Climate Tech Canada hosts The Climate Cycle, a technology show with 47 episodes published.
Up to 50% of industrial heat is wasted. For decades, cheap electricity meant nobody bothered capturing it. That's changing as industry looks for more power, better efficiency, and lower emissions. Local energy networks t
Canada's built environment accounts for roughly 40% of national emissions - and building materials, one of the least-discussed corners of climate tech, are where a lot of that carbon actually lives. In this episode, we l
A generation of climate tech was built on assumptions that no longer hold up. AI primitives and cutting-edge models are commoditizing software, creating new questions around the future of climate software. We sit down wi
Canada's industrial carbon pricing system just went through its biggest redesign since it launched, trading ambition for stability. Depending on who you ask, the deal is either a major unlock - or a major step backwards.
Climate startups face a commercialization gap: They've proven the science, but are too risky for VCs - and too commercial for a government grant. It's a gap that philanthropic capital is well-positioned to close. Galith
We know heat pumps work - they’ve been around for decades - but actually getting them into homes is a challenge. The gap is structural: high upfront costs, a buying process stuck in the 90s, and a supply chain stacking l
Can Toronto become a global climate hub - and put Canada on the map? Becky Park-Romanovsky is a global leader in sustainability and climate action, with a track record of launching and scaling climate-focused initiatives
The battery storage market is growing - and the supply chain feeding it runs largely through overseas cell manufacturers. At the same time, the first wave of EV batteries is aging out of vehicles, with nowhere obvious to

Since 2015, over 200 new contaminants have entered our water systems. Traditional purification technology wasn't built to keep up. Diana Virgovicova is the founder and CEO of Xatoms , a Canadian company using AI and quan
Canada's auto sector faces a choice: follow the US away from EVs, or bet on the technology the rest of the world is adopting. We look at Canada’s new auto strategy - dropping Chinese EV tariffs, restoring rebates, and in
AI data centres are consuming electricity at unprecedented rates, creating anxiety about grid stability, power bills, and backsliding on climate progress by firing up natural gas generators to meet demand. But done right
Electrification depends on critical minerals — but mining and processing them remains one of the dirtiest, most constrained parts of the clean energy transition. While countries like Canada are rich in mineral resources,
What does it actually take to build first-of-a-kind climate projects inside some of the world’s most risk-averse industries? In this episode, three leaders share how they’re scaling climate hard tech in the real world. S
In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Goodman , President and CEO of NorthX . NorthX deploys non-dilutive catalytic capital at the early stages of commercialization, where founders face high risk, limited funding options,
We sit down with Hayden Smith , founder and CEO of FeX Energy , to unpack why energy storage matters to the energy transition and how their new iron-based storage solution could challenge incumbent technologies like lith
