Following on from the UK Government’s world-leading net-zero carbon commitment, edie’s new spinoff podcast series, Net-Zero Business, will hear from the trendsetters and trailblazers of responsible businesses.

Since the UK Government set it’s 2050 net-zero target into law, more and more businesses are attempting to get ahead of the political curve by strengthening carbon and energy strategies and pledging to become net-zero businesses well before the 2050 deadline.

The Net-Zero Business podcast is a monthly digest of episodes that are 35 minutes or less in length. It usually features one in-depth interview with a sustainability or energy manager at a business with a net-zero or carbon-neutral goal. But, for this month’s special edition, sponsored by Centrica Business Solutions, we are taking a brief but detailed look at one of the sectors that is crucial to the net-zero transition – heat – with two expert guests, 

First up is an interview with the Heat Pump Federation’s director for growth and external affairs, Bean Beanland. He provides an overview of the state of play in the UK’s heat pump manufacturing and installation sectors and outlines what the current policy context means for business. 

Then, episode host Sarah George, edie’s senior reporter, talks with Centrica Business Solutions’ business development manager for heat pump solutions, Michael Firth. Michael provides advice on the practicalities of replacing fossil-based heating with greener alternatives for private and public sector organisations across the UK.
