UK OFF-PEAK EV CHARGING COSTS 2.3P PER MILE IN NEW ANALYSISCarbon Brief estimates UK EVs charged overnight at home cost about 2.3p per mile, versus 20.1p for petrol and 21p for diesel, while charging at the domestic price cap costs around 7p per mile. The advantage depends heavily on access to home charging and off-peak tariffs, and although electricity prices and a planned 3p-per-mile EV tax from April 2028 will narrow the gap, EVs are still expected to retain a substantial energy-cost advantage.VOLKSWAGEN OFFERS $12,500 TO CLEAR REMAINING US ID.4 STOCKVolkswagen is offering US buyers and lessees $12,500 on remaining 2025 ID.4s until 2 November, after first-half 2026 sales fell 77.2% to 2,205 and production at its Chattanooga factory ended in April. The large incentive is intended to clear very limited stock while Volkswagen prepares a future North American replacement, expected to adopt the ID. Tiguan name but with no announced launch timetable.VOLVO ELECTRIC TRUCK RANGE WINS INTERNATIONAL TRUCK OF THE YEAR 2027Volvo's FH Electric, FM Electric, FMX Electric and FH Aero Electric have won International Truck of the Year 2027, with judges highlighting improvements in range, efficiency, payload and suitability for different heavy-transport roles. Production of the next generation began in Gothenburg on 14 September, with the FH, FM and FMX Electric offering up to 470 kilometres of range and further production planned in Belgium.MERCEDES-AMG NEEDS REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START CHARGING AT TEST EVENTA Mercedes-AMG needed several attempts to establish communication with a charger during CharIN Testival 2026, illustrating the interoperability challenges created by technologies including Plug & Charge, bidirectional charging and megawatt charging. The controlled test does not show how common such failures are for consumers, but CharIN says compatibility, connector locking and vehicle-to-grid implementation still need improvement even as ISO 15118-20 standards mature.EXPLOREN PLANS MORE THAN 600 FAST CHARGERS ACROSS AUSTRALIAExploren will invest A$30 million over two years to install more than 600 DC fast chargers across Australia, with many offering 200 kW or more alongside contactless payment and upgrades to existing sites. The expansion builds on the company's acquisition of Engie's Australian and New Zealand charging network in 2025, adding new hardware while also improving maintenance and ease of use across its existing network.NEW ZEALAND REPORT FINDS CCS2 VEHICLE-TO-GRID SUPPORT LIMITED TO TRIALSA New Zealand government-backed readiness report finds that CCS2 vehicle-to-grid support remains largely restricted to approved trials, with BYD and NordEast requiring individual vehicle approval and only StarCharge Halo and SigenStor EV DC chargers meeting the report's stated requirements. Wider adoption could begin from mid-2027 if BYD introduces standard-warranty V2G support as planned, while current trials are already testing enhanced export payments of up to NZ$0.70 per kWh in grid-constrained areas.

