Carbon Clarity ·

2025/10/29

We talk about sustainability strategies all day long... but why do so few of them actually work on the ground? I sat down with Mark Hingston from Cushman & Wakefield to explore one of the industry's biggest challenges: the gap between what we say we'll do and what actually happens in asset management. We dive into: ✓ Why corporate sustainability plans fail at the operational level ✓ The criticality of data driving institutional investment decisions ✓ How embodied carbon is resha...

Following a busy summer and various happenings at the Hut22 HQ, I'm flying solo in this episode of Carbon Clarity! Instead of a guest, I'm bringing you three book recommendations, all of which made me think differently about climate change. If you want to know which books to read to make you think differently too, check out the episode!

Carbon Clarity ·

2025/08/26

In one possible transition to low carbon heat we might spend millions on individual heat pumps for every home and building... but what if there's a smarter way to heat entire areas of our towns and cities? In this episode, I'm talking to Andrew Cripps from Vital Energy about heat networks - the technology that's been quietly heating more of our cities than you might realise for decades, and could be the key to decarbonising homes and other buildings. In this fascinating conversation, we explo...

Carbon Clarity ·

2025/07/30

We spend weeks perfecting tender documents for projects we might not even win, but how much time do we spend learning from the buildings we actually build? Spoiler alert: almost none. In this wide-ranging conversation, I discuss with Joe-Jack Williams from Bywater how the construction industry has developed a serious case of selective blindness when it comes to post-occupancy evaluation – and why it's such a missed opportunity. But that's just one of the things we talk about! Alongside ...

#14 Lock it in. Why carbon storage matters.

Carbon Clarity ·

2025/06/25

We all know we need to cut carbon emissions... but what about the carbon that's already out there? I recently sat down with Garrett Boudinot, founder of Vy-Carb, and he shared a really powerful perspective. He says it's not just about fixing the leaky tap – it's also about mopping up all the water that's already spilled! Mitigation, reducing our emissions, is absolutely non-negotiable, but if we're serious about hitting our climate targets, we have to think about actively removing and storing...

#13 The Critical Chain: Minerals, Geopolitics, and...

Carbon Clarity ·

2025/05/28

What do electric vehicles, wind turbines, smartphones, and satellites all have in common? They rely on a complex, often invisible web of elements – rare earths and critical minerals – pulled from the ground, refined across borders, and essential to our transition to a net-zero carbon future. But here’s the catch – the term “critical” isn’t as clear-cut as it sounds. It depends on who you ask, where you’re standing, and what you need. In this episode, we dig deep into the world of critical min...

#11 AI's Energy Use: Can Data Centres Keep Up?

Carbon Clarity ·

2025/03/26

The rise of Artificial Intelligence is changing our world, but at what cost? AI searches consume significantly more energy than standard online queries, and the data centres powering this revolution are transforming into the heavy industry of our age. But how do these energy-hungry giants impact our planet and communities? In this episode, we talk to Anna Dowson, Senior Director of Sustainability at Greenscale, to pull back the curtain on data centres. We explore their critical role in our di...
