🌍 Are we moving fast enough in the energy transition? In this episode of Climate Confident, I sit down with Jarand Rystad, CEO of Rystad Energy, to break down the realities of the global shift to renewables.
We tackle the big questions:
🔹 Is solar, wind, and battery storage outpacing fossil fuels?
🔹 Why is China leading in renewables while still expanding coal?
🔹 Can we hit the 1.5°C climate target – or are we falling short?
🔹 Where do hydrogen and carbon capture actually fit in the energy mix?
🔹 What’s the role of AI and data analytics in reshaping energy markets?
🔹 How can policy and regulation accelerate (or hinder) progress?
With over 800 experts analysing every aspect of the global energy system, Rystad Energy offers data-driven insights into what’s happening behind the headlines.
💡 This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in climate action, clean energy, and the economics of the energy transition. Whether you're a policymaker, investor, or just someone who cares about a sustainable future, this conversation is packed with valuable takeaways.
