Mats Larsson, Founder of the Global Energy Transformation (GET) Institute, based in southern Sweden, discusses what it takes to transition to global electrification using sustainable energy. We delve deep into how we can change our oil & gas mobility to more electric vehicles in light of the EU's impending ban on diesel and petrol cars and that it takes more than just technology to create a major paradigm shift. It's not the first time we've embarked on such major transformations in human society, but we need to harness the lessons from the past and act yesterday to be prepared for major changes and uncertainties of the future. The episode is also sprinkled with fun anecdotes around Swedish life and culture (not to mention crime novels).Podcast Intro/Outro Song: Starsky by Alex Keren (Check out more of his tunes over on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vZ3lENfDLjkln8scBJ8mW)Chapters:0:00 Intro1:59 Guest Intro & some Swedish culture6:27 The GET Institute and its mission7:42 The origin of Mats interest in energy14:57 How do alternatives to EVs compare?16:53 Planning stepwise for a societal shift - Parallels to Apollo20:50 Is there a way to speed up adoption of EVs?23:06 A question of cities?25:32 Is increased battery life an answer to greater adoption?27:28 An insight into Mats' projects at the GET Institute37:00 Scaling up sustainable electrification41:09 Transition starts by simply starting44:10 What about AI?47:07 Q&A Start47:27 What does innovation mean to you?49:10 Key Moment, Event, Book51:15 Time Management54:51 Favourite Childhood Memory55:48 Greatest challenge to date58:22 Advice for young professionals1:00:15 What would you most like to be remembered for?1:01:52 Where can people find you?1:03:45 Final Message1:03:59 OutroDetailed shownotes over at: petermbach.com/podcast for more in-depth information about each episode.Join the community over at: linkedin.com/company/tgcpodcast and let's connect across the world!Subscribe and listen to the podcast (and do please leave a review/rating) on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts from.
