Shifting the Dial
Manage episode 204534471 series 1301464
How can the world move faster to ramp up renewable power? In the Balance examines the efforts of businesses and governments to manage the shift from fossil fuels - coal, gas and oil - to renewable sources like wind, solar and hydro.
It's sometimes a bewilderingly complex world of goals, targets and treaties. But the key thing, according to the International Energy Agency, is that currently the world is not shifting fast enough away from fossil fuels. Ed Butler hears from energy industry insiders and experts on ways to boost renewable technologies and what's holding them back.
Contributors: Claudia Kemfert, energy expert DIW, Germany Stephen Bull, Senior Vice President, Statoil, wind and carbon capture and storage Wilfrid Petrie, CEO, Engie UK
Producer: Audrey Tinline
