Climate tech’s surprising bottleneck – land access

Catalyst · 2 Jun 2022 · 39m

What this episode covers

Shayle Khan, partner at Energy Impact Partners (EIP), and Andy Lubershane, managing director of research at EIP, discuss land availability as a critical bottleneck for the energy transition. They analyze the massive land requirements for net-zero wind and solar deployment, the permitting challenges for new transmission lines, and the competition for underground 'pore space' for carbon sequestration and hydrogen storage. The conversation also covers the geopolitical constraints of mining energy transition metals and the limited supply of waste biomass for carbon removal.
