Energy Insiders - a RenewEconomy Podcast

Tom Geiser from Good Heat on the technologies to provide carbon-free industrial heat. Plus: LNP's diesel delusions, One Nation's burning effigies, and the biggest CIS wind project to reach FiD.

Sabiene Heindl from The Energy Charter on the need for strong regional leaders for transition to renewables. Plus: The frack up over data centres, and other news.

Karl Braganza, head of research at the BoM, explains El Niño and what it means for Australia. Plus: Peter Hannam joins us to discuss New England, new projects, the future of transmission lines and news of the week.

Much of Australia's energy transition debate has focused on electricity – renewables, transmission, batteries and the grid. But there's another part of the transition that's arguably just as important, and one that receives far less attention: the future of liquid fuels.

In this episode, Gilbert + Tobin partners Jamie Guthrie and Ilona Millar are joined by Céline Parle, Sustainable Aviation Fuel Investments, Airbus and Mac Irvine, Chief Financial Officer, Jet Zero Australia, with Giles Parkinson, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Renew Economy, moderating the discussion.

They explore the role sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) could play in Australia’s energy transition – from decarbonising aviation and strengthening fuel security to creating a new domestic industry. The discussion considers what it will take to get Australian SAF projects off the ground, including investment, policy support and the demand certainty needed to make projects commercially viable.

CEFC boss Ian Learmonth explains why big wind projects may finally get delivered this year. Plus: Tomago aims for 100 pct renewables, and the big utility profits.
