RAW GREEN

EV batteries, manufacturing, defects, and gigafactory scale explained.Battery production is scaling fast — but how much do we actually see inside the cells being produced?In this episode of Raw Green, Francesco De Lieto and Emma Mee speak with Dan Brett (CEO of Sention Technologies) about EV battery manufacturing, lithium-ion battery defects, and how gigafactories manage quality at scale.We cover where defects come from, why many issues only show up later, and how new diagnostic approaches like ultrasound can help detect problems earlier — across R&D, production, and second-life batteries.The conversation also explores scrap rates in gigafactories, energy use, battery recycling, and the broader supply chain challenges shaping battery production in Europe and globally.A grounded look at how battery manufacturing actually works today — and what changes when you can finally see inside the cell.Don’t forget to follow the podcast to catch the next episode.Raw Green is produced and sponsored by OBE, a sustainability consultancy specialised in Life Cycle Assessment, research and climate technologies.For more information:⁠https://oneobe.com/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/on-behalf-of-earth/⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RAWGREEN_1⁠Suggestions or ideas for future episodes?Email us at ⁠[email protected]⁠Ciiiiao!

The energy transition is accelerating — solar, storage, electrification.But as energy systems become more connected and more distributed, they also become more exposed. In this episode of Raw Green, Francesco De Lieto and Emma Mee speak with Uri Sadot, Managing Director of Solar Defend (https://solardefend.eu/) , about a topic that is quickly moving from theory to reality: cybersecurity in energy infrastructure.Uri explains how renewable energy assets — particularly solar — are increasingly treated as critical infrastructure, and why that shift is forcing a new level of attention from regulators, investors, and operators. The conversation covers real-world incidents, including coordinated attacks on energy assets in Europe, and what these mean for the future of the grid. Beyond risk, the discussion moves into economics.How much does it actually cost to secure a solar plant?What happens when cybersecurity becomes a compliance requirement?And should resilience be factored into how energy assets are valued and financed?The episode also explores the role of AI — both as a tool for attackers and defenders — and why, despite increasing complexity, most vulnerabilities still come down to basic “cyber hygiene”.From grid resilience to investment decisions, this conversation looks at how the energy transition is evolving from a question of deployment to one of maturity — and what it takes to build a system that is not only clean, but robust.Don’t forget to follow the podcast to catch the next episode.Raw Green is produced and sponsored by OBE, a sustainability consultancy specialised in Life Cycle Assessment, research and climate technologies.For more information:https://oneobe.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/on-behalf-of-earth/https://www.youtube.com/@RAWGREEN_1Suggestions or ideas for future episodes?Email us at [email protected]! 🌱

Carbon fibre is one of the most advanced materials in modern engineering. It makes aircraft lighter, electric vehicles more efficient, wind turbines stronger, and high-performance sports equipment possible.But behind these advantages lies a major challenge.Producing carbon fibre is extremely energy-intensive, manufacturing generates large amounts of waste, and recycling composites remains technically difficult.In this episode of Raw Green, Francesco De Lieto and Emma Mee speak with Gary Owen, CEO at Lineat (http://lineat.co.uk/), a UK climate technology company developing industrial processes to recover and reuse carbon fibre.Gary explains why carbon fibre recycling has historically been so difficult, why large amounts of composite material are wasted during manufacturing, and how new technologies could help bring circularity to one of the most important materials used in aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing.The conversation explores the real carbon footprint of carbon fibre, the growing demand for lightweight materials in sectors like EVs and wind energy, and how recycled composites could become both a sustainability solution and a new industrial opportunity.From aircraft and Formula One to tennis rackets, electronics and electric vehicles, this episode looks at how advanced materials are shaping the future of engineering — and whether one of the most powerful materials ever developed can finally become circular.Don’t forget to follow the podcast to catch the next episode.Raw Green is produced and sponsored by OBE, a sustainability consultancy specialised in Life Cycle Assessment, research and climate technologies.For more information:https://oneobe.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/on-behalf-of-earth/https://www.youtube.com/@RAWGREEN_1Suggestions or ideas for future episodes?Email us at [email protected]! 🌱

For more than two decades, companies have relied on emission factors, spreadsheets, and high-level averages to calculate their carbon footprints. But what if this entire system is fundamentally flawed?In this episode of Raw Green, Francesco De Lieto and Emma Mee speak with Spencer Brennan, founder of Neutreeno (https://www.neutreeno.com/), about why today’s carbon accounting methods often fail to deliver the precision and insight needed for real decarbonisation — especially in complex, global supply chains.Spencer explains why traditional approaches can create a false sense of accuracy, how outdated databases distort Scope 3 emissions, and why spend-based carbon accounting can lead to massive overestimation. He introduces Neutreeno’s process-based modelling approach, built around thousands of real industrial processes, designed to deliver faster, auditable, and more actionable “engineering-grade” carbon data.From PlayStation consoles to steel, cement, pharma, and energy infrastructure, this conversation looks at how better data can unlock faster decarbonisation — and why measuring emissions is only useful if it leads to real change.A deep, honest discussion on the future of carbon accounting, sustainable procurement, and the tools companies will need to meet their 2030 targets.Don't forget to follow our podcast and catch up at the next episode!Raw Green is produced and sponsored by OBE, a sustainability consultancy firm specialised in Life Cycle Assessment, research and green technologies.

Today, we welcome Dan Botterill, the CEO and founder of RIO (⁠https://www.rio.ai⁠), a platform dedicated to sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices, helping companies in measuring and analyzing their carbon footprint. In our conversation, we discuss the intricacies and challenges associated with ESG requirements and reporting. We underscore the diversity in ESG standards and tools, creating a landscape where companies find it challenging to compare and trust the data. Moreover, the complexity extends to the selection of ESG software, where companies face difficulty in choosing the right platform due to the wide range of pricing options. Some platforms are unreasonably expensive, while others may be surprisingly cheap, adding an additional layer of complexity to the decision-making process.
