SunCast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Nico Johnson
As we close out another transformative year for cleantech, it seems the pace of the energy transition still falls short of what will be needed to meet our global climate goals. That's the consensus from our panel of experts in our annual end-of-year Cleantech Podcasters Roundtable discussion.This semi-annual review recognizes both the triumphs and the hurdles within the global renewable energy sector in the past year. From the IRA to our favorite tech company interviews, the challenges of grid infrastructure and everything between, this roundtable takes on the bold task of critically assessing 2023 and the direction we're heading. Various topics are discussed like emerging market trends, rising interest rates, critical global events like COP28, and the complex relationship between authoritarianism and climate action. Listen as fellow podcasters Mike Casey, Marie Burgquist, Bill Nussey, Dana Perkins, David Roberts, and Chris Caldwell join Nico on the stage each to add their regional and market-focused perspectives. They discuss their favorite companies and topics they’ve come across this year, such as thermal and gravity energy storage solutions, advancements in emissions accounting, and the potential of off-grid renewables, to name a few. Our podcasters have covered topics this year as varied as grid architecture, degrowth frameworks, and risk assessments in the insurance industry. The panel serves up a helpful dish of insights gleaned from their hundreds of collective conversations so settle in with a hot toddy and enjoy the banter!If you want to connect with today's guest, you’ll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today’s guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalusMentioned in this episode:CPS July 2024 V2
