06/05/24 • 35 min
In this special episode of the Climate Confident Podcast sponsored by Siemens, I sit down with Constantin Ginet, Global Head of Energy Performance Services at Siemens, to explore the intricacies of industrial decarbonisation. We discuss the significant challenges industries face, from the urgency of reducing emissions to the complexities of scope one, two, and three emissions.
Constantin shares Siemens’ innovative approach, emphasising the role of digitalisation and the use of digital energy twins in creating precise energy models. We delve into the importance of scalable solutions, the need for comprehensive data transparency, and the critical role of smart electrification and renewable integration.
We also touch on how sectors like automotive and food and beverage are leading the way in decarbonisation efforts, and the necessity of looking at sustainability holistically. For those just starting their sustainability journey, Constantin offers valuable advice on setting clear goals, embracing digital solutions, and considering financing models.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of industrial sustainability and the practical steps we can take to achieve a greener future. Tune in for a deep dive into the strategies that are shaping a more sustainable world.

Unlocking Climate Solutions: The Role of Women and Nature's Rights
Welcome to this episode of the Climate Confident Podcast. I'm Tom Raftery, and today I'm joined by Osprey Orielle Lake, founder and executive director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN). Osprey shares her journey from early environmental activism in California's Redwood forests to leading WECAN, highlighting the crucial role of women in climate solutions.
We delve into the significant impact of women's political empowerment on reducing carbon emissions and explore the Rights of Nature movement, which seeks to recognise ecosystems as legal entities with rights. Osprey also discusses the practical work of WECAN, such as reforestation projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which have successfully restored vast areas of degraded land and provided sustainable resources for local communities.
Another key topic we discussed is the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, an initiative aimed at curbing fossil fuel production alongside existing climate agreements. Osprey underscores the urgency of transitioning to renewable energy and the need for stronger governmental action against fossil fuel interests.
Tune in to hear about the intersection of gender equality, environmental justice, and innovative strategies for combating the climate crisis. Don't forget to visit WECAN International's website for more information on their impactful projects and initiatives.

Tucker Perkins on Renewable Propane and a Sustainable Energy Mix
Welcome to another episode of the Climate Confident Podcast! I'm Tom Raftery, and today, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tucker Perkins, the CEO of the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC). In our conversation, Tucker delved into the role of propane and renewable propane in the journey towards a cleaner climate.
We explored the extensive safety and training measures PERC implements to ensure safe propane usage across various sectors. Tucker highlighted the innovation in more efficient, lower-emission propane appliances and discussed the environmental potential of renewable propane, derived from waste sources like fats, oils, and greases.
A key takeaway from our discussion was the significant reduction in emissions achieved by replacing diesel with propane, particularly in heavy-duty transportation. Tucker also shared insights on the emerging hybrid systems that combine electric powertrains with propane engines, promising further reductions in greenhouse gases.
Additionally, we touched upon the broader clean energy landscape, recognising the importance of a diverse mix of fuels to meet global energy demands sustainably. Tucker's perspectives offer a compelling argument for considering propane as part of our future clean energy solutions.
