Helping Utilities Catch Wildfires Before They Spark with CRWN.ai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CRWN.ai helps utilities prevent wildfires sparked by failing grid infrastructure. These fires are rare, but they're catastrophic. In 2018, a single failure on PG&E's grid sparked California's deadliest wildfire, killed 85 people, and pushed the utility into bankruptcy. The fire made wildfire liability a board-level risk for utilities everywhere. And it keeps getting harder: transmission lines are aging, wildfire seasons are getting more intense, and rising electricity demand means even more infr
Fixing Canada's Broken Lab-to-Market Pipeline with Dr. Kyle Briggs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Canada is home to world class researchers and institutions. But that potential doesn’t always translate into commercial impact. Not because the technology fails, but because the lab-to-market handoff breaks down. For researchers building climate solutions — battery chemistry, carbon removal, advanced materials — it means negotiating licensing terms with your university, securing early capital, and picking up a whole set of business skills academics rarely get exposed to. Dr. Kyle Briggs has seen
Voluntary to Mandatory: Building ESG's Trust Infrastructure with Charles Assaf, Novisto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The story in corporate sustainability right now is all about retreat: voluntary pledges walked back, advocacy groups shutting down, banks dropping emissions targets. But underneath that noise, mandatory disclosure rules in the EU and around the world are creating obligations no company can undo with a press release. That means ESG data needs to be as rigorous and auditable as financial reporting, and large companies are taking it seriously - even if they aren’t talking about it as loudly. We sat
Turning Waste Heat into Energy Abundance with Local Energy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Up to 50% of industrial heat is wasted. For decades, cheap electricity meant nobody bothered capturing it. That's changing as industry looks for more power, better efficiency, and lower emissions. Local energy networks turn that waste into value, letting neighbouring facilities trade surplus heat instead of losing it. The obstacle isn't proving it works - it's getting industrial neighbours to coordinate. Léo Lamy-Laliberté and Daniel Bastien are co-founders of Local Energy (www.localenergy.ai),
An Insider's Look at Industrial Decarbonization with Dennis Wilson, Saint-Gobain North America (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Canada's built environment accounts for roughly 40% of national emissions - and building materials, one of the least-discussed corners of climate tech, are where a lot of that carbon actually lives. In this episode, we look at the buyer side of the equation: how large, industrial customers that are producing building materials today approach low-carbon innovation. Dennis Wilson is VP of ESG and Managing Director of Circular Economy Solutions at Saint-Gobain North America , one of the world's old
