Podcast #12 - Save energy & protect the environment: All about sustainable heating
It's getting colder outside and warmer inside: the heating is turned up again in the cold season, which is why the twelfth episode of our podcast Strom Aufwärts is dedicated to the current topic of sustainable heating. Our interview guest is Alexander Steinfeldt from co2online.
Podcast #11 - Climate neutral heating: The building energy law explained and questioned
In recent weeks and months, one topic in particular has dominated the media: the Building Energy Act. But what was actually going on? To get to the bottom of this very question, we talk to Barbara Metz from Deutsche Umwelthilfe in episode #11 of the "Strom Aufwärts" podcast.
Podcast #10 - Balcony power plants & solar energy: How you contribute to the energy transition
The last few months have shown that electricity prices can fluctuate greatly and explode unexpectedly. Producing your own electricity makes you less dependent on the electricity market and enables you to participate in the energy transition. We talk about solar power from the roof, balcony or garden house with the Netzwerk Energiewende Jetzt e.V. and the Generationenhof Landau in podcast episode #10.
Podcast #9 - Energy crisis: what do energy suppliers say?
In episode #9 of "Strom Aufwärts" we asked energy providers to shed light on the energy market crisis from their perspective. They include Germany's largest energy cooperative, a supplier to church and social institutions, a social business and a basic utility.
Podcast #8 - Nuclear phase-out? Yes, please! Why the energy transition is important for peace, climate and health
The last three nuclear power plants in Germany will go offline at the end of 2022. However, critical voices are currently on the rise that propose extending the operating lives of the remaining nuclear power plants against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and the advance of climate change. In this episode, the disadvantages of nuclear power in terms of peace, climate and health are highlighted, which in some cases receive too little attention in the current debates.
Podcast #7 - Green power self-made: Solar power from the university roof promotes education and energy transition
From a practical seminar at the TU Berlin, the non-profit association Solar Powers e.V. develops with the construction of its own PV system on the roof of the university library. In the new podcast episode 7 we hear from Andrea Ruiz and Nils Becker the story about the construction of the PV system, the organization and hurdles as well as the integration into practical courses.
Podcast #6 - Let's talk about justice! How does an energy transition for social justice work?
In episode 5, we discussed how different energy systems affect global inequalities and what energy poverty means. In the sequel, we now look at the solution perspective. Dipesh Joshi from WWF Nepal and Dipal Chandra Barua, Solar Home Systems expert from Bangladesh, share insights on their work for sustainable energy and its impact on health, security, income and education. We are happy to welcome our first international guests!
Podcast #5 - Let's talk about justice! New episode 'Power Up' on energy systems and global inequality
Reliable access to energy without harmful effects on health and the environment is still not possible for everyone in the world today. In our new podcast episode, we talk about energy systems and global inequality.
Podcast #4 - New episode 'Power Up' on climate action in care.
How climate protection and the care sector are connected - that's not immediately obvious. But in fact, there are very good reasons to become active right here. For Steffen Lembke, Head of the Quality Management / Sustainability Department at AWO Bundesverband e.V., it is now clear - climate protection must be an integral part of social work. How he came to this conviction and why he would like to encourage other associations to follow this path can now be heard in the new episode 'Strom Aufwärts'.
