Dr. Katerina Kimmorley co-founded Pollinate Energy, a solar startup,  in Bangalore India. She's since helped expand that business to three more cities, cutting carbon and transforming lives. What drove her from Sydney to the the London School of Economics and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation ? Dr. Kimmorley tells Dr Karl - (and is at the Sydney Spark statup festival). https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-role-of-women-entrepreneurs-in-tackling-climate-change-tickets-49158532494 http://sparkfestival.co/program/#

In 2016, Katerina Kimmorley was working in India with her solar energy social enterprise, Pollinate Energy, bringing real, tangible change to the lives of thousands of people living without electricity in India's urban slums. So what brought her home after years away to the world of venture capital and renewable energy start-ups? In this episode we hear about her journey to the helm of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation's Innovation Fund where she has a front row seat to Australia's energy revolution, and where she sees the future of renewables heading. For more information on the work of the fund and the projects she mentions go to arena.gov.au/blog or cefc.com.au

In the slums of Bangalore, children cannot do their homework after the sun sets. Families use polluting kerosene lamps, and the fuel eats up a significant percentage of their humble incomes. Pollinate Energy trains members of the local community to distribute and install solar lighting systems as micro-entrepreneurs. We talk to Monique Alfris and Ben Merven, co-founders at Pollinate Energy, about their initiative.

Monique Alfris and her team sell solar powered lights to people in India. She does this through an organisation called Pollinate Energy, which Monique co-founded in 2012.  I was inspired by Monique's story after hearing her presentation at the recent Green Cities conference in Sydney, Australia. I really wanted to ask Monique about why Pollinate Energy was created and to see what learning might be applied to housing in Australia and New Zealand.
