EP 342 - Oil. love it, hate it or just want to use less of it? Like it or not you can’t avoid it.

We chat to Greg Newman, CEO of Onyx Capital Group, who helps us to unpick our planet’s tricky relationship with black gold. We talk democratising derivatives, tricky transitions and how increased transparency can help to build a fairer energy future.
