đ§ New Podcast Episode: Infrastructure at the Heart â Why the Energy Transition Is a Delivery and Business Model Challenge
We often hear that clean technologies like solar, wind, and batteries are the key to decarbonisation. But the real challenge isnât about technological breakthroughs. Itâs about delivery, getting projects permitted, financed, built, and connected to systems that werenât designed for this kind of transformation.
In this episode of The Curious Learners, I explore why infrastructure, not innovation, is the critical bottleneck in the energy transition. Narrated by my AI co-hosts, the episode unpacks:
- Why execution risk is now the dominant risk for investors
- How policy, permitting, and market design are stalling progress
- Why business model innovation matters more than hardware breakthroughs
- Whatâs missing in how we evaluate and scale climate-tech infrastructure
Backed by insights from the World Economic Forum, McKinsey, Allianz Capital Partners, and CDPQ, this is a systems-level look at where the real work lies in the net-zero journey.
đď¸ Listen in and share your thoughts â is it tech thatâs holding us back, or something deeper?
