Talking New Energy

37. Blockchain's role in the energy transition

Spoiler alert: this isn't just about blockchain. It's about companies that are solving problems in the energy transition - who happen to be using blockchain as part of their solution. In this episode Jon Slowe talks with Christopher Burgahn, Product & Partner Manager, Share and Charge Foundation; Joanna Hubbard, Co-Founder and CEO at Electron; and Delta-EE expert Neil Atterbury, exploring the role that blockchain is playing in the transition from old to new energy.

36. What can Europe learn from Japan, and what can Japan learn from Europe?

Following our Europe-Japan New Energy Forum held in Tokyo in February 2020, host Jon Slowe discusses how the energy transition is unfolding in Japan. He is joined by Hideo Yamamoto, Director of ABeam Consulting, and Delta-EE's Leon Gielen.

35. Peer to peer business models in the energy sector

In this episode, we’re looking at P2P business models in the energy sector. In the shift from old to new energy, we’re moving from 10s of large power plants to thousands, and towards millions of energy producers – or prosumers. Will customers continue to buy electricity from traditional electric retailers? Or, will businesses that connect buyers and sellers be the future? Host Jon Slowe is joined by two people at the forefront of this sector in Europe - Christian Chudoba, CEO of Lumenaza, and Lars Falch, MD of Powerpeers Connect; as well as Delta-EE expert, Alix Weil.

In this episode, host Jon Slowe explores this question with Gilles Corby, previously energy insights product manager at British Gas, and Stephen Galsworthy, Chief Digital Officer at Quby, together with Delta-EE expert David Trevithick.
