Future Energy Insights

AI is reshaping environmental stewardship, and in this episode of Future Energy Insights, we discuss how these systems can strengthen global ecosystem resilience. Our guests explore real‑time ecosystem sensing and data‑driven interventions that provide new insights into planning urban infrastructure and can support vulnerable communities. They also look at how emerging approaches to AI‑driven climate analytics and putting in place fit-for-purpose policy frameworks can provide new knowledge th...

Decarbonising heavy industry is one of the biggest challenges in the transition to a low-carbon economy, with steel at the heart of it. In this episode, Robin Mills welcomes Dr. Dimitrios Dimitriou, Senior Vice President for ESG and Sustainability at EMSTEEL, to explore what it will take to move green steel from pilot projects to a scalable commercial market. They discuss the lack of a universal definition of green steel, and how fragmented standards, certification and carbon accounting creat...

The world has entered an era where two forces - artificial intelligence and the global energy transition - are accelerating faster than our systems can keep up. AI is reshaping industries, straining power grids, and redefining what nations need to stay competitive. At the same time, clean‑energy deployment is surging, but it depends on a technology we don’t talk about enough: processing power. Semiconductors have quietly become the backbone of everything from data‑centre efficiency to grid op...

AI is moving beyond the digital world and into the physical industries that power the global economy. In this episode, Robin Mills welcomes Saravan Penubarthi Chief Technology Officer at AIQ, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the energy sector, from improving efficiency and production to enhancing safety, sustainability and decision-making. They discuss the growing relationship between AI and energy, and why the future will depend on both “energy for AI” and “AI for...

Electricity demand is entering a new era, driven by electrification, AI, population growth and the rapid expansion of new technologies. In this episode, Robin Mills speaks with Mazin Khan, CFO of Masdar, about how the global energy landscape is changing and what this means for the future of renewable energy from an economic and business perspective. They explore why solar, wind and battery storage are becoming increasingly competitive, how falling costs and improving technology are enabling r...
