概要

 From turning food waste into energy, to recycled fashion and low-emission aviation fuel: Pitching Progress brings you the stories of innovators working to decarbonize the industries that power our world. On this show from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the founders of some of the world’s most inventive green-tech startups take part in an in-depth pitch session that challenges them to demonstrate their products' environmental impact, and the value they create for investors. We’ll show you that commerce and climate consciousness don’t have to be at odds with one another. That renewable energy, sustainability, and circular economies represent a leap forward for society, and incredible investment opportunities. In the process, we’ll introduce you to the people and stories behind the firms revolutionizing the modern economy. What does it take for an idea to go from the lab to the marketplace? What sort of fiscal barriers exist for green-tech entrepreneurs on their path to success? And will they be able to convince Vinay that their product, business plan and value propositions are strong enough to get them there? Join us as we demystify the world of green-tech and sustainable commerce, and inspire the next wave of forward-thinking investors and entrepreneurs to build on the burgeoning green economy. About Our Host: Pitching Progress is hosted by Vinay Shandal, who leads BCG’s sustainable finance and investing business. Vinay draws on his experience at the intersection of finance and sustainability to ask founders the tough questions about their operations, and challenge them to convince investors that the business is good for the world and good for their wallets.

  • Heating and Cooling Cities More Efficiently with Carlyle Coutinho, CEO of Enwave

    Heating and Cooling Cities More Efficiently with Carlyle Coutinho, CEO of Enwave
    2026/01/22

    Underneath the streets of downtown Toronto, there exists a massive system of pipes that use water drawn from the depths of Lake Ontario to help cool the skyscrapers above. This system, the largest of its kind in the world, is just one of a slate of creative solutions employed by Enwave, one of North America’s foremost district energy operators.

    Carlyle Coutinho is the CEO of Enwave, a company that works in concert with governments and real-estate developers to help Canadian cities identify more efficient and sustainable ways to heat and cool themselves.

    As Canada looks to build more housing to serve its growing population, finding more energy efficient ways to power these new developments will be critical. So will this focus on housing lead to new contracts for Enwave? Or could a downturn in the Canadian real estate market make governments and developers less likely to invest in new energy solutions?

    Let’s find out.

  • Keeping California Running on Renewable Diesel with Vince Godfrey, CEO of Olympus Terminals

    Keeping California Running on Renewable Diesel with Vince Godfrey, CEO of Olympus Terminals
    2026/01/08

    Today’s guest runs the most important piece of infrastructure that Californians have never heard of.

    Vince Godfrey is the CEO of Olympus Terminals, a company that operates a massive fuel storage facility at the Port of Long Beach. Olympus specializes in the offloading, blending, and storage of fuels shipped from overseas, including renewable diesel and biodiesel.

    Vince’s facility plays a vital role in Southern California, where refinery capacity is decreasing, and imported fuels will be needed to keep the people and economy moving during the transition to renewables.

    So how robust is the demand for renewable diesel in California? What makes the state’s energy market so idiosyncratic? And why is Olympus so well positioned to capitalize on all of it?

    Let's find out.
