In this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I sit down with Faustine Delasalle, CEO of the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP), to explore one of the thorniest challenges in climate action: how to decarbonise heavy industry and transport - and why finance, not technology, might be the biggest roadblock.
We dig into the practicalities of scaling up green industrial projects like green steel, ammonia, and sustainable aviation fuel, and the critical need to make these initiatives bankable. Faustine explains the role of the "green premium" (or dirty discount), the importance of strong demand signals, and why policy mandates must work alongside subsidies to unlock over $1 trillion in investment.
We also cover:
✅ Why green ammonia could be the first domino in the clean hydrogen revolution
✅ How emerging economies are surprising us with bold climate moves
✅ What governments and the private sector must do together to scale solutions
✅ And why the next 18 months could make or break our 2030 climate goals
If you're involved in climate finance, policy, energy, or industrial sustainability, this one’s packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
