Episode 8: A funeral for fossil fuels and $150bn for grids

Welcome to COP30 Covered - the daily podcast show from the award-winning edie team which will be keeping you informed and inspired during the 2025 UN climate summit in Brazil. This eighth episode, released Saturday 15 November 2025, focuses on the energy transition. How is the world progressing towards the goal set at COP28, two years ago, to treble renewables? Are we thinking too much about wind turbines, solar panels and dams, and not enough about grids and supply chains? We ask our special expert guest speaker, Alfredo Parres, Hitachi Energy’s head of renewables. Your host, edie's content editor Sarah George, also brings you today's biggest headlines, including new funding commitments for grids and low-carbon transport - as well as a huge city-wide demonstration in Belem.
