Abating the Commercial Transportation Sector | SIM-PAC Live | Episode 13

We interview Heather Bone, ESG Director at Team Global Express. Team Global Express, previously known as Toll Global Express, is an Australian-owned freight and transport logistics business primarily operating across Australia and New Zealand. They operate over 7000 trucks, 41 planes, 2 ships, and 150 properties. The commercial transportation sector is one of the hardest to abate sectors and it effects all of us. How we move our goods around without adding to their carbon footprint is one of the big yet unanswered questions about the energy transition. So, it’s a real pleasure to have Heather Bone on our show today to give us some insight into where we think this whole thing is heading.

We interview Lynelle Johnson MD of E Class Outboards. EClass Outboards is an Australian manufacturer and a pioneer in the electrification of marine outboard motors. The case for electrification of outboard motors is compelling and it’s interesting that development to date has been left to entrepreneurs like EClass Outboards rather than being led by the large incumbent manufacturers…..where have we heard this before?

Behind-the-meter solar-sharing for multi-dwelling buildings | SIM-PAC Live | Episode 10

We interview Kristy Battista, CTO Global & GM Australia, of Allume Energy, an Australian company that’s developed the world's first behind-the-meter solar-sharing technology, for multi-tenanted buildings. We open our conversation by discussing the attraction and retention of talent in the renewable energy world, before moving on to Allume Energy’s Solshare technology. Solshare solves the problem of how tenants of industrial parks and business centres can decarbonise and be part of the energy transition, via collectively installing and sharing the benefits of solar energy, when they may not even own the roof space above them.

Wave Energy Generation - is it time? | SIM-PAC Live | Episode 9

The first Wave Energy generators have been with us for over 40 years, however the wave energy industry today is almost at a standstill. Last year 10,000 times more wind generation capacity was installed than wave generation capacity. This doesn’t change the fact that wave motion energy is extremely constant and almost limitless, and we need it now more than ever. We talk to a wave motion engineer and pioneer and ask him the hard question, “why so little progress”. We also discuss if wave energy’s time is yet to come.

"The more you know about recycling the less you sleep at night" Timothy Brake | SIM-PAC Live | Ep 8

Geoff Matthews discusses waste and recycling with Timothy Brake, a chemical engineer and waste management expert, and questions him on calling our current recycling and circular economy efforts "a fraud". Like climate scientists in the 1990’s, who rang early alarm bells, his opinions are well worth paying attention to.
