Powering Change Podcast Series
Welcome to Ashurst's Powering Change podcast series, where we take a deep dive into the trends, challenges and opportunities that are shaping the global energy market.
In this special series, we delve into the topics and themes explored in our latest Powering Change: A New Era for the Energy Transition report, which draws on five years of comprehensive data to provide key insights into how the global energy market is evolving. We're joined by global energy experts who share unique, real-world insights into how their organisations are driving the energy transition forward, the challenges they've faced and the opportunities that lay ahead.
Listen today to join the conversation.
Our latest episodes
We explore the evolving role of biomethane in the energy transition with host Cameron Smith (Partner, Projects & Energy Transition) and special guest Philipp Lukas (CEO of Future Biogas).
They discuss how Future Biogas is helping corporates like AstraZeneca take steps to decarbonise its operations using biomethane, and the critical role of partnerships, feedstock strategy, and supply chain transparency.
In this episode, Bree Miechel (Partner, Projects & Energy Transition at Ashurst) is joined by special guest Simon McFadden, a digital infrastructure expert at Aurecon.
Together, they discuss how data centres – often referred to as “the factories of the digital age” – are evolving to keep pace with demand in Australia, the Asia Pacific and beyond.
Bree Miechel (Partner, Projects & Energy Transition at Ashurst) speaks with Rory Van Weerdenburg (Project Director of Gippsland Skies), who leads one of Australia's first offshore wind projects.
They explore the rapid evolution of the global energy sector, and the opportunities and challenges ahead, from securing infrastructure and investment, to navigating policy and building social licence.