//The Wire//2300Z October 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CHINA HALTS ALL FUEL EXPORTS. MIGRANT STUDENT RIOTS CONTINUE IN FRANCE, HUNDREDS ARRESTED AS MOB ATTACKS REMAIN CONSTANT. ENERGY DEPARTMENT FILES CONTRACT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 40 MILLION BARREL RELEASE FROM THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Europe: The fuel crisis continues to deteriorate. This morning the White House requested France and Germany to tap into their emergency diesel reserves, to ease high prices. The proposal as described would release around 120 million barrels of diesel from the strategic reserves of EU member states over the next 6 months. Analyst Comment: So far, this is not a formalized demand, but rather an indirect request made by the White House. No European nation has officially responded to the idea, but many mainstream media reports suggest that the indirect threat has been made of cutting off diesel exports to noncompliant nations.France: Mass riots continue around the nation. Several days ago, protests began at schools around the country due to long schooldays and declining infrastructure. After the initial low-level protests began in Paris, civil unrest spread throughout the nation. This morning, limited protests and arson incidents had spread to Belgium, with students beginning to conduct similar protests there.Analyst Comment: This initially started small but after some vandalism took place on the first night, the situation snowballed from there to be more of an African uprising than a simple school schedule dispute. Now, a substantial number of the participants of the attacks are visibly not of French ancestry...most of the arson attacks are being conducted by the children of African migrants. Throughout this afternoon, the riots have expanded to include other non-student migrant enclaves. The mayor of Saint Dennis, Bally Bagayoko (who is ethnically Malian) joined students in setting fire to a trash can in the street, encouraging them to destroy more infrastructure. Many school officials and police officers have been attacked by violent mobs, and several hundred arrests have been made so far nationwide. As it stands, this situation is already very violent, and is only likely to increase in severity over the next few days.Far East: Last night, China suspended all exports of fuel for the month of October, effective immediately. Hong Kong and Macau have been granted an exemption, but all other export partners will receive zero fuel from China in October.Analyst Comment: This move will probably affect the decision that the United States has been weighing regarding halting diesel exports. China is not a major exporter of petroleum products, but Singapore and the Philippines are major importers of diesel from China, which is now completely cut off. Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are also likely to be heavily affected by the halting of Chinese exports.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday the Department of Energy authorized an emergency release of 40 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This is an attempt to retry a sale that was initially offered in June, that did not pan out because oil companies did not want to commit to the sale when prices were at new heights.As a reminder, SPR releases are really loans. When a private oil company is given oil from the SPR to sell on the open market, they have to replace it with more oil than they took out. Now that the market is in a disastrous state, a lot of oil companies have not wanted to take on that obligation, because they think that by the time they have to re-fill that loan, it won't be financially viable (because oil will be more expensive than it is now). Since the SPR has been drained heavily over the past few months, the current levels sit at roughly 283.8 million barrels.As a result, if petroleum companies take up this contract for all 40 million barrels, and don't replace it soon enough, SPR levels will probably bounce below the Congressionally mandated limit of 252 million barrels. Whether or not companies will indeed take this contract is up in the air, but as it stands emergency levels are being approached, and concerns are growing regarding the structural integrity of the SPR caverns housing America's emergency oil supply.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

1. FC Union Berlin defender Amber Tysiak sits down to discuss her football journey and orchestrating a backline in the Frauen-Bundesliga.Amber joins the podcast to share insider insights on her high-profile January transfer window move to Berlin, taking her game to the next level, Union Berlin's high-stakes campaign to compete at the absolute peak of German women's soccer, and entering an ambitious club at an unprecedented turning point, becoming a part of the team's climb to the pinnacle of European soccer.She shares what it meant to enter the international environment as a rising star, tracing her journey back to her earliest soccer memories and her senior Red Flames debut against the Netherlands. Given her major tournament experiences representing Belgium at 2 European Championships, she shares how she learned to navigate that elite pressure and the advice she would give to her younger self.Amber also talks about her evolution as a player, reflecting on her initial time in the Belgian domestic league with OH Leuven, navigating the tactical hurdles of razor-thin second-place finishes, before unlocking her potential in the English WSL with West Ham United, and now thriving in Germany in front of Union Berlin's jaw-dropping, record-breaking crowds of over 17,000 supporters. She takes us into the locker room to discuss the delicate balance of adjusting to the unique physical demands of the Frauen-Bundesliga and how a highly anticipated club reunion with international teammate Hannah Eurlings directly impacts her squad's on-field cohesion and defensive chemistry.Amber shares why the Union Berlin long-term project was the perfect step for her career, with the club heavily investing into world-class infrastructure, the exact mindset required to serve as a focal point in the squad, and the profound pieces of wisdom that altered how she views the game, including how a defender channels the confidence of scoring an international hat-trick on the world stage. She walks us through her 50-cap milestone with the Red Flames, detailing the evolution of her leadership role on the backline and the legacy she aims to leave behind for country and club alike.Lastly, she shares what excites her about the upcoming international playoffs and World Cup qualifiers, her short and long term goals for her personal soccer vision board, and so much more!Thank you all for listening!

The Trump/Xi summit produces two pandas and not much else, violence in Ethiopia could have massive regional consequences, and Manchester City is found guilty of nearly a decade of cheating.Tommy and Ben close the loop on Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington and how Trump walked away with only vague commitments. On Iran, Trump is reportedly planning to resume bombing after the midterms, and a workaround in the Strait of Hormuz is getting oil flowing again, but it may make Trump less likely to cut a deal. A potential plot at a UK base used by US bombers to strike Iran ends with five British men arrested. The guys do a deep dive into Ethiopia, where a peace deal from 2022 is unraveling and the risk of a conflict that could merge with the wars in Sudan and Somalia is very real. Manchester City is found guilty on 115 charges of breaking Premier League financial rules for nearly a decade — and the story highlights the complications of state-owned entities with unlimited money buying their way into sports. OpenAI pauses its latest model because it kept lying, and a previous model hacked an Australian healthcare website. And finally, we take a tour of Trump's ambassador corps: Charles Kushner ignoring France's foreign ministry, Kimberly Guilfoyle steering contracts to her boyfriend's clients in Greece, and the US ambassador to Belgium picking a fight over circumcision. At the end of the show, Tommy speaks to Sam Vigersky, an international affairs fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, about the dangerous on-the-ground reality in Haiti and how the Trump administration is making it worse.Hate listening to ads?

