Show Notes
In this episode of Exploring Hydrogen, we are joined by MAN Energy Solutions’ Head of Power Sales Australia and Pacific, Timothy Meyers. Andy and Tim talk about MAN Energy Solutions’ energy transition as well as carbon intensity vs carbon colours and carbon’s value.
Tim’s Highlights:
1:25 – MAN Energy Solutions the company
1:58 – Marine sector emits 2-3% Global Emissions; MAN’s two stroke engine has a very large portion of this market and therefore has a very big role to play in decarbonisation
2:31 – Four major areas of green transitions: inputs, generation, transport and storage, as well as transitioning back into work
4:09 – How big is MAN Energy Solutions?
4:45 – Tim’s most passionate area – How do we reduce our carbon intensity?
5:41 – Carbon intensity vs carbon colours
7:50 – Opens the conversation of customers adding a value on carbon intensity in everyday products
9:58 – Alternative fuels – looking at the four major areas of green transitions
13:10 – There is not one solution to the carbon dilemma
14:28 – The grouped solutions will also need iterations of contracts and transactions
15:40 – Carbon accounting instead of green accounting
16:30 – Energy efficiencies
17:24 – Deliver energy in a more carbon effective way – needs to be cost effective
18:25 – Bill Gates’ book – How to avoid a climate change disaster
19:10 – We need to live in today; so that clear actions are taken and started
22:10 – Biggest challenge – At the moment there is no real value in reducing carbon intensity
23:50 – Power industry and industrial industry
24:00 – Power industry needs to ensure that they don’t have stranded assets
25:05 – Industrial industry needs to ensure that they have a viable business plan
26:40 – First mover disadvantage
27:25 – Cardon intensity needs to be part of the conversation
28:30 – There is a perception that hydrogen is going to be super cheap
29:00 – Cost of the projects and cost curves
32:00 – Carbon equalisation tax structure
32:20 – Value the carbon itself
33:30 – What is Tim excited about?
35:30 – Where does Tim see us in 10 years?

What is Exploring Clean Energy?
Join Andy Marsland in Exploring Clean Energy where we uncover the ideas, innovations, and projects powering our sustainable future.
You may know us as Exploring Hydrogen, where for 31 episodes we’ve shone a spotlight hydrogen. However, our global challenge of decarbonisation is much bigger than one energy vector.
Now, as we continue as The Exploring Clean Energy Podcast, this 2nd season we’re expanding the conversation to include the other stories that are shaping the energy transition of Australia and the world. We hope you enjoy the diversity of thought, and I welcome you so engage with me to help shape the episodes moving forward – so we can bring you the technical experts and projects that you want to hear about and to answer your important questions. Welcome to our energising journey.
