Episode 6: Kevin Krausart, Avatar Innovations

On this episode of CRIN @ COP28, hosted by Bill Whitelaw, we sit down with Kevin Krausert, CEO and co-founder of Avatar Innovations, for a fascinating look at the work Avatar Innovations does to advance the effective deployment of technology to help the industry improve its emissions reductions. How will we actually make a difference in solving our emissions challenges? According to Kevin, the path forward is not in regulation but in innovation.

Covered in this episode:

The changes Kevin has seen throughout his career in the oil and gas industry and how those changes and challenges inspired him to start working with the University of Calgary to develop the Avatar program
The goals of Avatar Innovations to build technical competencies and collaboration within the oil and gas process chain to deploy technology and innovation more effectively in the field, while also bringing emissions reduction technologies to market faster
How Avatar Innovations' unique corporate ventures studio leads bright, emerging young leaders through its program to tackle some of the biggest challenges in different technology streams to unlock innovation faster
How transformation may be the fastest, simplest and cheapest way to get to a net zero future
What Kevin hopes to achieve as he leads a couple of different multi-stakeholder panel discussions and a showcase of 18 exciting Alberta clean tech start-ups, all taking place as part of the CRIN Pavilion at COP28
For those who can't attend, what to watch for beyond the headlines of COP28 as the conversation unfolds.
