Episode #57: Decarbonizing the Industrial Sector & Distribution of Energy Production with Hans Holmström of Siemens Energy [an Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Podcast]
The global efforts to decarbonize require an all-hands-on-deck approach across the economy, with one of the toughest areas to tackle remaining the industrial sector. The production of cement, glass, steel, and other key materials all require dispatchable, reliable, affordable energy. At the same time, the prospect of rapidly having to rely solely on renewables like solar or wind is a daunting prospect.
But there is a way. Today’s guest on the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast emphasizes the importance of taking a stepwise approach to meeting the zero-carbon energy future, one that will embrace renewables as well as hydrogen, hydropower, efficient gas turbines, and much more.
This episode features an in-depth conversation with Hans Holmström, the VP of the Industrial Gas Turbine Business within Siemens Energy, as he shares his insights from the front row seat he has during this complex and massive transformation taking place across the industrial and energy sectors. Balancing the importance of saving the world via low carbon and zero carbon solutions with a recognition that proposed solutions must work in the real-world environment, Hans provides podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester with the background education on of why we should all be feeling more optimistic and hopeful about our decarbonized future.
