From the moment our eyes open we rely on energy. The breakfast we eat, the clothes we dress in, and the machines that connect us all need incredibly complex global systems to function efficiently.

Chemical engineer Yasmin Ali works in the heart of those systems. She now works in the renewable energy sector, and her recent book, Power Up: An Engineer's Adventures in Sustainable Energyis a mind-blowing overview of how it all works.

She joins us to discuss creativity's role, particularly innovation and ideas in energy advances. Yasmin shares many superb stories from her work and insights into the industry. She helps us identify ways to contribute to the massive transitions we need to make to avoid the looming threat of the climate crisis.
