About this listen

A new podcast series from Equinor, ‘Destination Zero: Realising a Low-Carbon Future’ will explore what the UK needs to do to achieve net zero by 2050, and the projects currently in development in the North East of England that will help deliver this goal. As well as covering specific projects led by Equinor, including Zero Carbon Humber and H2H Saltend, the series brings together experts, politicians and senior business leaders to discuss the new, low carbon technology that will play a vital role in accelerating the energy transition. From Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), to blue and green hydrogen, experts will demystify the technologies that will soon make up a vital part of the UK’s energy landscape.

Hosted by James Murray, Business Green Editor, this new series is a must-listen for anyone interested in the changing energy landscape in the UK and, especially, the crucial role that areas like the North East of England will play in delivering a successful transition.

    In this final episode of the series, James looks back on what we’ve heard over the previous five episodes and assesses the potential to move forward towards net zero. We hear directly from the Government’s advisory body, the UK’s Climate Change Committee (CCC), about what the UK needs to do to deliver on its ambitious climate goals. James also hosts a roundtable discussion with those involved in developing the policy, regulatory environment and transition business models to make net zero by 2050 a reality.

    James Murray is joined by Chris Stark from CCC, Mercedes Maroto-Valer from Industrial Decarbonisation Research Innovation Centre, Will Lochhead from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and Will Joyce from UKRI.

    From grey to blue to green, there seems to be a rainbow of colours of the world’s most abundant element that can seem confusing. In this episode, host James Murray seeks to demystify the role that hydrogen can play in decarbonising activities across multiple sectors and around the world. James speaks to experts at the forefront of hydrogen technology, as well as those involved in developing the research and right policy to help ensure the UK realises the full potential of hydrogen.

    Host James Murray is joined by Dan Sadler and Henrik Andersen from Equinor, Dr Jamie Speirs from Imperial College London and Oonagh O’Grady from SSE Thermal.
