Send me a messageAccess to validated climate data sources is not trivial. What happens though if you want validated, regularly updated data that you can integrate with your systems?That is where Sust Global comes in. Sust Global uses credible, validated regularly, updated climate data sources, and provides integrations so organisations have access to this data in their systems to enable climate risk assessments down to individual asset level.To learn more I invited Sust Global co-founder and CEO Josh Gilbert (@JoshGilbertUK on Twitter) to come on the podcast. We had a fascinating conversation discussing how technology advances (in satellites, for example) have improved climate data, the coming regulatory changes, and how we avoid analysis paralysis.This was an excellent episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page, head on over to the Climate 21 Podcast Forum, or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Send me a messageSome of the lesser talked about emissions reductions solutions are efficiency based solutions. In this week's episode of the Climate 21 podcast I talk to Christopher Angelo, CEO of Glass Dyenamics, a company working in this space.Glass Dyenamics uses dynamic glass (glass that changes its transparency when a low electric current is applied to it), to prevent buildings being overly warmed by the sun, thus reducing the energy load required to cool it. We had a fascinating conversation discussing the genesis of Glass Dyenamics, how dynamic glass works, and how it compares to solar.This was an excellent episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page, head on over to the Climate 21 Podcast Forum, or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Send me a messageThis week's episode of the podcast deals with methane once more.Last week's episode featured a startup in the methane space called Bennamann.

Send me a messageFugitive methane - what is it? And how can it be turned from a nasty climate emission into a source of energy, reduced emissions, and a way to reduce an organisation's costs, amongst other benefits?To answer these and more questions I invited Chris Mann, Co-Founder, and CTO of Bennamann to come on the podcast to tell us all about it.UPDATE: Chris emailed me to say the following - "Listening to it played back I realised that I had made an error when I gave an idea of the energy that could be generated from the methane captured from a small farm in a day.  I said that a daily capture of 100kg of methane equated to 15MWh of heat or provide about 7MWh of power and 0.8MWh of waste heat.  When I did the calculation in my head I was thinking of a ton to make the sums easier but I must have forgotten to divide back through. The correct answer is 1.5MWh of heat if burnt or about 0.7MWh of power and 0.8MW of waste heat in the latest FPT engines. Still not to be sniffed at especially at today’s prices and scarcity."This was an excellent episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page, head on over to the Climate 21 Podcast Forum, or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Send me a messageInvestment is a hugely important part of the fight against climate change. But where should the money come from?What if the money we invest for our pensions, life insurance, savings were put towards fighting the climate crisis, while at the same time making a profit for us?

That is the thinking behind Carbon Collective - an investment house that invests your money solely in nonfossil fuel-based companies, and with the shares it purchases, becomes an activist investor to pressure companies to work towards reducing their emissions.keen to know more I invited Carbon Collective Co-Founder Zach Stein on the podcast to tell me all about it.This was an excellent episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page, head on over to the Climate 21 Podcast Forum, or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.
