Decarb Connect

Host: Tom Angus, Director of Conferences, Decarb ConnectGuest: Oskar Schortz, Co-Founder & CCO, GyroPlant In partnership with Urban Future Lab Every hydroponic farm in the world depends on growing substrates - the rockwool, coco coir, or peat that plants grow in and almost all of it ends up in landfill after a single use. It’s a supply chain problem hiding in plain sight, embedded in one of the world’s most critical industrial sectors.  In this episode of our mini-series in collaboration with Urban Future Lab, Tom is joined by Oskar Schortz is the Co-Founder and CCO of GyroPlant. They discuss how a small UK deep tech company is engineering its way out of that problem entirely, and what it means for the carbon footprint of controlled environment agriculture at commercial scale. GyroPlant, a materials and systems innovation company that has developed the GyroCup — a reusable, food-grade silicone growing vessel designed to last up to 10 years and replace disposable substrates across hydroponic and vertical farming operations. They're working with over 200 companies across multiple continents, including a formal Innovate UK project with Dole plc, and has participated in trade missions to Singapore and the UAE through Innovate UK’s Global Incubator Programme.  What you’ll take away:Understand what controlled environment agriculture actually is, and why GyroPlant is best understood as a materials and systems company rather than a farming or food businessWhy GyroPlant pivoted from designing whole growing systems to focusing specifically on the substrate problem and what they saw on farms that made that the priorityWhat substrates are, why every hydroponic farm currently depends on them, and why they represent a major sustainability liability in the food production supply chainHow the GyroCup works in practice and what the switchover from single-use growing media actually looks like for a commercial farmWhere the claimed 90% carbon saving versus the next best substrate option actually comes from - manufacturing, shipping, waste disposal, or all threeHow aware large food businesses are of the carbon footprint inside their growing media and whether they’re being asked to account for itWhether the indoor farming sector’s recent high-profile collapses create headwinds for GyroPlant or whether they actually accelerate demand as farms look to cut costsThe single most important environmental cost that large-scale growers are probably not measuring right nowShow Links:Connect with Oskar Schortz, CCO & Co-Founder of GyroPlantVisit the GyroPlant website to find out moreFollow GyroPlant on LinkedInOur strategic partner, Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon, is a non-profit innovation hub for best-in-class climatetech startups with a focus on clean energy and sustainable urban infrastructure solutions. Check out other episodes of the Decarb Connect podcast and suggest a future guest.Connect with Tom Angus, Director of Conferences of Decarb ConnectLearn more about Decarb ConnectOur global membership platform, events and facilitated introductions support leaders driving industrial and energy innovation.

Host: Tom Angus, Director of Conferences, Decarb ConnectGuest: Tom Fenton, CEO, Senze In partnership with Urban Future Lab The UK's housing stock is responsible for a significant share of the country's carbon emissions, and the estimated cost of retrofitting it sits at an eye-watering £500 billion. But what if a large portion of that spend is being directed at the wrong interventions, based on certificates and models that don't reflect how buildings actually perform?  In this second episode of our mini-series in collaboration with Urban Future Lab, Tom is joined by Tom Fenton, CEO and Co-Founder of Senze. They discuss how live sensor data and digital twin technology are exposing the gap between buildings 'as designed' and buildings as 'lived in', and why measuring first could transform both the economics and the impact of the UK's net zero retrofit mission. Tom Fenton co-founded Senze alongside David Partridge of Related Argent and Joseph Daniels of Project Etopia - a lineup that brings together data science, large-scale property development, and net zero housebuilding in a single founding team. Tom previously built Veritherm, where he first encountered the persistent gap between modelled and actual building performance. Senze deploys live sensors directly into buildings to capture real-time data on energy use and thermal behaviour, combining that with digital twin models to deliver actionable insights for building owners, landlords, and large estate managers - from housing associations in Northern Ireland to portfolios in New York. What you’ll take away:Why the EPC system is fundamentally broken and why one Senze pilot found a home performing 59% better than its rating predictedHow Senze’s combination of live sensors and digital twin models gives building owners something neither approach can deliver aloneWhy the £500 billion retrofit cost estimate could be dramatically reduced by measuring buildings before intervening in themWhat working on portfolios in New York has revealed about the universality of the performance gap problemWhether the government’s proposed EPC C standards for landlords by 2028–2030 will drive genuine improvement or simply a compliance scrambleWhy open, shared building performance data infrastructure, as championed by the Live Data Trust may be as important as any individual technologyShow Links:Connect with Tom Fenton, CEO of SenzeVisit the Senze website to find out moreOur strategic partner, Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon, is a non-profit innovation hub for best-in-class climatetech startups with a focus on clean energy and sustainable urban infrastructure solutions.Check out other episodes of the Decarb Connect podcast and suggest a future guest.Connect with Tom Angus, Director of Conferences of Decarb ConnectLearn more about Decarb ConnectOur global membership platform, events and facilitated introductions support leaders driving industrial and energy innovation.

