Consumer choice is guided by transparency, from fairtrade to free range. This transparency is currently missing in the energy sector. Consumers do not know what source is in their energy, yet energy is by far the largest contributor of CO2 emissions.

When "guarantees of origin contracts" promise 100% renewable energy, what is the businesses case for finding out the real-time data of your energy expenditure? We talk to Gustaf Svensson to understand why transparency matters for businesses and why more and more companies are demanding services like Renbloc to help understand where their energy is really coming from.

We are predicted to experience a global shortage of 60 million tonnes of protein a year by 2030. The world population is predicted to reach 10 billion people by 2060. How do we meet this protein gap without depleting our natural resources?

We talk to Mana Biosystem's founder and CEO Andrea Jagodic to understand the causes behind this broken food system and learn how agtech innovations involving the black soldier fly reduce costs for farmers and provide a sustainable source of protein as animal feed.

Mana is a London & Kenya based Agritech start-up and ethical corporation on a mission to lead an insect based revolution in Africa. They hope to turn agricultural waste into a high value animal feed product for African fish and poultry farmers.

Founded in 2020, their goal is to build a pan African insect farming company that can provide thousands of valuable jobs, inspire future insect entrepreneurs, help with climate change mitigation and help fix the broken food system.

As we drive towards a net-zero economy, policymakers and businesses are shifting Electric Vehicles from niche to the mainstream. With Uber committing to use 100% EV’s by 2025 and the UK government banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, Niall Riddell talks us through the electric vehicle utopia, providing a comprehensive account of the risks and opportunities we will face on the way there.
