Decarbonisation,Business Decarbonisation,Energy Transition,SME,Small business,Enterprise,Renewable Energy ,Solar,Cleaner Energy,EV,Carbon offsetting Presented by AGL Net Zero is a growing ambition for many businesses. But the path to reach there can feel somewhat daunting and anything but simple. Join us as we delve into the process of transitioning to renewable energy and emissions reduction from the very beginning. Exploring the ins and outs of making the switch with industry experts and businesses who are already on their way. 

 

In this six-part series about business decarbonisation, we unpack some of the ways you can begin to transition to renewable energy and lower your carbon footprint. We begin with how decarbonisation can benefit your business and where to start your decarbonisation journey before digging into renewable energy solutions like solar and battery storage. We also explore switching to electric vehicles and fleets before finally digging into carbon offsets and their role in reaching net zero. 

 

Our host Taylor Hawkins explores a path forward through conversations with a range of guests. From industry advisors in the decarbonisation space and experts on renewable energy to the business leaders who are already on their decarbonisation journey. Join us as we explore how to not just survive but thrive through the transition. 

 

This is produced in Australia and is relevant to the Australian energy market.

Do we really need it to achieve net zero? We sit down with Kurt Winter from the Carbon Market Institute to discuss offsetting – the terminology that surrounds this space and, of course, its potential role in the path to net zero. We unpack the changing landscape of carbon credits, how you can stay on top of it all as a business and chart a path that will actually make a difference.

But what does driving electric look like in this country? In this episode, we look at the current state of charging and when it’s worth it for businesses to switch to an EV fleet for their decarbonisation. We’ll be asking Head of E-Mobility at AGL, Mabelle Reyes to unpack the options available for those looking to switch, digging into the benefits and considerations for electric vehicles and tips on how to make the transition as easy and painless as possible. Plus, a special appearance by BP Pulse to shed some light on EV adoption around the world and the future of charging here in Australia.

Now what? This episode explores the next frontier of renewable energy: batteries, virtual power plants and microgrids. Battery storage is one of the best ways to get the most out of solar, whether you're storing it for your own use later or offering it up to the grid to be used by others. We talk with General Manager Electrification & Innovation at AGL, Jane Butler, about virtual power plants and stand-alone grids: how they work, their role in energy efficiency, when they’re right for your business, and what they could save you in the long run. Plus, a bonus segment with CEO James Diliberto from the engineering group AZZO on some systems they’ve installed and the results.
