Energy Enablers: The FORESIGHT podcast with those making a difference in the energy transition artwork

A podcast about the people in the energy transition.The energy transition will only succeed with the people who make it a reality: the consumers, the lawmakers, the engineers, the technicians, the decision-makers and the innovators. We call them The Enablers.In the Energy Enablers podcast, a regular series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, we will speak to those who are making a difference in the race to a decarbonised economy.Join FORESIGHT’s Editor-in-Chief, David Weston, to hear from Enablers that are working in the energy sector, discussing what motivates them, their journey to where they are today, and how they think the energy transition is going.Learn more at www.energyenablers.com.

Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features. Click here to access on Apple or Android. The use of hydrogen in the energy sector is an idea that isn’t going anywhere. But there are many hurdles that need to be overcome if it is to truly impact the quest for a decarbonised economy. While it is a clean-burning fuel and can take advantage of using r

Understanding digital twins

Mar 08 2024 30 mins

Digital twins have long been used to help monitor renewable energy generation assets. But with the growth of new digital tools able to support the use of this data, digital twins are becoming vital tool to maximise production. Joining David on Energy Enablers this week is Werner Coppye, co-founder and CTO at 3E, a provider of digital solutions for renewable energy projects.&nb

Understanding the future of e-mobility

Feb 23 2024 36 mins

The shift towards a future where electric vehicles (EV) rule the road seems inevitable. As a result, grid operators, consumers and software companies can now concentrate on taking advantage of the new business models that are emerging in this market. Such models were not possible in a market dominated by internal combustion engines. In this episode of Energy Enablers, David sp

Understanding Industry 4.0

Feb 16 2024 24 mins

Digitalisation is playing an ever-growing role in how we operate systems and processes. None more so than in the industrial sector, where digital tools are helping to accelerate and economise processes. In this episode of Energy Enablers, Babara Frei, executive vice president of Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric, tells David about how a new generation of digital tech

Understanding bi-directional charging

Feb 13 2024 27 mins

The sheer number of electric vehicles on our roads today means the storage capacity that is being connected to the grid is also growing. If grid operators were able to access and manage that capacity—of course, without impacting the vehicle owners—it could go a long way in supporting the energy transition. In this episode of Energy Enablers, David is joined by Stefan

Understanding insurance in the energy transition

Feb 08 2024 22 mins

Insurance is often seen as a necessary evil. It’s a cost that is often only beneficial when the worst happens. But the sector is trying to reposition itself as much more as an enabler for the energy transition. In this episode, recorded on the fringes of the Green Zone at COP28 in Dubai, David speaks to Andy Cox, head of energy transition at insurance broker Howden. And

Understanding ammonia in shipping

Feb 05 2024 28 mins

With greater attention falling on the use of aviation for travel and the movement of goods, the shipping sector has escaped a lot of scrutiny. This is changing fast, however, as more decarbonisation focus is being placed on supply chains and the so-called Scope 3 emissions. With many alternative propulsion options available to sea-faring vessels, a major hurdle is deciding whi

Understanding energy efficiency

Feb 02 2024 17 mins

At the COP28 talks in Dubai last December, the clean energy sector was enthused by the commitment to “triple up” renewables capacity. But the other half of the campaign was to “double down” on energy efficiency measures. Minimising energy usage through efficient and sustainable programmes will make the renewable energy target much easier—and cheaper—to achieve, whi