Construction's Carbon Blind Spot: How Qualis Flow Is Fixing the Industry's Data ProblemHost: Tom Angus, Director of Conferences, Decarb Connect Guest: Brittany Harris, Co-Founder & CEO, Qualis Flow (Qflow) In partnership with Urban Future Labs Construction accounts for roughly 40% of global carbon emissions when embodied carbon and materials are factored in, yet most project teams still can't tell you what they're actually emitting until long after the concrete has been poured. In this opening episode of our mini-series in collaboration with Urban Future Labs, we explore why real-time construction data is emerging as a critical lever for decarbonising the built environment, and how smarter measurement can change both the economics and the carbon profile of major projects. Brittany Harris, a civil engineer turned founder, built Qualis Flow after seeing firsthand that the industry didn't have a data problem so much as a data capture problem. Qflow delivers the ground truth on construction sites, capturing real-time data on materials, waste, utilities, and carbon directly from site the moment it happens. No spreadsheets, no chasing suppliers, just fast, accurate data that helps teams ensure quality, reduce risk, minimise waste, and avoid costly rework or delays What you'll take away:Why construction is responsible for ~40% of global emissions and why the industry still isn't truly reckoning with itHow Qflow turns a site photo into reliable, audit-ready embodied carbon data and what that means for project teams working at scaleWhy the construction materials dataset Qflow is building may be as valuable as the software itselfThe international appetite for construction sustainability data, from the UK to the US, Canada, and beyondWhy procurement and planning frameworks are struggling to keep pace with the tools that already existShow Links:Connect with Brittany Harris, Co-Founder & CEO of Qualis FlowVisit the Qualis Flow website to find out more Follow Qualis Flow on LinkedIn for big ideas on driving more sustainable construction Find out more about our podcast miniseries partner Urban Future LabConnect with Tom Angus, Director of Conferences of Decarb ConnectLearn more about Decarb ConnectOur global membership platform, events and facilitated introductions support leaders driving industrial and energy innovation.

Rethinking Infrastructure: Decarbonization Through DurabilityHost: Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO, Decarb Connect Guest: Eric Van Genderen, Director of Environment, Health & Sustainability, International Zinc AssociationIndustrial co2 efforts tend to focus on fuels, technologies, and process change, yet a major source of avoidable emissions sits in plain sight: premature infrastructure failure. Roads, bridges, and wastewater systems that corrode decades earlier than planned lock in repeated cycles of repairs that are both carbon and capital-intensive. In this episode, we explore why durability is emerging as a critical lever in reducing lifetime emissions, and how smarter material choices can reshape the economics and carbon profile of long-life assets.Eric Van Genderen from the International Zinc Association makes the case that we're systematically miscounting the carbon cost of infrastructure by ignoring what happens when it fails early. The fix isn't new technology. Galvanised steel has been a proven solution for nearly a century. What's broken is the decision-making model where federal governments fund construction and municipalities inherit the replacement bill decades later, with no mechanism connecting upfront material choices to long-term carbon or cost outcomes.What you'll take away:Why adding 1–2% to upfront project costs can double infrastructure lifespan — and what that means for lifecycle carbon accountingThe Champlain Bridge as a case study: designed for 50 years, replaced at 30, and why its replacement is now rated for 100+A new metric worth knowing: decarbonisation potential measured in tonnes of CO₂ avoided per tonne of zinc installed Why the federal/municipal funding split is structurally blocking smarter material specificationWhere insurers fit in and why they're an emerging pressure point for longer-life assetsWhy legislation and building codes, not voluntary owner decisions, are the realistic lever for changeShow Links: Connect to Eric Van Genderen of the Zinc Association to explore their plans Find out more about zinc as an enabler of reduced embodied carbon in major projectsSuggest a podcast episode or guestConnect with Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO of Decarb Connect Learn more about Decarb ConnectOur global membership platform, events and facilitated introductions support leaders driving industrial and energy innovation.

