Decarb Connect

Krista Johnson brings a real passion for enabling universal access to clean energy to this episode of the podcast. Listen in for a conversation that explores what it means to get true customer-driven demand for projects and how to engage authentically and positively with the neighbours and stakeholders of your projects.

Anyone working to execute major projects in decarb or energy transition knows that customer engagement is increasingly requiring a total change in approach. In the US, the incentive-based policy approach absolutely demands that projects have real customer buy-in. Early engagement is key to invite stakeholders on the transformation journey and address fears of new technologies.

Takeaways:

o Why is it so essential – commercially, ethically, strategically – to have consumer/local engagement?

o Listen to a comparison of two different project approaches to get a feel for how the landscape is changing and how different approaches yield different outcomes

o Explore how to work with communities as partners from the start to build trust and support

o What adopting a curiosity about community plans can do for your commercial project’s success.

o How is Johnson Matthey taking a lead in this space to help deliver the energy transition
