<p>88% of New Zealand’s electricity is renewable, but that’s only part of the picture. The reality is that our total energy system — including heat and transport — is only around 30% renewable. So how do we bridge that gap? Isabelle takes us through a range of groundbreaking projects aimed at decarbonizing our entire energy system. In this episode, we’re joined by Isabelle Chambefort, Energy Futures Science Lead at GNS Science, to explore groundbreaking projects tackling every angle of the energy crisis. From carbon-negative concrete to supercritical geothermal, geological energy storage and better home appliances, Isabelle explains the bold innovations shaping a cleaner, more resilient energy future. Discover how New Zealand science can drive change in hard-to-decarbonize sectors like agriculture, construction, and transport, and why energy efficiency and alternative storage solutions are key to unlocking a truly renewable energy system. </p>

<p>As an island nation we love our coastlines – we live by them, holiday to them, fish from them. But this does not come without its risks. Sitting at the conjunction of two tectonic plates and with bragging rights of the 9th longest coastline in the world, we are in constant threat of tsunamis. </p><p>As soon as a large offshore earthquake occurs, tsunami scientists are racing the clock trying to determine if there is a tsunami and if so, where and when will it hit. The RCET programme is developing tools to rapidly fill this information gap and go a step further to forecast how a tsunami will ‘evolve’, meaning before the tsunami even arrives, we know exactly when, where and how it will travel around the coastline as well as what the impacts will be and importantly, when it will abate and people can go safely home. </p><p>Bill discusses how the programme is pulling from multiple and creative data sources to build this picture in the vast void of the Pacific Ocean where our risk is high and our eyes are few. </p>

<p>Our ‘land of the shaky isles’ – is subject to the whims of tectonic plates and volcanoes, oceans, and geological processes. Using leading tech, the RiskScape powered supercomputer is humming away, crunching data and scenarios every second. It can tell us which roads would close following an Alpine Fault earthquake, whether volcanic ash will land on your roof and even whether a sea wall would protect your community from both tsunami and erosion. Dr. Nick Horspool discuss the science behind the endless possibilities to reduce our exposure to risk. </p>