Cemvision: Building Climate Solutions Without Subsidy Dependence Host: Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO Decarb ConnectGuest: Oscar Hållén, CEO of CemVision Oscar Hållén talks with Alex about how his Cemvision is disrupting one of the world's highest-emitting industries without relying on green premiums or subsidies. Cemvision reuses alternative chemical processes plus existing production infrastructure and circular feedstocks from steel and iron production to create a one-to-one replacement for Portland cement. This eliminates the calcination process, the primary cost and emissions driver in traditional cement production, while maintaining cost parity with incumbents from day one.Hållén argues that effective decarb requires industrial solutions that can survive policy shifts and stand on their own economic merits. He traces Cemvision's commercial partnerships with Vattenfall and Storex, explaining how trust-building, technical iteration and alignment on long-term vision enabled these collaborations. The conversation examines the current market moment, where industrial commitments to transition often outpace the politics, and explores the mental model of "creative destruction" as a forcing function for climate action rather than perpetual subsidisation of incumbent carbon-intensive processes.Key Takeaways:Design for cost parity from day one – find out how CemVision achieves price competitiveness immediately eliminating dependence on green premiums or policy supportBuild partnerships through technical iteration – explore how years of testing, trials and responsive iteration with partners like Vattenfall built the trust required to sell into a complex value chainCompeting with incumbents– listen to how the team position themselves to compete with traditional producers creating a competitive market positionCreate momentum independent of policy fluctuations  - how to find the right partners and investors in the private sector Match partnership timescales to scaling requirements - finding partners with visibility into future projects and willingness to invest early vs. those seeking immediate deploymentEpisode links: Find out about Cemvision’s work and its teamConnect with Oscar Hallen, CEO, CemvisionDownload info on Cemvision’s project with StorexConnect with Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO of Decarb ConnectLearn more about Decarb Connect: Our global membership platform, events and facilitated introductions support leaders driving industrial and energy innovation.  Our clients include the most energy-intensive industrials from cement, metals and mining, glass, ceramics, chemicals, O&G and many more along with technology disruptors, investors and advisors.  We have webinars monthly and in-person summits coming up in Houston, London, Hamburg, Boston and Toronto and the opportunity to find the biggest brains in energy and carbon management - your future collaborators.  For year-round introductions and meaningful insights, get in touch about your membership of the Decarbonization Leaders Network – so many benefits, hundreds of people equally focused on creating a resilient and profitable future for industry – find out more and talk with Jack Figg, Community Director.

Welcome to Podbites - short, sharp episodes designed to give you digestible insights on industrial decarbonisation. In this episode, Tim Atkinson (Director, Sales & Trading at CFP Energy) joins guest host Melissa Chew (VP, Product at Decarb Connect) to explore why UK industrials must act now to build a resilient carbon strategy. Recorded live at Decarb Connect UK in Manchester in March, the conversation unpacks the changes underway in carbon markets and why the firefighting of the 2022 energy crisis has shifted into an era of forward-looking strategy. What You’ll HearThe paradigm shift: With the power sector slashing emissions by 74% in just a decade, industry is now in the spotlight to deliver the next wave of reductions.The rising cost of delay: Waiting until 2030 could see carbon allowance costs double - or even triple.The opportunity window: Crisis mode is over. Companies finally have space to develop long-term carbon and energy plans - but only if they move before the next market shock.The need to plan ahead: Forward hedging carbon costs when prices are favorable is becoming essential.The technology gap: Solutions like hydrogen and carbon capture are still developing, raising questions about whether carbon prices will rise high enough to justify investment. Please note: this podcast was recorded at Decarb Connect UK in March 2025* Show links: -          Connect with Tim Atkinson and the team at CFP Energy-          Follow Melissa Chew on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb Connect-          Join Mel and a network of hardtech investors and series B+ tech disruptors at Decarb TechInvest in Boston (September 2025) Want to learn more about Decarb Connect? We provide insights and introductions that derisk decision-making and support industrial leaders in deploying decarbonization and low carbon product strategy.
