Sustainability is our passion and that is why this Podcast exists. We know the world has to pull together to secure a sustainable future so we want to bring likeminded individuals (and sceptics) together, to really get under the skin of what practical actions can be taken by all of us to drive success.
The podcast is aimed at everyone who can make a decision to do things differently, everyone that can influence decisions being made and everyone that wishes they had an opportunity to create influence. We want professionals from all walks of life to join our discussions, we want everyone to see what everyone else is doing so we can share knowledge and experience and prove that the best way to get to where we all want to be, is together.
Carbon Times is hosted by Paul Holden and Jody Horne. Paul is a professional consultant with over 20 years experience providing professional advice to the real estate industry, corporate organisations, retailors, the hospitality industry, major infrastructure projects and the public sector. Advising on topics covering compliance, sustainability, environmental management, design and digital transformation. Working with some of the UK's largest consultancies. Paul brings a wealth of experience across a wide range of sectors, enabling him to hold meaningful conversations with our guests. Jody is the true brains behind the project, an ever passionate sustainability professional with a depth of industry expertise that is difficult to quantify. Jody drives the conversation around how we all create a more sustainable, net zero emissions world for the better of future generations through her passion for the subject.

Carbon Times – reflecting on solar gains through glass
In
this the latest episode of the Carbon Times Podcast we speak to Molly Allington
who is the CEO and Co-founder of Albotherm.
Albotherm
are developing glass coatings that reversibly transition from transparent to
white to reduce solar gain in hot weather, allowing buildings and greenhouses
to regulate their own temperature without electrical input. Our coatings are
tunable to transition temperatures between 18 °C and 45 °C to create
comfortable internal temperatures in a range of climates.
Temperature
regulation is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas
emissions with air conditioning alone accounting for 20% of electricity usage
from buildings and 10% of total global electricity usage. Glass buildings in
particular have problems with overheating as they trap solar radiation. The
technology has been developed at the University of Bristol and is being
continued at Albotherm by our CTO Dr Sian Fussell and Scientific Advisor Professor
Paddy Royall.
We
talk to Molly about the journey so far the exciting proof of concept and trial
projects they have completed, and are still ongoing. We explore the potential
of the product and all of many building challenges it could help to address.
We
hope you enjoy the episode, thank you for listening. As always we want to
provide interesting and insightful content to keep the sustainability
conversation going, we all have a responsibility to consider how we create a
more sustainable world.

Talking textiles - can leather alternatives be sustainable
In our latest episode we speak to Daniella from Biophilica about their reach in to the textiles market looking to provide a sustainable alternative to leather.
Anyone who has looked in to leather alternatives will know it can be a real minefield, there are many alternatives out there which do not use animal products so can talk about providing more sustainable products. However many of these alternatives use plastics and other polymer products that may not be a suitable alternative for many consumers, we have all learned over the years the damage plastics do to the environment and how long their effects are around.
Biophilica have developed their product ‘Treekind’ as a sustainable alternative to leather, their product is made entirely from green waste like leaves and twigs…! As well as the core product being more sustainable the process itself boasts some great credentials, for example the process uses less than 1% of the water required to produce leather from animal products.
We hope you enjoy the episode, as always we are finding interesting conversation to keep us all talking. Lets learn more and share experience so we can all do our part to build a more sustainable future together.