Alexi Lalas, David Mosse, and Stu Holden are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! The USA picked up their 2nd straight win of the international fall window, defeating Chile 4-2. Sebastian Berhalter, Julian Hall, Chris Richards, and Mathis Albert all got on the scoresheet for the USA in the big win. With his goal, Mathis Albert became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the US Men's National Team. Alexi, Mosse, and Stu break down all the action including which of the youngsters stood out the most and if any progress was made in our great goalkeeper hunt. We then look ahead to Saturday's match with Mexico and give some love to Cavan Sullivan who starred in a substitute appearance. After wrapping up the USA win, the guys recap action from the CONCACAF Nations League that saw Curaçao and Haiti build off their World Cup appearances with wins. Then we recap the UEFA Nations League that saw Jürgen Klopp's Germany fall to Greece, Michael Olise give France a winner over Belgium, Lamine Yamal star for Spain, and Harry Kane bag another goal for England. In #AskAlexi, we discuss what impact Manchester City's recent controversy could have on Cavan Sullivan joining the club and debate which of these young USA players is most likely to make an impact in the CONCACAF Nations League. We finish with One for the Road, where Alexi poses the question: which position has the smartest soccer players?

The day may have been full of activity, yet tonight someone may still be asking a deeper question: Did today matter? Does my life have purpose? Where am I going from here? Lord, be near to people in Belgium, Israel, the United Kingdom, Ghana, the Philippines and New Zealand. Meet the person who feels disappointed with today, the person who is questioning their direction, and the person who feels that their contribution is too small to matter. Jesus, Your Word reminds us that we are God's handiwork, created in Christ. Our worth is not determined by productivity, applause or comparison. We belong to You. Holy Spirit, renew our understanding of purpose and help us see the good that can grow from an ordinary faithful life. Father, perhaps today did not go according to plan. We surrender that disappointment. Perhaps we achieved more than we expected. We surrender that success too. Keep our hearts free from pride and despair. God of Israel, show us how to live faithfully in the season You have given us. Help us recognise the small acts of love that matter: encouraging someone, caring for family, praying for another person, showing kindness, forgiving, serving and simply remaining faithful. As night approaches, we release tomorrow into Your hands. We do not need to have the whole future mapped out tonight. Give us peace for this evening and enough hope to meet tomorrow when it comes. Jesus, You are our purpose, our peace and our hope. Let us rest knowing that our lives are held by You. In Jesus' name, Amen. Blessing May Jesus remind you tonight that your life has purpose, your faithfulness matters, and tomorrow remains safely within the hands of God.

Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Executive Chairman Steve Marshall and Chief Finanncial Officer Andrew Ewe joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's first-quarter trading update for the financial year ending March 31, 2027, highlighting continued growth across its portfolio and increasing demand for AI-related digital infrastructure services. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, portfolio revenue increased 20.2% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, while EBITDA rose 2.0%. Management noted that EBITDA growth was temporarily affected by project revenue phasing and customer transitions, but expects momentum to strengthen throughout the remainder of the fiscal year as recently secured contracts begin contributing revenue and a growing sales pipeline converts into long-term business. Revenue growth was supported in part by the integration of BT Ireland, which was acquired in September 2025. Cordiant reported that integration efforts and synergy initiatives are progressing well and contributing positively to the portfolio. A major theme of the quarter was the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence on demand for digital infrastructure. Across its portfolio companies, Cordiant continued converting AI-related opportunities into contracted revenue. At CRA, the company signed six GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) contracts worth approximately £6.5 million in committed annual recurring revenue. Meanwhile, Hudson secured a five-year, 1.8-megawatt agreement with an AI cloud provider, helping increase utilization on its sixth floor to approximately 83% and moving the facility significantly closer to EBITDA breakeven levels. Elsewhere, DCU signed a 3-megawatt high-density data centre contract at its Machelen facility in Belgium. While revenue directly attributable to AI workloads currently represents less than 1% of total portfolio revenue, management views AI as a significant new growth driver with substantial long-term potential. Cordiant also announced that construction has officially begun on the first phase of its Prague Gateway data centre project following the signing of an engineering, procurement and construction contract with Skanska. The initial phase represents an investment of up to £74 million. Looking ahead, Cordiant highlighted a substantial pipeline of expansion opportunities. The company estimates that committed and identified growth projects across its portfolio represent at least £410 million of potential capital investment capable of generating attractive double-digit internal rates of return. When including projects still under evaluation—such as the AI Gigafactory initiative, additional data centre capacity expansions and potential acquisitions—the total opportunity pipeline could exceed £1 billion. Marshall emphasized that securing funding to pursue these high-return growth opportunities is now a key strategic priority for the company. #proactiveinvestors #CordiantDigitalInfrastructure #lse #cord #DataCentres #DataCenters #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #PragueGateway #AIGigafactory #GPU #CloudComputing #DigitalInfrastructureInvestment #DataSovereignty #5G #CzechRepublic #InvestorNews #GrowthInvesting #Infrastructure

