Stories of Decarbonization

Author: Anthony Cheng

The challenge of decarbonization is critical in the fight against climate change. Many technical projects have been developed in the lab to help solve these issues, but many fail to make a difference as aspiring world-changers move from the ivory tower of academia to the gritty economics of real markets. Through a series of interview-style podcasts and long-form radio pieces, I aim to bring to light both human and technical elements that go into the cleantech innovators journey, weaving a story of progress and change in the industrial sector.
