With 40% of
emissions being used on buildings and 20% on
materials, the guests delve into the short- and
long-term costs of going carbon neutral and whether it is a realistic
goal with today’s current economic
climate. The
guests discuss how an increase in sustainability
pressure, paired with geopolitical instability and
labour
scarcity are
a handful of
the challenges that accompany reaching net zero
targets.
Emanuel
shares how the EcoWork’s
product can help
tackle key issues around scarcity of labour and materials from
factories,
whilst Mauricio discusses the
trends he has
seen with his portfolio companies in terms of increasing their
sales.
Previous episodes
mentioned
Regulation is actually
pushing for a
lot of technology adoption in terms of higher requirements, and these
requirements just make the processes much more complex, right? –
Mauricio
So they
really tackle the 80 percent renewable energy goal for 2030
and they really decarbonize the
heating system with good and aggressive regulations. –
Emanuel
The construction sector invests 1
percent in R&D and the housing sector 0.1%. So, they will not bring any
transformation towards affordability and
decarbonization. – Emanuel
You do need regulators
–
to start
pointing the marketing to the right direction, but you also want to
keep competitiveness and
ensure
a free environment
and a secure environment to make investments and to see the return
of these investments. – Mauricio
Investors and a lot of
stakeholders are questioning
whether this is the right moment to be investing in technologies or
an economic turn that will potentially slow down the piece of
adoption for technology – Mauricio
Previous episodes mentioned
The
use of
circular building materials in helping companies reach net
zero targets
The
need for
common standards across Europe, as well as the challenges that this
would
bring
due to difference in
buildings and needs for each
country
The need for
regulators to be very close to investors in sharing short
term and long-term goals of decarbonisation and
technology adoption
How
to
position certain
aspects of ESG to pitch to create sustainable competitive
advantage for that company without changing the core of
your business
Emmanuel
shares some advice about the German market for founders looking to
expand
The
lack of
construction companies in Germany
Emanuel
Heisenberg studied history and economics in Munich and Cambridge.
He has over 15 years of experience in setting up and developing
companies for renewable energies and ESCO and has contributed to
more than 50 energy projects. His international network
includes numerous funds, utility companies, IPPs,
entrepreneurs, and research institutions. After founding a
contracting and geothermal energy company, he established
ecoworks
in 2019, introducing
the concept of serial renovation to Germany. An initial pilot project in Hameln proved
challenging but was also a significant success. The renovated
buildings there have demonstrably achieved NetZero levels. In
addition to his role as CEO and founder, he is also active as a
speaker and expert in energy and climate policy,
advising
the German federal
government, companies, and private equity funds in the fields of
heating and energy efficiency. In 2020, together with journalist
Georg Diez, he co-wrote a book on the significance of technology in
reinventing democracy (Power
To
The People:
How We Reinvent Democracy with Technology).
ecoworks
develops end-to-end
software and prefabricated elements to turn apartment buildings
with significant renovation backlog into attractive and
climate-neutral living spaces in just a few weeks. In this way, the
company is making a significant contribution to rapidly reducing
emissions in the building sector and the dependence on fossil
fuels. ecoworks
is an innovation
leader in a market that will unleash enormous investment volumes in
the wake of national and European legislative initiatives and
rising energy and CO2 prices. Around 45 million residential units
in Europe are
located in buildings with the worst energy
ratings. In addition to regulation, these will be particularly
burdened by high CO2 prices, which will become mandatory for the
building sector soon. Comparable regulations are already planned or
in effect in parts of the US and Asia.
The
Berlin-based company developed the technology in Germany and is
currently bringing it to the mass market with several projects. The
company is considered one of the most innovative providers of
Climate Tech in the building sector
worldwide.
