Wicked Problems - Climate Tech Conversations

Christmas Bonus Best-of: Fan Fave Michael Barnard

In case you missed it, here's our most popular episode of 2023 - our chat with the one and only Michael Barnard.


Back in October, we talked about IEA's World Energy Outlook, COP28, Hydrogen hopium, CCUS, predatory delay, HVDC, electrification, LDES, Michael Liebreich, and MPs "with the STEM background of illiterate newts"

Michael Barnard is a Forbes and Cleantechnica contributor, chief strategist at The Future is Electric, and climate futurist advising global corporates and financial institutions on decarbonisation scenarios with 80-year horizons. And woe be unto you if you turn up in his LinkedIn comments without receipts. 


This week the IEA released its 2023 World Energy Outlook, an updated Michael Liebreich Hydrogen Ladder 5.0, and #COP28 is only a month away - making it the perfect time to check in with the most unfiltered energy and climate tech strategists around. 


He comprehensively out-nerds host Richard Delevan in this episode of the Wicked Problems Podcast.
