Interview sharing, providing a form that tackles everything from legislation and pre-treatment to SAF production and biorefining.
“ Although we’ re highly technical and passionate people, we take great care in identifying the most interesting topics for our listeners at that time to ensure we remain relevant. The podcast was originally intended to target refineries and inspire them to view the energy transition as an opportunity rather than a threat. We know that there are around 700 refineries in the world, so our initial target was to have listeners from at least half of these. I’ m pleased to say that today, Fuel for Thought has wildly overtaken our estimations, with 2.5 million overall downloads and more than 70,000 downloads on our top-performing episodes.”
Speaking about some of her favorite episodes, Mikala adds:“ One of the most mindblowing episodes was one of our SAF specials, where we were joined by Anders Fagernæs, Vice President of Sustainability at Norwegian Air Shuttle, because Anders provided a holistic view on the future of aviation. I also enjoyed the episode featuring Preem, Sweden’ s largest refinery, as it was great to explore their roadmap to becoming a renewable refinery.”
The Fuel for Thought podcast was born in 2019 as a vehicle for us to address customer questions and concerns. We invite a guest speaker, after which me and Sylvain Verdier, the podcast host and Topsoe’ s Senior Strategy Manager, discuss the teachings and add our view to the topic
Shaping tomorrow’ s energy landscape
Mikala’ s dedication to the industry is admirable; not only is she securing Topsoe’ s leading position in low-carbon and renewable fuels, but she’ s also sharing her perspectives far and wide, encouraging conversations and ultimately educating others.“ Topsoe is ready for whatever the energy transition brings next,” she states.“ We’ re constantly developing new catalysts and processes, and we’ re committed to transforming the value chain into a value circle. The next step is securing clear, understandable legislation to support widespread adoption of renewables.
“ Transition requires collaboration across the industry and among customers; only by understanding the goals and challenges can we develop solutions that offer improvements,” Mikala concludes.“ We must remember that a global sense of community is needed, as the answer to energy transition does not lie in a single solution, but rather in a unique combination of technologies and innovations from around the world.” ■
