This  month we welcome two women working in different areas of renewable energy. Sarah Merrick, the founder and CEO of Ripple, a co-op wind farm and Caroline Donnelly, a consent manager for SSE Renewable and the first female IEMA Fellow in Ireland.

We hear about the fantastic work they are doing in the renewable energy sector as well as how the renewable energy sector can help reduce energy costs.

We discuss the roadblocks that are slowing down the uptake of renewable energy in the UK and Ireland. We also touch on some of the myths regarding new technologies like the heat pumps for heating our homes and the use of hydrogen to power vehicles.

We want to know about how our IEMA members are dealing with rising energy cost, so please do write to us: podcasts@iema.net
