Does Propane Play a Role in the Energy Transformation? | PERC Interview

Does propane play a role in our energy “transformation” as Tucker Perkins calls it, not energy “transition”?
Yes.
And make sure that you stick around for this entire episode to figure out just what role that propane and natural gas will play during this energy transformation that is currently taking place.
Because we need to make this transformation happen as soon as possible, so we need to explore all potential avenues.
and plus, if we can get a win where we are burning a much cleaner gas, with extremely reduced carbon footprint, and that allows us to reach our goals of NetZero faster around the world than we have to do it.
Plus, as Tucker mentions during this interview, there are 13 new ways of sourcing RENEWABLE propane, and through some methods may even be carbon negative.
So all I can say is don’t discount the role that propane will play in our energy transformation, and stay tuned for this entire interview to find out how the future of propane as part of our journey to fight the climate crisis.

GreenTech Marketplace to Connect Back to Nature | Frogeex Interview

Let’s design cities and architecture that have a deeper connection with nature. Because one of the best ways to design something is to see how nature has already designed things to withstand the environment. Nature has been around a lot longer than humans have, so being able to connect and understand how we can make our cities more aligned with nature is super important to the sustainability of cities in the future.
And we have so many solutions out there that use biomimicry in their design. But sometimes it can be hard to find those solutions.
Which is one of the reasons why my guest, Jana Skokan, created a marketplace for greentech and sustainable solutions that are rooted in nature. Giving space for greentech businesses to show off what they have to offer to the world.
To learn how you can get involved into this platform and show off your greentech product to the world, make sure you visit https://frogeex.com/ and check out this entire episode to hear all the things that Jana has planned for the community and marketplace she is building.
