Aviation and shipping are responsible for around 5% of global emissions. Efforts are underway to reduce and price pollution generated by the two sectors but a lot of work still needs to be done. If mechanisms are designed well, planes and ships could not just cut their emissions but also make a substantial contribution to climate finance. Aoife O'Leary, founder of Opportunity Green, joins Sam Morgan on The Jolt to share her view on what the two sectors are up to, while Constance Dijkstra, an International Maritime Organisation expert with Transport & Environment, explains what kind of role the UN body is set to play next year.

Mention blue hydrogen in a conversation about the #energytransition and you’ll get a mixed response. In the spectrum of hydrogens, blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas through a process that captures and stores the carbon dioxide. So some see it as a barrier to a cleaner greener future, while some view it as a bridge. Henrik Rasmussen’s chief for the Americas, joins @DaveW_FORESIGHT on @EnergyEnablers to discuss the US approach to blue hydrogen production and the lessons for Europe’s ambitions.
