Net Hero Podcast – With Sumit Bose

We've featured so many stories on batteries here on the Net Hero Podcast so it takes something to get us interested. However the work Charlie Welch and his team at ZapBatt based in California is doing did make me take notice. They're working on using a type of batter that lasts longer, holds more charge and importantly can be reused for far far longer so it causes less environmental damage in term...

In this episode find out why one of the UK's poorest boroughs has invested heavily in rooftop solar for a school and how the Ukrainian renewable sector is trying to bravely carry on as infrastructure all around is blown to bits

What happens to your hair once it leaves your head and what about the chemicals?

If your EV starts playing up you can't look under the hood to see what's up, you will need to check the health of the battery cells so how do you do that without taking something apart? Well a team of scientists led by Prof Peter Kruger head of Experimental Physics at Sussex University, have come up with a way to do just that using quantum physics to make a 'camera scanner' to see if your battery...

Listen to today’s podcast with Gemserv’s Rob Honeyman on the critical role low carbon heating has to play in the net zero journey and what next steps should be taken

This is the last episode of the Net Hero Podcast this year and it's a cracker. Sumit Bose started this podcast to hear from businesses, politicians, academics and the great and the good working towards net zero. But Sumit also wanted to highlight ordinary people doing something because they believe it's the right thing to do and that's what this episode is all about.

In this week's episode you'll hear two very interesting chats that Sumit Bose had at COP26. The first was an obscure stand behind the back of the Blue Zone where I met Vincent Huang the offical artist of Tuvalu - he is bizarrely Tiwanese and specialises in art depicting climate change, frankly fascinating and the second part is a conversation with an old friend of ours here at futurenetzero.com -...

In this week's Net Hero podcast Sumit Bose is joined by Alex Goody the CEO of Gemserv. They take a look back at the events and conversations from COP26 and of course the plethora of commitments.

Listen to our latest podcast with EQUANS’ Mark Dolling on the 'School Zero' project - set up to help get schools on a greener pathway

Listen to our latest podcast with ENA’s Randolph Brazier on what the networks are doing to help in the energy transition and the key role they play

On this week’s podcast, Sumit Bose spoke to Catherine McGuinness, Board member of TheCityUK and Chair of the Policy and Resources Committee, on the importance of finance in this year’s climate summit, as well as its impacts in the future. She labelled the conference  “the finance COP”  – but what does this mean?

The final episode from COP26 and Sumit Bose spoke to some of the business people of Scotland working on delivering net zero  

Today was youth and pubic empowerment day - so the young people took to the streets actually they didn't, some did to listen to Greta but there were a lot of oldies in the crowd. However we went off the beaten track to a fringe event where it was just young people, international scouts in fact and they told me what they want from the businesses of today to secure the future of tomorrow. I can tell...

Today was energy day at COP26 and we had a lot about killing off coal but there was lots more too. Sumit Bose was walking through the ‘action zone’ when who decided to offer a talk to us all, none other than Al Gore the former US Vice President and his message around net zero was actually quite positive! Sumit then spoke to two energy sector advocates that are vital for the transition – nuclear an...
