Episode 14 – No More ExCCUSes for Decarbonization

Plugged In: A Guidehouse Insights Podcast

Join us on the 14th episode of Plugged In, Guidehouse Insights Podcast where we go deep into emerging sustainability topics and how they might be all around you! We have a new cohost back to helm Plugged In: Grace Zucker!

This episode features Serkan Birgel, a geopolitics and sustainability expert Senior Consultant from Guidehouse Insights’ Power and Renewables team. Serkan leads the company’s CCUS project tracker, leveraging his background in both geopolitics and sustainability with his Masters from King’s College and PhD from the University of Oxford.

Intrigued by the connection between geopolitics in Cyprus and decarbonization efforts? We explore that with Serkan, along with the exciting potential of CCUS technology. We talk about the current standing and growing capacity for carbon capture, what pairs best with CCUS for effective decarbonization, and what the next 10 years will look like for this still rising industry. This episode spans the United Kingdom to Cyprus and Turkey as we take time to envision ourselves at the dinner table with Serkan’s family growing up, and see the background that fostered the intellectual curiosity Serkan has to offer.
