Comments Off on Season 1: Episode 8 – In conversation with Julio Dal Poz
How Big Oil is really facing the energy transition
In this video, Chris Caldwell CEO of United Renewables Ltd and host of the conversations on Climate podcast talks with industry veteran Julio Dal Poz and we hear his fascinating account of the view from within the oil industry.
Conversation with Julio Dal Poz takes us through the history of oil giant Equinor’s engagement with climate change and gives us his frank views on watershed moments, greenwashing, the energy trilemma, and what net zero really means.
Brazilian-born Julio Dal Poz started his career in deepwater oil drilling as an engineer.

Paul is Managing director and founder of GR-IQ, a government relations consultancy and he is also former VP of government relations at SHELL as well as Country Chair of the LBS Alumni Energy Club.
In this video, Conversation with Paul Beijer talks to Paul about the importance of positive interactions with government bodies when dealing with strategies for renewable energy and climate change. Paul is Managing director and founder of GR-IQ, a government relations consultancy and he is also former VP of government relations at SHELL as well as Country Chair of the LBS Alumni Energy Club.
“… if there’s one topic they find really challenging to make decisions on and constantly have discussions about, it’s the metrics of good government relations…”
“Of course, we are now facing a pretty existential crisis, but also a pretty unique opportunity. And I’m sure we’re going to talk more about what that looks like. But that’s the backdrop that politicians also need to convince their populations that change is needed because it’s going to be painful and costly.”

Comments Off on Season 1: Episode 4 – In conversation with Kritika Kumar
Smart Building Technologies and Energy Efficiency
In this video, Chris Caldwell talks to Conversation with Kritika Kumar , a smart energy specialist, digital transformation expert, and the London Business School Alumni Energy Club Co-President. They discuss how the implementation of smart technology can transform the efficiency of a building’s energy use, creating both cost savings and a reduction of its carbon footprint.
Based in Hong Kong, Kritika explains how she is involved with the rollout of new technologies and the impact this is having in a very energy-intensive environment. There is a huge amount packed into this half-hour conversation.
It was fascinating to hear Kritika’s perspective as someone taking the climate fight to an East Asian megacity, and there will be something new for each and every listener:
– Why Hong Kong is so far behind in the race to net-zero
– The challenges of decarbonising an island of 7.5m people – and finding somewhere to charge your electric car
– Why government targets are necessary, but not sufficient, in driving change
– The role of decarbonising the built environment in a city-state (and why a subtropical climate doesn’t help)
“Different types of industries now are looking into how can they reduce their own carbon dioxide emissions. I recently interacted with an auction house that was looking into a sustainability policy…last year, they looked into all their emissions coming from shipping, logistics, buildings …shipping artwork from all over the world. And that was a major factor of their emissions. You know, you wouldn’t see an auction house looking into their carbon dioxide emissions ten years ago, but it’s happening now…”
“…and then on the consulting side, all these companies that are wanting to have a decarbonisation strategy: they don’t know how. They need experts in sustainability, in carbon reduction, in ESG. And there’s a huge opportunity there, not only in terms of guiding or setting that strategy but on the implementation as well.”
“I would say the kind of work I am doing is more on this implementation side where I’m helping reduce the carbon dioxide emission in buildings by helping reduce the energy consumption in buildings through technology; installing hardware; software solutions that can help optimise buildings…”
Learn how Smart Building Technologies and Energy Efficiency can improve your business’s carbon footprint.
Throughout season 1, we talk about how the scope of the challenge before us is beyond that of any one individual or any one solution. We talk to thinkers, researchers, makers, and business leaders. They discuss a diversity of ideas and solutions to global climate and environmental issues and why they matter.

This conversation will uncover the six elements of decision making – six elements that we can all understand and hopefully apply in our own everyday lives as well as in business. “…what struck me is that people talked about the importance of good judgment in making difficult choices and so I became very intrigued by this…
“Would you know that somebody has good judgment when they make a difficult choice, a difficult decision? You know what constitutes good judgment?… how do you know other people have got it if you’re going to hire them?…”
“…how do you bring everything together of the individual, the situation, the variables involved in a complex choice, what guidance can one give? And I found there was almost nothing written on this. And so intrigued by that, I said, all right, it’s a voyage of discovery, and here I go…”
“…and my aim, therefore, is to try, in terms of the phrase, stack the cards in one’s favour of making a choice …”

Comments Off on Season 1: Episode 2 – In conversation with Ramez Nasser
In this video, Chris Caldwell CEO of United Renewables Ltd talks to RAMEZ NASSER, Lawyer and Board Member at Energisme. Conversation with Ramez Nasser
They discuss topics including how the world will generate over 2500 zettabytes of data by 2035, requiring new technologies to be able to make use of that data, especially in the energy space, which is one of the areas that accumulates the most amount of data.
In this episode, Conversation with Ramez Nasser explains how the vast amount of data we produce on energy usage can help us reshape our cities, habits, and policy on the Conversations on Climate podcast. The volume of data available will be essential to track and optimise energy performance from buildings and businesses, manage power usage in cities (for example by turning off lights in unused streets), and guiding new technology development.