Most leaders are promoted because they're excellent at strategy, operations, or delivering results. But very few are ever taught how to lead people or give feedback. And that's where things fall apart.Rebecca Dhrimaj is on a mission to redefine what leadership looks like in the C-suite and beyond. As a Chief Empathy Officer of The Empathy Collective, Rebecca empowers leaders to coach teams and give honest feedback through change, one conversation at a time.Rebecca shares how she “stumbled into” her business model through lived experience and hard-earned insight. She walks us through a powerful case study of her work with a large customer excellence team, where leadership training directly mapped to measurable improvements in employee engagement and change readiness scores. This isn't theory—it's tangible impact.We also talk about why leaders often rise because of their technical and business acumen, but are rarely equipped with the skills to navigate human emotion. Rebecca explains why starting with a WHY of genuine care and understanding your team's collective strengths can transform even the most disruptive change into momentum instead of burnout.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com and search by episode title.Listen in for…Rebecca's Three Phases of Change Readiness ModelCreating more effective one-on-ones that include proactive career conversationsWhy you have to do the inner work as a leader to best lift your team and organizationHow to build honest two-way feedback with your team "You don't necessarily have to always be on the lookout for things, but if you're asking the right questions in your one-on-ones with your people, floodgates will open, and they will talk, and they will share." — Rebecca DhrimajEpisode References: Rebecca's Action Learning Coaching Guide: https://bit.ly/4rG0LPmThe Middle Matters: A Toolkit for Middle Managers by Jeff SigalArticle in Change Conversations newsletter referencing Meet Your Inner Team cardsThe Empathy Edge podcast:Rebecca Geshuri: When Good Moms Feel Bad and Why Supporting Them is a Leadership ImperativeJamie Greenwood: Why Empathy for Others Starts with Compassion for YourselfAbout Rebecca Dhrimaj, Chief Empathy Officer, The Empathy Collective:As Chief Empathy Officer, Rebecca's mission is to redefine the role of the C-Suite by empowering leaders to coach people through change, one conversation at a time. After leading change management for an organizational restructuring, she noticed there was a lack of tools available to leaders dealing with the human side of change: the emotions, the fear, the resistance. She discovered that when leaders start with a WHY of caring and an intimate understanding of their team's collective strengths, any change is possible. When she is not preparing teams for change, she laces up her running shoes and tunes into an audiobook. Fun fact: she has lived in the US, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France and always has a secret stash of Belgian chocolate.Connect with Rebecca:The Empathy Collective and Resilient Change Leader™ course: theempathycollective.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rebeccadhrimaj Podcast - Return on Empathy: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/return-on-empathy/id1750060452 From Our Sponsor:Get$500 off with code EDGE500 at checkout: retreat.therisingmastermind.comConnect with Maria:Get Maria's books: Red-Slice.com/booksHire Maria to speak: Red-Slice.com/Speaker-Maria-RossTake the LinkedIn Learning Courses!

This week on the pod the boys go over the biggest news of the year so far, Manchester City are found GUILTY of 114/115 charges. What does this mean for the Premier League, and what should the punishment be for what is possibly the biggest sport scandal ever. Meanwhile during the International break, Italy lose in embarrassing fashion to Belgium with terrible performances from the squad. The lads give their impressions on Mancini's first game back in charge and if the panic button should be in the room. And over on Patreon a new episode of Q&A has just been released! Some wild questions from our Patrons were answered with some heated moments….

