- Carbon Markets, The Deciding Factor For Widespread Climate Action?
This is the final episode of Season Two, listen in to the beginning of this episode for a conclusion to the season before the beginning of the episode, along with a preview of what Season Three might look like!
Corporations hold incredible power in the world of today. With international trade at an all-time high, the power of the internet, and interdependent countries trading trillions of dollars of goods, money talks. One of the strategies that has been in play for recruiting the corporations with control over a vast amount of the world’s resources, is giving emissions a price by creating carbon trading markets. Carbon trading markets seek to price out carbon by limiting total emissions and punishing entities who don’t adhere to that limit. This strategy could be the key to forcing some of the biggest polluters on the planet to start taking action on climate change, but could carbon markets instead provide a loophole for pollution-reliant companies to exploit? Only one way to find out. More resources below.

Innovating a Bright Future is the podcast that brings together technology and climate action in an engaging interview format that showcases some of the most interesting initiatives taking place across the globe. If you are someone who cares about climate change but you’re tired of hearing about how the world is going to explode in a few short years if we don’t do something soon (What does that even mean?), then this podcast is for you. We stay away from divisive politics and meaningless numbers with no context, and instead, I interview climate action leaders implementing revolutionary ideas that are helping to reduce our impact on the world around us. Listen to this podcast to learn, be inspired, and find new ideas to look into even more. If you are interested in getting involved, please use any of the contacts or social media listed below, and look into the links below for actionable things you can do right now.
Who am I?
My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I’ve noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can do for climate change is talk about it.” so let’s talk about it. Let’s learn about solar energy and battery storage, let’s dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let’s learn and let’s discuss. We aren’t doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let’s get to work.

33m | Apr 13, 2022 - Could Soil Solve Climate Change? with Judy Fitzpatrick From Microbiometer
Though we are always surrounded by soils and billions of microorganisms, we don’t really pay attention to the micro environment around us. Microbobiometer is changing that. Through their use of soil analytical products, Microbiometer is trying to increase our understanding of soil health, how we can optimize the earth itself to grow better produce and mitigate climate change, and how important the microorganisms found in our soil are. Could soil be the solution to pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere? There’s only one way to find out. More resources below.

28m | Mar 23, 2022 - An Incentive To Change - Carbon Capture and Carbon Markets with Gael Gobaille-Shaw From Mission Zero Technologies
The establishment of functioning carbon markets, and carbon trading systems could provide the incentive we need to push large countries and companies to work hard at mitigating emissions. The markets that we have now aren’t yet stable enough or widespread enough for them to be effective at providing that incentive. On today’s episode with Gael from Mission Zero Tech, we are taking a look at the future of carbon capture and how that will interact with the larger energy and consumer markets that we have well established today.

44m | Mar 16, 2022 - Hydrogen And E-fuels, The Bigger Picture with Eduardo Pereira from Clearenergy
We have talked about hydrogen before on this show. We have gone over how we can make hydrogen and how we can convert hydrogen to and from energy pretty easily. What we haven’t discussed is what specific application hydrogen could be useful for; shipping, energy storage, and simulating fossil fuels. Today, Eduardo Pereira from Clearenergy will lay out the future that he sees for hydrogen, and how it can be coupled with carbon capture to create synthetic fuels capable of replacing the fossil fuels we use today. Check out the resources below for more information on Clearenergy.

37m | Mar 9, 2022 - Climate Action Is Now Or Never, Here's Why...
What will happen if we can’t meet the maximum of 1.5 degree target set by the IPCC? What will happen if it warms up by 2, 3, or 5 degrees? Where are these numbers even coming from?! Well first of all they’re coming from people who have studied climate their entire lives so we can be fairly sure that they are at least close to the mark. Second of all, a lot of these estimations and goals come from tipping points, the topic of today’s episode. Tipping points can be thought of as the point of no return, there are multiple planetary systems that are on the edge of their tipping points, and now we have to work hard to mitigate our emissions so that we don’t push our planet over the brink. Lots of resources below for further reading and involvement!

20m | Mar 4, 2022 - Regenerative Agriculture with Andre de Rosa From Lamplighter Energy
Agriculture is one of the highest emitting sectors of our world. There are many aspects of agriculture that emit dangerous greenhouse gases, meat production costs tons of water and emits billions of tons of CO2 and methane every year. Fertilizers that are used to grow crops for food and to feed animals generate other greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide which can be hundreds of times worse for the climate than carbon dioxide. Agriculture also provides one of the most opportunity-rich fields to implement new technologies, connective technology, and regenerative practices based on indigenous methods to greatly reduce emissions worldwide. Thank you to Andre and Lamplighter for featuring on this long-awaited episode on new-age agriculture. More information found below.

54m | Mar 2, 2022 - Mitigating Methane Emissions with Olya Irzak From Frost Methane
We haven’t really had the chance to focus our attention on a company that is dedicated to reducing greenhouse gas emissions as the sole driver of their business model, aside from Blue X Energy. Frost Methane’s CEO and my guest today Olya Irzak is here to tell me about how carbon markets and cap and trade systems work, along with their technology to mitigate methane emissions. These systems are fascinating because they could be the solution to the economic challenge of climate mitigation, if and only if it is used correctly and carefully monitored. Read on for more info.

