We headed over the Altantic and across a country for this episode where Tomas talked to Maxime Charron, Founder and President of LeadingAhead Energy – a leading consultancy and supplier in the EV infrastructure space.  LeadingAhead operate across Canada and are already veterans in the field – if there is such a thing in e-mobility.  Listen to the podcast to hear Maxime’s thoughts on the transition in North America and what he anticipates in the future.

In this episode, Tomas talks to Derek Reilly about Electric Vehicle adoption in Ireland and the support individuals and fleets need to transition away from combustion engines in a controlled and cost efficient manner.  

Something out of the ordinary for this episode. Returning from Green.TV's Decarbonisation Summit in Manchester, Tomas and Jane had to charge their vehicle at public charging stations. Neither had done so in the UK before, so maybe a bit of preparation and planning was needed... Big thanks to Audi and Ionity. Geniepoint and Premier Inn get a mention too!

In this episode, Jane talks to Lee Hodder, Director of Strategy and Chief Sustainability Officer of Galp Energia - Portugal's premier energy supplier. Lee talks about the global energy transition, Galp's role in achieving net zero by 2050 without creating new problems and his own background and beliefs. 

In this episode, Tomas talks to Jenny Gladman and the perfectly named Ben Sparks of brightsmith - elite recruiters in cleantech and sustainability.  They talk about passion and purpose, collaboration and what gets them out of bed on a Monday morning in amongst a general conversation about finding purpose in your career.

In this episode, Jane talks to Jill Wagner - Chief Forestry Officer of Terraformation - about the lack of bio-diversity in man-made forests, seed banks, and the problems with current carbon off-setting practices.

Jill's argument is clear.  Natural carbon sequestering is preferred over man-made methods, and we need to enable bio-diverse forestry growth through conscious effort, technology, and awareness.