Lisa Dent, checks in with the newsroom to hear their stories, including an announcement of the 2028 release of Gremlins 3, Mary’s chandelier and bird dropping tales from her trip in Belgium, and Yes’ Rick Wakeman plays the keys for a bunch of Vietnamese moon bears.

Rabid Grannies is one of those movies where you can occasionally see the makings of a good trashy horror romp, only to have them immediately swallowed by the filmmaking. There are some genuinely grotesque ideas buried in here, and the basic premise of sweet old grandmothers turning into bloodthirsty monsters has plenty of potential. Unfortunately, the movie seems determined to hide whatever fun it might have under a thick layer of technical incompetence. The biggest problem is the ADR. So much of the dialogue sounds like it was recorded in a completely different room, sometimes at a completely different time, and the synchronization is frequently distracting enough to pull you right out of the movie. Even worse, a lot of the dialogue is borderline unintelligible. Characters talk, you can see their mouths moving, and yet somehow the actual words seem to have been lost somewhere between Belgium and your television. Then there's the lighting, which may be even more frustrating. Large portions of Rabid Grannies are so poorly lit that you're left trying to figure out what is actually happening in the frame. Horror can certainly benefit from darkness, but there is a difference between atmospheric shadows and simply not being able to see the damn movie. Some of the gore and creature work might have been fun if the camera had bothered to illuminate it properly. There is something interesting lurking inside Rabid Grannies, and if the technical presentation weren't so consistently awful, it might have been a much more entertaining piece of low-budget horror. Instead, you're forced to spend too much of the running time deciphering dialogue and squinting at nearly invisible action. It's not completely devoid of charm, but the movie buries most of its potential beneath its own terrible production values.

Brandon McNulty is the 2026 road world champion. Team USA's 8-man squad outplayed Mathieu van der Poel, Remco Evenepoel and Wout van Aert at the UCI Road World Championships in Montreal, and Michael Matthews rode to a heroic silver for Australia with almost no team support. On this week's Social Club, Alex Clements and AFL captain Max Gawn break down the most chaotic Worlds road race in years. We cover how the race unfolded and how Team USA used their numbers perfectly, with Matteo Jorgensen and Quinn Simmons setting up McNulty's winning attack. We also get into why Belgium's plan fell apart, Isaac del Toro's huge workload for Mexico, and Tom Pidcock's late move. And we ask the big question: should Australia have sent a full team to back Bling?Plus we recap Demi Vollering's thrilling win in the women's elite road race, Talia Appleton's fifth in the women's U23s, Jack Ward's top 10 in the men's U23s, the junior races, and the rest of the week in pro cycling.

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Bryan Adams was gigging successfully in the Vancouver scene at age 15 and he eventually became the first Canadian artist to sell 1M copies in his home country. Rob, Tom, and Adam get together to discuss 80s pinch harmonics, hair metal ballad formulas, and the factory approach to songwriting.

It's our final league preview episode on ACROSS THE CONTINENT, and to wrap up our journey through Europe's top 9 divisions, we're bringing you our takes on THE NETHERLANDS, BELGIUM, and TURKEY's top flights. Beginning in The Netherlands' Eredivisie, we debate the order of the big 5, speculate if anyone can keep pace with PSV, explain why Ajax still has a ways to go in their restructuring, and highlight AZ Alkmaar's exciting roster. Over in Belgium's Pro League, we compare four sides off to flying starts – Union St Gilloise, Club Brugge, Gent, and Sporting Charleroi. Are these the clubs that will be battling for the title? And could Genk, Sint Truiden, or Royal Antwerp join them? Finally, in Turkey's Süper Lig, everyone is once again chasing Galatasaray. Will this be the year Fenerbahce finally catches them? And what about Mo Salah's Trabzonspor, who have already had a chaotic start to the season? We also explain why we're so high on Besiktas and why we think Vincenzo Italiano is one of Europe's most underrated managers. Plus, we discuss the strengths and weakness of each league as a whole. Who has the most depth in the midtable? And how would the best clubs in each other's divisions? Cheers to Okan Buruk! Chapters: 00:00 – the start 01:53 – Netherlands 15:04 – Belgium 23:51 – Turkey

