonds from British Ports have to say about decarbonising the maritime sector – and everything it's connected to!

In The Clean Energy Revolution from National Grid, Helen Skelton finds out how we're all part of one of the most incredible revolutions in human history. Helen's starting by unravelling the jargon that surrounds the decarbonisation of energy and the path to net zero. What does net zero mean? Why is 2021 and COP26 so important in tackling climate change How does our energy network run? Who's making sure we have power 24/7, 365 days a week? We'll go behind the scenes at the Electricity System Operator control room to find out how the weather, temperature and our behaviour are predicted and provided for by expert operators. National Grid's Duncan Burt and Sustainability First's Sharon Darcy explain why it's vital to make sure nobody gets left behind as our power switches to green, clean sources. They're chatting to Helen about equality in energy and why communities and workers all have a vital role to play in the future of clean energy. ESO Chief Engineer Julian Leslie gives Helen a speed physics lesson as he explains the technical brilliance that keeps our lights on. We'll also meet some of the innovative minds behind the technology that's going to make sure our renewable energy system is stable and efficient in the future. What is a rotating stabiliser? What's the next big milestone in the energy transition? You'll have the answers in the next 35 minutes – and maybe a few more questions too!

Helen Skelton finds out how we're all part of one of the most incredible revolutions in human history. As the UK leads the charge towards net zero emissions, Helen unpacks the jargon and meets inspiring people who are using tech, science and smart thinking to help tackle climate change through the energy we use. National Grid has a crucial role to play, as it supplies energy to home across the UK and the Northeast United States. That means they're at the heart of connecting all of us to a green future. From the gas and electricity we use in our homes and offices to factories, shops, schools, hospitals and transport – the energy we use to fuel our everyday life is getting greener and cleaner. In this series we'll find out: What is already happening to make the energy we use to power our lives greener and cleaner in the race to tackle climate change? What part can we all play as individuals, businesses and nations, to help make this happen for the good of our planet? And why is innovation in the way we provide and use energy offering new hope? Don't worry if you're not up on your tech or science either, Helen and the experts will be explaining all those terms we hear bandied about on the TV, news and parliament, making this series your definitive guide to the net zero energy transition.

In today's episode I talk to TV Presenter & Garden Designer Danny Clarke. Danny is a TV British horticulturist who co-hosts the BBC series The Instant Gardener with Helen Skelton. Danny was born in Oxford to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He founded his own garden design company in 1997, and called himself The Black Gardener. It was this name that led him to him being noticed and invited to screen test for The Instant Gardener, a daytime BBC programme that started in 2015. Danny also appeared as a presenter for the BBC on the RHS Chelsea and RHS Tatton Flower shows and Tree of the Year for Channel 4. He is currently presenting garden design with the ITV This Morning team as well as appearing in various other press, television and radio productions. Danny's story is inspiring and ignites a love of nature to anyone who listens to him speak about the natural world through his positive, gentle and kind manner.

I talk to BBC Presenter The Instant Gardener/ The Black Gardener Danny Clarke about #BlackLivesMatter, something that I've held off from discussing, but feel the importance of it and how it is represented in the garden industry. We also discuss his BBC show the instant Gardener Danny Clarke is a professional garden designer, maintenance practitioner and landscaper. A self confessed “friend of the earth” Danny is not only an experienced horticulturalist, but also an established TV presenter and expert. The Oxford born son of a British Army officer, Danny initially considered embarking on a military career or as a professional sportsman, but his extensive travels abroad inspired him to pursue his love of nature and the great outdoors. He gained a keen eye for design which led him to become a highly acclaimed and in demand landscaper and designer, helping bring people's visions and ambitions for their gardens to life! Danny's creativity and fresh approach hasn't gone unnoticed and it was for this reason that he went on to land a co presenter role on BBC one's garden transformation show “The Instant Gardener” alongside Helen Skelton. The series sees the pair and their team called upon by people up and down the nation whose gardens are in desperate need of some TLC. Using his sharp eye for design and passion for ambitious, imaginative concepts Danny and the team work tirelessly to transform the space and provide viewers with straightforward and useful tips on how they can revamp their gardens. His career in TV has gone from strength to strength and he was given the honour of presenting for the BBC at the iconic RHS Chelsea Flower Show and the RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park. He's also been a contributor on horticulture across the BBC's Inside Out and has a number of exciting projects in the pipeline, so 2016 is set to be a very busy and green fingered year!
