Climate Confident - Practical Climate Solutions That Cut Emissions

Climate Confident is for business leaders, climate professionals and policymakers who need to understand what is actually cutting emissions—and what it takes to make those solutions work at scale.

Each Wednesday, I speak with the executives, engineers, scientists, founders and policymakers turning climate ambition into measurable progress. Together, we examine the technologies, business models, policies and implementation strategies reshaping energy, transport, industry, supply chains, food and finance.

These are not conversations about distant targets, vague pledges or greenwash. They are candid discussions about what is working, what is failing, where the real bottlenecks lie, and how leaders can make better decisions about decarbonisation, resilience, investment and risk.

You will hear:

Proven approaches to reducing emissions
Hard-earned lessons from real-world implementation
Analysis of the markets, technologies and policies driving the transition
Honest examination of costs, trade-offs, setbacks and unintended consequences
Practical ideas for turning climate commitments into action

New episodes are published every Wednesday at 7am CET. Subscribers also receive bonus episodes featuring highlights, analysis and emerging themes from across the series.

Follow Climate Confident for practical climate solutions, informed debate and the insights you need to turn ambition into measurable progress.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, where I, Tom Raftery, have the pleasure of hosting Tim Brown, the CEO of Tradewater.

In this episode, we delve into the crucial work that Tradewater is undertaking to combat climate change through the collection, control, and destruction of greenhouse gases.

Tim provides insight into the specific gases that the company is targeting, such as old refrigerants and methane from abandoned and orphaned oil and gas wells, as well as the scale of the problem at hand.

He also discusses Trade Water's plans for growth and expansion in the upcoming years, and highlights the international nature of the work.

We also touch on the challenges of working in diverse cultures and the importance of collective efforts in the fight against climate change. T

his conversation is both informative and engaging, and I am confident that you will find it valuable. To learn more about Tradewater and its mission, visit their website at tradewater.us and connect with Tim on LinkedIn. Thank you for listening
