Author: Interchange podcast - The interconnected role of energy and transport
Costain's Andy Clarke, integrated transport director, recently participated in a wide-ranging conversation with James Rowntree, WSP’s Enterprise Director for the Great Grid Upgrade, about the next steps for realising the integrated transport agenda. After all, there’s no transition without transmission. Together, Andy and James look at an integrated, connected and decarbonised transport system through the lens of energy, and the role of the sector in affecting change.
Catch up on the Interchange podcast episode which covers:
- The close link between energy and transport and how we have to get them to work better together to deliver a low carbon transport network.
- How integrated transport delivery is about creating a connected system that includes transport, energy, policy, finance and much, much more.
- The rapid investment and ambitious development pipeline to upgrade our electricity grid infrastructure.
- The role of innovation with technology such as hydrogen and battery storage, which we will need to develop hit the targets our net zero targets.
- The rising importance of local generation and for multiple energy generation solutions.
