In this episode, we explore what net zero means to young engineers working in the industry today. I’m joined by Ella Booth and Craig Shepherd, both consultant engineers at Apollo, to talk about how they see net zero — not just as professionals in the sector, but as part of a generation that will live with the consequences of the transition.

Our conversation goes beyond the technical challenges. We also discuss changing behaviours, wider social expectations, and what a truly just transition could look like if we get it right.

In this episode of What On Earth!, we dive into what we really mean by the term “built environment” and why transforming it is essential to achieving a net zero world.

Our guest, Paul Weston of Box Twenty, breaks down the regulatory landscape shaping the sector and explains how government policy is accelerating improvements in building performance and sustainability.

We explore what “good” looks like today—beyond merely meeting compliance—and how evolving technology, design innovation, and shifting market demand are pushing the industry toward genuine excellence.

A resilient, low-carbon built environment is critical to our future. Tune in to understand how the industry is changing, what progress looks like in practice, and where the biggest opportunities lie.

Energy Transition 101 – In this episode, we cut through the noise and take a clear-eyed look at what a coherent, apolitical energy transition really involves.

Joining us are three experts from Apollo at the frontlines of decarbonisation:

· Phil Westmorland, Director of Decarbonisation

· Nigel Robinson, Director of Marine Energies

· Calum Westland, Head of Industrial Decarbonisation

Together, they unpack the fundamentals of the energy transition—from system redesign and industrial challenges to the social behaviours needed for a net zero world. We even squeeze in a quick detour into Sankey diagrams (Phil’s guilty pleasure) and ask the slightly absurd but revealing question: Could a team of Tour de France cyclists power your home?

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to move beyond the headlines and dive into the real, practical questions around net zero—and its surprising complexities.
