The Energy Transition Show with Chris Nelder

How much clean energy could offshore wind provide in the US, and what do we need to do to develop the offshore wind sector?

Can we confidently undertake the energy transition without knowing exactly all the answers or where the journey will take us?

Many utilities are actively working against the energy transition and abusing their monopoly power, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

How well do integrated assessment models reflect the trajectory of the energy transition, and how can we make their scenarios more useful to policymakers?

What motivates people to accept or reject a proposal to build a new renewable energy facility in their communities?

How National Grid ESO, Great Britain’s transmission network operator, is enhancing its grid to ensure stability while integrating more variable renewable power.

What does the IPCC Working Group III report say about the energy transition pathways and probabilities to limiting warming to 1.5 and 2°C? Part 2 of 2.

What does the IPCC Working Group III report say about the energy transition pathways and probabilities to limiting warming to 1.5 and 2°C? Part 1 of 2.

How can the West stop funding the war on Ukraine by reducing their imports of Russia’s fossil fuels and minerals, and accelerating the energy transition?

Could thermal storage meet much of the demand for energy in a high-renewables future, and radically reduce the expected need for battery storage?

Has the world ever transitioned from one fuel to another as quickly as we need to do this transition in order to meet our climate targets?

How much and what kinds of storage will be needed as variable renewables become more dominant on the power grid, and when and where will it be needed?

How are green bonds evaluated and rated to ensure that they’re really green and will have an impact on climate change?

How can the world align with the IEA’s scenarios for limiting warming to 1.5 degrees, and how should the oil & gas industry proceed in the energy transition?

What is the outlook for oil and gas, and how will the world manage the supply/demand balance as the energy transition proceeds?

What is the political economy of energy transitions, and what do we need to understand about it in order to make the energy transition a success?

In this second part of a two-part interview, we look at Russia’s gas, coal, nuclear, and renewables, and ask how it will fare as the energy transition proceeds.

In this first part of a two-part interview, we talk with Professor Thane Gustafson about Russia’s oil sector.

What needs to happen to get new transmission projects moving in the US, and how can the provisions of the new infrastructure law help?

How can the world shut down the coal industry faster and more equitably, while delivering the best outcomes for the public?

A new approach to energy forecasting finds that the energy transition is feasible, affordable, and most importantly, inevitable.

A global energy crunch is driving up the costs of all energy sources. But will it lead to renewed energy transition efforts, or reneging on climate commitments?

What are some of the reforms that can make electricity markets more friendly to the technologies and needs of the energy transition?

Energy researcher Jonathan Koomey rejoins us to review some of the major themes in energy transition over the past year.

What is the state of marine energy technologies, and how can we capture marine energy sustainably and safely while minimizing environmental damage?
