Solar power proves a compelling energy source in the current business landscape

Face the Facts will give energy professionals, sustainability experts and journalists access to opinions and insights on the latest global news stories from the world’s leading energy experts within DNV GL and its global network.

According to Lucy Craig, vice president of Technology and Innovation at DNV GL – Energy, energy companies around the world are living through a period of great change.

“The rise of renewables, the impact of new technologies, and increased electrification are transforming the energy sector. At the same time, the climate emergency requires acceleration in decarbonisation measures," said Craig. “These major challenges now facing the energy sector, societies, and governments all over the world call for significant debate, so people everywhere are aware of the issues and informed on the facts."

“This is why we are launching our new podcast, Face the Facts, so people can tune in and listen to what DNV GL’s energy experts think about the news stories that surround us each week. We believe our insight and opinion will help audiences know and understand the real facts,” he added.

Published weekly in a short format designed to inform and inspire, each episode will bring the latest information on renewable energy technologies to a senior global audience – including content on the climate emergency, wind and solar, electric grids, electric vehicles, the power system, energy storage, management, financing, innovation, and digitalisation.

A team of senior speakers from across DNV GL’s global business will respond to live news stories and events each week, sharing their insights and opinions on the facts at the heart of the issue. In addition to this in-house team, the podcast will feature external speakers from business, academia, and the media.

Face the Facts builds on the great success of the DNV GL Talks Energy podcast, which has featured a long line of distinguished speakers from companies and organisations such as Shell New Energies, Engie, Microsoft, the World Bank, and Schneider Electric.

Intelligent and thought-provoking, the Talks Energy podcast reaches a global audience of over 10,000 listeners per episode.
