As some of the world’s leading hydrocarbon producers grapple with how to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, one nation leads the charge: Canada. Despite having already significantly cut carbon emissions, transitioned to renewable infrastructure, and outlined concrete steps to reach total carbon neutrality, Canada’s success in producing clean energy is a largely unknown tale.

Jacob Irving, President of the Energy Council of Canada, and Arne Wohlschlegel, Managing Director at Siemens Energy Canada, are seeking to change that. Their collaboration is an effort not only to bring private industry and public institutions together to address modern energy needs, but to educate the public on the potential for success in the renewable energy transition.

On this episode of the Siemens Energy Podcast, Jacob and Arne recount their work in overcoming the logistical challenges facing renewable energy infrastructure and the struggle to create the popular demand necessary to implement this infrastructure on a large scale.

Notable topics of Jacob and Arne’s discussion include:

• The Canadian government’s responsiveness to a quickly changing energy sector
• Creating affordable renewable energy sources
• Educating the public on the viability of clean energy
• Partnering with Indigenous Canadians to create a more robust energy grid
