Episode description

This week, we interview Lokeshwar Vohra, Senior Investment Manager at Amber Infrastructure, on the role of batteriesin the decarbonisation journey. In his daily work at a specialist international infrastructure investment manager with approx. £9 billion assets under management, Lokeshwar is, among other things, looking for solutions to fully decarbonise the electrical grid and gives us insights on:

\ how he'd be very proud if the UK would be 100% powered by renewable energies in the coldest day of winter in 2050
\ how electric vehicles and heating add significant demand load to the electrical grid
\ what important role batteries play in all of this, as readily available renewable energy at times needs to be stored for up to six months (interseasonal storage)
\ his dream of how one day consumers will not need to restrict their energy consumption because carbon emissions will be fully decoupled from the usage of energy
