Episode 027 | Connor Reed: The Launch of Twenty First Century Cleantech

In this episode I talk with Connor Reed, about the launch of a new segment on this podcast that we’re calling “Twenty First Century CleanTech.” In this segment, that will air every other month, Connor will be interviewing leading entrepreneurs, researchers, and business leaders who are breaking fresh ground with innovative new Clean Technologies that could be important tools for helping us to transition to a zero-carbon economy. This is a project that Connor and I are very excited to be launching, and I’m thinking you will also enjoy hearing from a new voice with a fresh perspective. Connor is currently an Associate with Reshape Infrastructure Strategies in Toronto where he is responsible for low-carbon development strategy. He is a one of those rare individuals who likes to get deep into the weeds on analytical engineering problems, BUT who can also pull up to look at a problem from 30,000 feet. Connor’s professional focus is on advancing district scale energy solutions to facilitate innovative, resilient, and sustainable urban development. Even though he spends his 9-to-5 mostly thinking about green buildings and green cities, he also tries to stay on top of anything and everything related to decarbonization -- from Nuclear Fusion to Carbon Sequestration. You can think of this episode as a prequal to the Twenty First Century CleanTech launch, which we plan to be a reoccurring segment. In this first episode Connor and I talk about his passion for podcasting, what types of CleanTech stories he will be exploring, who he will be interviewing, and who he hopes to interview in the future. We will also be hearing a few clips some of the upcoming interviews that Connor has lined-up. I hope you enjoy our conversation! -------------------- You can read more about this podcast in the podcast’s Show Notes.  Please Support this Podcast: The Twenty First Century Imperative podcast relies entirely on user support.
