Welcome to the 12th series of the DNV Talks Energy podcast, hosted by Mathias Steck, Service Area Manager, Renewables Northern Europe, DNV. In the previous series, we focused on the role of businesses and policymakers in driving the energy transition forward. But the true impact of the move to clean energy is one felt by people and communities across the globe, and those same people also play a vital role in helping the world meet its carbon targets. The transition cannot be achieved only through technological innovation. It requires people-centric solutions and a more inclusive approach.   In the last series we explored energy agendas from an affordability, equity and social justice perspective. In this eight-episode series, we explore the human impact of the energy transition and the role that individuals and communities play within our shared global responsibility.   To find out more or read the transcription, please visit https://www.dnv.com/power-renewables/podcasts/   Please note: This episode was recorded prior to the conflict in Ukraine. The content and context do not reflect the current geo-political or economic developments related to the energy sector or the livelihoods of persons.

This final episode discusses how and why mindsets need to change in order to meet climate goals, and the role COP26 played in focusing minds on the task at hand. Mathias Steck speaks with Ditlev Engel, CEO of the Energy Systems business area at DNV, and Julie Shuttleworth, CEO at Fortescue Future Industries.The episode explores not just the mindset change required by politicians, large companies, and investors, but by those whose positive actions and co-operation are vital to achieving net zero – people and communities all over the world.

Renewable energy was a major priority in the COP26 agenda. So did political agreements help to further the cause for wind, solar and other renewable technologies? What more needs to be done to ensure that projects can be developed to meet the world’s energy needs without reliance on fossil fuels? In this episode, Mathias speaks with Una Brosnan, Head of Offshore Strategy & New Markets at Mainstream Renewable Power.

A rapid transition to clean power is vital. But how can financing also encourage the creation of a just and equitable transition? Episode four of DNV Talks Energy focuses on risks and opportunities of the energy transition, the disparity between still-developing and developed economies and low carbon adaptations for all types of communities. Mathias Steck speaks with Grace Park-Bradbury, General Manager-West and Head of Strategic Initiatives for climate justice company, BlocPower.   To find out more or read the transcription, please visit https://www.dnv.com/power-renewables/podcasts/

Delving deeper into the discussions at COP26, this episode focuses on the agreements made, how capital can be redirected in the right way, and where policy and government support is needed to drive this.

COP26 is a once in a generation moment. To meet the Paris Climate Agreement targets, emissions must halve by 2030 to meet a 1.5ºC future, but DNV forecasts they will fall by just 9%, and that the world will already exhaust the 1.5ºC budget in 2029. In this episode Mathias Steck - Service Area Renewables Northern Europe at DNV, is joined by DNV experts, Al-Karim Govindji, Head of Public Affairs Energy Systems, Hari Vamadevan, Senior Vice President, Regional Director UK & Ireland, and Sverre Alvik, Programme Director for the Energy Transition research programme in looking ahead to COP26. They’ll examine what’s on the agenda for the conference, what the key issues facing world leaders are and what outcomes we can expect from this important summit.   To find out more or read the transcription, please visit https://www.dnv.com/power-renewables/podcasts/

Floating offshore wind is an emerging technology with an exciting future – providing access to abundant wind power over deeper waters than bottom-fixed turbines. But how can countries harness the potential of this technology to reduce their carbon emissions and meet ambitious climate goals? In the second episode of our special edition documentary podcast, we explore two important aspects that will enable countries to move from initial pilot projects to wide scale deployment – technology innovation and policy support. In particular, we’ll hear from Jesper Moller, Head of Offshore Concepts & Solutions at Siemens Gamesa, and DNV’s Lucy Craig, Vice President of Technology & Innovation, about the key developments in floater technology and the wider infrastructure needed for them to thrive. Meanwhile, Sebastian Bringsværd, Head of Floating Wind at Equinor, and Stephane Cicolella, Business Integration Manager & Commercial Director at Eolfi (a Shell company), also give their views on the need for policymakers to create the conditions required to prove the viability of this potentially revolutionary technology.