If you are someone who cares about climate change but you’re tired of hearing about how the world is going to explode in a few short years if we don’t do something soon (What does that even mean?), then this podcast is for you. We stay away from divisive politics and meaningless numbers with no context, and instead, I interview climate action leaders implementing revolutionary ideas that are helping to reduce our impact on the world around us. Listen to this podcast to learn, be inspired, and find new ideas to look into even more. If you are interested in getting involved, please use any of the contacts or social media listed below, and look into the links below for actionable things you can do right now.
Who am I?
My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I’ve noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can do for climate change is talk about it.” so let’s talk about it. Let’s learn about solar energy and battery storage, let’s dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let’s learn and let’s discuss. We aren’t doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let’s get to work.

31m | Feb 16, 2022 - Geothermal Energy - 24/7 Renewable Power with Matt Udenberg from Altarock
Not all of the natural power of the world can be found above ground. There is actually an incalcuble wealth of energy that’s beneath our feet everyday, almost everywhere you go. Geothermal energy, like solar and wind, is a completely renewable resource, and can provide energy for years without emitting any fossil fuels. Unlike solar and wind, there is no intermittency, there is no need for batteries, or energy storage because geothermal energy flows constantly. Geothermal is one of the best options we have to provide consistent output of renewable energy. My guest today is Matt Udenberg from Altarock energy and we are going to delve into the world of the power underneath our feet.

17m | Feb 4, 2022 - Biology Based Water Treatment with Peter Jensen From Aquaporin
One of the biggest and most impactful issues of our time is water shortages. Across the world, developing countries especially, have struggled with water scarcity for years. Many nations have been unable to provide clean, drinkable water to their citizens, never mind enough water to irrigate farmland or start producing local products to feed the economy. Peter Jensen and Aquaporin are working on a nature-based solution to the current expensive and carbon-intensive process of water purification.

35m | Feb 2, 2022 - Sustainable Ride-sharing In Sub Saharan Africa with Adetayo From Max.ng
With transportation consisting of a sizable chunk of global carbon emissions, it is abundantly clear that we must decarbonize our transportation systems in order to mitigate climate change. One of the most effective ways that we can do that is ensuring that everyone, especially those with less financial stability in developing countries, has access to safe, reliable, and low emissions transportation. That’s what Max.ng is working on, by developing a ride-sharing platform in Subsaharan Africa with the express goal of making low-zero emissions ridesharing available to everyone.

40m | Jan 19, 2022 - Specificity And Battery Technology with Jack Pouchet From Natron Energy
Batteries batteries batteries! At this show, we can never get enough of them. Each battery has its own niche though and Natron Energy has certainly found its niche. In my interview with Jack Pouchet, we talk about the potential of Natron’s batteries to have a pivotal role in supporting essential energy services such as hospitals and data centers. Their batteries are unique and proprietary and use chemical components which have not been used in commercial battery production before. Natron’s new batteries are also making an effort to be sustainable and source common natural resources instead of the rare earth minerals used in lithium-ion batteries.

21m | Jan 7, 2022 - The Largest Emitting Man-made Product Just Got Sustainable
Concrete production emits almost 3% of the global carbon emissions every year. That is only one portion of the total industrial emissions including steel, aluminum, and clothing. Solutions to these fields are essential to mitigate climate change. The majority of emissions from concrete production don’t even come from burning fossil fuels, but the method of creating the concrete itself. That’s what Cody Finke and his startup Brimstone Energy are working to fix. They are pioneering a new process to create concrete that lowers the production emissions significantly. Check out the resources below to learn more.

Innovating a Bright Future is the podcast that brings together technology and climate action in an engaging interview format that showcases some of the most interesting initiatives taking place across the globe. If you are someone who cares about climate change but you’re tired of hearing about how the world is going to explode in a few short years if we don’t do something soon (What does that even mean?), then this podcast is for you. We stay away from divisive politics and meaningless numbers with no context, and instead I interview climate action leaders implementing revolutionary ideas that are helping to reduce our impact on the world around us. Listen to this podcast to learn, be inspired, and find new ideas to look into even more. If you are interested in getting involved, please use any of the contacts or social media listed below, and look into the links below as well for actionable things you can do right now.
Who am I?
My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I’ve noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can for climate change is talk about it.” so let’s talk about it. Let’s learn about solar energy and battery storage, let’s dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let’s learn and let’s discuss. We aren’t doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let’s get to work.

7m | Sep 1, 2021 - The Key To Renewable Electricity - Energy Storage with Carlo Brovero From StorEn Technologies
The season finale of S1!! This episode is probably my favorite of the season, where we’re talking all about batteries. With energy storage being such a pivotal issue and batteries being one of the most promising candidates for solving that issue, the development of batteries designed to handle grid scale applications is essential. That’s exactly what StorEn Technologies is working on. This episode features Carlo Brovero, the founder and CEO of StorEn, and he tells me all about his Vanadium flow battery, a new method of battery storage that eliminates the worst issues plaguing lithium ion batteries. What an episode to end on, I hope you’ll be back next season! Check out the website below to connect with Carlo.