The “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory claims that powerful elites are deliberately replacing white populations through immigration. Under the second Trump administration, people who speak its language are representing the United States abroad. Josef Burton returns to QAA for a tour of the increasingly pilled world of American diplomacy. He explains how the department actually works, then looks at the officials and political appointees bringing white nationalist conspiracism into its public messaging and immigration policy. Along the way, we discuss “remigration,” an ambassador whose online antics have caused diplomatic headaches in Belgium, and the truth behind State Department's traditionally staid image Bruce Oreck's Holiday Card https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/diplomatic-muscle-yes-ambassador-finlands-holiday-card-n282181 Josef Burton on Twitter https://x.com/PinstripeBungle Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: www.patreon.com/qaa Click here to become a subscriber to Cursed Media today to get access to new episodes of Raising Hell releasing right now, plus our other exclusive Cursed Media series: https://cursedmedia.net Produced by Liv Agar & Corey Klotz.

On this episode of The Captain, presented by Verizon, Tyler Adams reflects on the lessons learned from the 2026 World Cup, from the emotional high of singing “Country Roads” alongside USMNT fans to the heartbreaking loss to Belgium. Tyler also shares what it was like inside the clubhouse during the fallout from Flo Balogun's red card. He reveals the secrets behind the Premier League rise of “The 3 B's”—Bournemouth, Brentford, and Brighton—and reflects on playing against Andoni Iraola and why he believes Iraola will continue to thrive at Liverpool. The conversation also explores Adams' role as a veteran leader guiding a new generation of U.S. talent and the culture being built ahead of the 2030 World Cup cycle.Check out the Men in Blazers Shop: https://mibcourage.co/4qIb2L1Sign up for our newsletters: https://mibcourage.co/4rA5fGzJoin our Discord! https://discord.gg/9dUpP2pHHUChapters00:00:00 - Facing Former Manager Andoni Iraola00:06:54 - Fan Questions00:09:43 - USMNT's WC Run00:12:11 - Balogun's Red Card Drama00:14:42 - Youth Development Within U.S. Soccer00:21:46 - USMNT Stars Left Off September Camp00:25:14 - Rapid Fire Fan QuestionsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Imagine not recognising the food in the shops, markets and restaurants around you. Moving to a new country to live and work can come with some culture shocks and food can be a big part of that.

Chinese Canadian chef Kelvin Cheung has lived in Belgium and India and today has a restaurant called Jun's in Dubai.

We look at three solutions connected to the “three Rs” – reduce, reuse and recycle. The city of Brussels in Belgium is in the process of moving all 40 municipal nurseries over to reusable nappies – and have managed to do it without their staff kicking up a stink! Also energy companies around the world have found ways to encourage customers to reduce their consumption by making it fun, and lastly we meet Makafui Awuku in Ghana - a man on a mission to turn used plastic into school desks.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

In our series: How AI is revolutionising Energy, Laurent and Gerard dive deep into the intricate corner of Energy Management system for large industrial clusters.  You would believe that legacy providers such as Siemens, Schneider Electric or Hitachi would provide such solutions. They are not. Indeed, they provide legacy Scada systems which are hardware linked and bottom up. There is no glue to optimise them as a group and deliver access to Energy markets.  Two young Belgian engineers have decided to address this blind spot and come up with a new generation of software: AI powered EMS. That is what Companion Energy has achieved. We bring in its CEO Thomas Vyncke.  Most of the European energy conversation still focuses on front-of-the-meter flexibility: batteries, renewables and other assets participating in wholesale and balancing markets. Thomas' thesis is that an equally important — and much less developed — opportunity sits behind the meter, inside large industrial and commercial companies.  The problem is complexity. Every enterprise site is different: different tariffs, contracts, generation assets, batteries, EV fleets, boilers, industrial processes, grid constraints and operating requirements. The opportunity therefore isn't simply to buy cheaper electricity or optimise one battery. It is to continuously optimise the entire energy system of the site against its operational and financial reality.  That is what Vyncke and co-founder Jonas Verstraeten are building with Companion.energy, founded in 2022. The platform provides transparency on energy costs and automates optimisation across complex behind-the-meter environments.  The company says it currently optimises more than €500m of energy spend and 350+ MW of assets across Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Romania, working with companies including Proximus, TotalEnergies and Port of Antwerp-Bruges. It recently raised a €7.8m seed round to support international expansion.  And it is just the beginning…   With the energy industry's largest proprietary dataset, world-class experts and decision-grade models, all powered by Synoptic AI, Wood Mackenzie delivers Intelligence Connected across the energy and natural resources landscape.
