Are We Designing the Energy Systems We Actually Need? Investing in a Just and Scalable Energy Future with Alicia Eastman
Clean energy isn’t just about addressing climate challenges, it’s a chance to build a more prosperous, equitable future for everyone.
In this debut episode of Line of Sight, host Charlotte Kan sits down with Alicia Eastman, co-founder of InterContinental Energy and a trailblazer in global renewables, cleantech, and decarbonization to explore the future of energy. They dive into how green technologies can unlock new markets, drive economic resilience, and advance energy equity, especially in emerging markets. Alicia, who is also Managing Director of APC Investors and a Board member of ChipX, explains why the path to net zero depends not only on clean technologies like green hydrogen, but also on smarter systems, bold policy, and global collaboration.
Together, they unpack the "missing middle" in climate finance, explore how emerging economies can leapfrog straight into a green future, and examine the systems – from shipping ports to insurance markets – that must be reimagined to make it all possible.
