The Future of Chinese Solar, Battery Myths & Climate Politics | Ep174: Michael Liebreich & Bryony Worthington

In the final episode of Season 12, hosts Michael Liebreich and Bryony Worthington reflect on the key conversations and developments in the net-zero transition over the past three months, including:

  • China's leadership in green finance and the role of air quality issues in driving climate action
  • The rapid growth of the solar industry and its potential to meet global electricity demand
  • The progress and challenges around electric vehicles, battery recycling, and the need for a holistic approach to energy storage
  • The potential of thermal batteries for storing excess renewable energy
  • The debates around engineering solutions like direct air capture and synthetic proteins
  • The politics of climate change, the UK election results, the EU's hydrogen plans, and what might happen in the US
  • The intersection of fashion, sustainability, and climate change

We'll be back for Season 13 of Cleaning Up at the beginning of September. Thanks so much for listening, and see you then! In the meantime, please share this podcast with a friend, colleague, family, or whoever you think might enjoy it.
