Leading the Carbon-Negative Revolution

We are a proven partner for taking renewable energy projects from green field to operational management.

Climate change is the single greatest challenge facing our generation. We believe the electrification of the planet with renewable energy, including solutions like biochar for carbon sequestration, is a key part of the solution. From wind, solar, and hydropower, to carbon capture technologies, we are shaping a greener, more sustainable future.

With expertise in both established and emerging technologies, we deliver dependable solutions that create value for investors, empower communities, and protect the environment

Transformational lessons from the pandemic

Has business finally ‘unfrozen’ on climate? Freeze // unfreeze // refreeze // slush: where along Professor Gratton’s pandemic disruption curve are we, when it comes to the sustainability revolution? Happy anniversary. As I write this (from home, naturally), it is three years since the start of the first COVID lockdown in the UK. A […]

Human rights: the next ESG investment frontier?

Expanding the scope of ESG will be good for people, good for the climate and good for the industry itself – if we can more fully rise to the challenge this time. It’s remarkable, when you think of it, how many humans are dedicating their life’s work to completely reshaping the world around a single […]

May a hundred ‘small experiments’ bloom

Climate change today is a failure of negotiation. The re-frame we need might be less high-stakes – and more every day – than you might think. It was only when Matthew McConaughey, shirtless, battered, and bleeding was wrestling a Malian village strongman in the Dogon Bandiagara that I think I finally understood this recent episode […]

Why I’m swearing off engaging with climate denial

Arguing with deniers doesn’t work; let’s focus on encouraging action amongst our allies instead Climate denial is as old as our understanding of climate change itself. I’m sure that even Theophrastus (fourth century BCE Greece) or Shen Kuo (Song dynasty China) had their scientific observations met with a fair share of shrugs, frowns, and outright […]

Stuck in the twilight zone: why today’s climate start-ups have an exit problem

What happens to a regenerative start-up ecosystem when it is missing aligned buyers? The latest episode of Conversations on Climate, with Godefroy Harito and Jules Buker, set a personal record that I don’t think we’ll surpass for quite some time: our youngest guests so far. At just 26, these two co-founders of treeapp (along with […]

Innovation and profit in the climate age: so you think you’re Jimmy Hendrix?

Raise your hand if you’re ambidextrous. Let me try that again – raise your other hand if you’re ambidextrous! I don’t know many genuinely ambidextrous people. If you’ve ever tried that internet challenge where you brush your teeth with your other hand for a month, you know it’s not easy. At least at first, you’re […]

Burning out and burning up: lessons in sustainable management from Henry Ford’s mad utopia

The way many businesses treat their workers echoes the way we trash the planet. Time to rethink the outdated management approach common to both. Deep in the Amazon rainforest, nearly 200 miles south of the Brazilian city of Santarem, lies abandoned one of the strangest chapters in the history of the American dream. Visitors to […]

Hydrogen – a cool gas or just a lot of hot air?

Ok, so I’m not an engineer or a chemist but I know plenty of both who are very excited about Hydrogen, however channeling my inner economist I’m not sure the so called ‘H2 Revolution’ will come close to living up to all the hype. Inefficient, expensive to compress and move, H2’s relatively low energy density […]

The wobbly stool of ESG: what does governance have to do with climate change anyway?

Environmental, Social, and Governance issues are interconnected – but are still not treated equally. That needs to change. As 2022 comes to a close, we begin to see headlines announcing the ‘word of the year’. I must confess that ‘splooting’ is new to me – clearly, I’ve been lying face-down on the floor wrong all […]

COP 27 in review – the last gasps of a dying process?

Long-awaited success on loss-and-damage cannot distract us from the reality of a system which is no longer fit for purpose Another year, another COP. As the banners come down, the private jets take off for home, and the final headlines fade from the front pages, what are we to make of COP 27? This year, […]

The selfish case for climate reparations

This long-neglected pillar of environmental justice will top the agenda at COP27. The Global North must get real on Loss and Damage – for our own sake. With COP27 just a month away, the cyclical momentum of climate reporting is back in gear. Sadly, if predictably, the news in 2022 is not good. The UN […]

How to blow your mind: Reflections from the first ten episodes of the Conversations on Climate Podcast

Wow – our first ten episodes finished already! In the five months since we began this adventure, Conversations on Climate has been, without doubt, a wonderful experience. I have had the pleasure – and honour – to host discussions with some fantastic individuals, all at the top of their respective fields. Every one has been […]
