00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.967
Tell me a bit about your work and what it
is that you've been doing to drive change,

b2f7b36a-b17a-4800-a412-b5dc6a51bd36-1
00:00:13.967 --> 00:00:16.996
and it'll be great to hear what you've
been the most proud of,

b2f7b36a-b17a-4800-a412-b5dc6a51bd36-2
00:00:16.996 --> 00:00:19.160
of all the amazing things you've been
doing.

63199061-0a59-41d4-82f0-6bdaa3c42e09-0
00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:20.440
Sure.

ab6a15be-68c9-41fd-be5d-4358ccbc7b6e-0
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.400
So at Odyssey,
we're very committed to driving

ab6a15be-68c9-41fd-be5d-4358ccbc7b6e-1
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:29.878
sustainable innovation,
especially in the traditional energy and

ab6a15be-68c9-41fd-be5d-4358ccbc7b6e-2
00:00:29.878 --> 00:00:31.480
industrial sectors.

a3ad5dac-2982-4cfe-8ccd-de47bd527524-0
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.297
In Asia Pacific region in particular,
there is a huge funding gap for

a3ad5dac-2982-4cfe-8ccd-de47bd527524-1
00:00:36.297 --> 00:00:40.510
sustainable technologies,
which presents both a challenge and an

a3ad5dac-2982-4cfe-8ccd-de47bd527524-2
00:00:40.510 --> 00:00:42.520
opportunity for transformation.

345b0185-486e-49c2-b1b4-97461b04cfb0-0
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.800
This is where we think we can add the
most value.

36205bc5-1043-47ed-bf96-03be501e76f0-0
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:53.580
And in terms of the Stand out initiative,
one that we're most part of right now is

36205bc5-1043-47ed-bf96-03be501e76f0-1
00:00:53.580 --> 00:01:00.044
in the marine sector where we are
actually tackling the issue of marine oil

36205bc5-1043-47ed-bf96-03be501e76f0-2
00:01:00.044 --> 00:01:00.640
sludge.

472a69a2-5cee-423d-be06-c1e4e2adcc2a-0
00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:06.110
It poses a serious threat to our marine
life and it has been notoriously

472a69a2-5cee-423d-be06-c1e4e2adcc2a-1
00:01:06.110 --> 00:01:08.280
difficult to manage in the past.

66f33635-399f-4ef7-843c-b3b68495936f-0
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:14.404
So our investment in a pioneering company
led to the development of a solution that

66f33635-399f-4ef7-843c-b3b68495936f-1
00:01:14.404 --> 00:01:17.160
converts this waste into new marine fuel.

7daeca6c-48a9-4367-a4e5-52c36b77feab-0
00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:22.378
We believe this is a true drop in
solution that can significantly improve

7daeca6c-48a9-4367-a4e5-52c36b77feab-1
00:01:22.378 --> 00:01:27.566
the carbon footprints across the whole
marine industry while also creating new

7daeca6c-48a9-4367-a4e5-52c36b77feab-2
00:01:27.566 --> 00:01:31.440
business opportunities and power local
communities and Dr.

9de839f9-a595-42a6-a81d-cd858ad90de0-0
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.880
job creation.

ac9f78e2-f6a0-49d0-9541-b5c4a0c5483b-0
00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:34.640
Great.

9f986c62-4163-469c-83d2-1b799fb7882e-0
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.942
So what do you think is the biggest
challenge right now in terms of the

9f986c62-4163-469c-83d2-1b799fb7882e-1
00:01:38.942 --> 00:01:39.600
transition?

d8b29b27-2e86-4a6c-ba0c-cee61cb706f8-0
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:45.165
And if you can think about one bold
action that a company could take or that

d8b29b27-2e86-4a6c-ba0c-cee61cb706f8-1
00:01:45.165 --> 00:01:50.480
investor should take or policy makers
should take, what would that action be?

2dade029-df6c-44be-bd75-e40f0aff7b26-0
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:50.840
Yeah.

07be4c34-d19d-424d-8545-ce6cd7ab0d13-0
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:59.449
I would see the bigger challenge that we
see mostly from the entrenched force of

07be4c34-d19d-424d-8545-ce6cd7ab0d13-1
00:01:59.449 --> 00:02:04.704
fuse interest and assisting
infrastructure that supports them and

07be4c34-d19d-424d-8545-ce6cd7ab0d13-2
00:02:04.704 --> 00:02:11.074
because of the political resistance and
regulatory frameworks that often favour

07be4c34-d19d-424d-8545-ce6cd7ab0d13-3
00:02:11.074 --> 00:02:16.807
the traditional energy resources that
also create an inertia investment

07be4c34-d19d-424d-8545-ce6cd7ab0d13-4
00:02:16.807 --> 00:02:18.480
patterns that we see.

c8e5b39e-a508-4984-8d0a-3ea49257c93f-0
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:25.086
So to truly accelerate the transition to
a sustainable, more sustainable economy,

c8e5b39e-a508-4984-8d0a-3ea49257c93f-1
00:02:25.086 --> 00:02:31.099
I believe we must embrace the breaks or
technologies that enhance sustainability

c8e5b39e-a508-4984-8d0a-3ea49257c93f-2
00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:33.920
while remaining financially rewarding.

363cf3e6-9b0f-4266-a98c-b96627896d60-0
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:39.435
And because of that,
we believe that or I believe that

363cf3e6-9b0f-4266-a98c-b96627896d60-1
00:02:39.435 --> 00:02:43.613
companies,
investors and policy makers should

363cf3e6-9b0f-4266-a98c-b96627896d60-2
00:02:43.613 --> 00:02:46.520
prioritize 3 bold actions items.

c566b6e4-d5ad-437a-a652-2d64e08fde61-0
00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:52.200
And the first one is mobilizing
investment for adoption.

f598364c-ef46-44bb-944a-3b0bbda96ff3-0
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:57.368
We have seen enough technologies that are
ready to be deployed,

f598364c-ef46-44bb-944a-3b0bbda96ff3-1
00:02:57.368 --> 00:03:01.360
but there are not enough investment in
this space.

a38569ef-3a68-495e-94a2-56699dd2650c-0
00:03:01.880 --> 00:03:07.274
So the innovation technologies are ready,
such as energy storage solutions,

a38569ef-3a68-495e-94a2-56699dd2650c-1
00:03:07.274 --> 00:03:11.320
carving capture and utilization,
and cleaner fuel cells.

17f4686a-edba-4926-a1d0-33bc03f47f02-0
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.892
They are already out there and it is
essential for us to make this technology

17f4686a-edba-4926-a1d0-33bc03f47f02-1
00:03:15.892 --> 00:03:18.920
accessible and financially attractive for
businesses.

8c7b4857-fe5e-4c6e-a062-22d780ffbf6e-0
00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:24.305
So not only will they make money from it,
but we're also driving towards a greener

8c7b4857-fe5e-4c6e-a062-22d780ffbf6e-1
00:03:24.305 --> 00:03:24.760
future.

5ce44655-cbbe-4603-afdd-6a11279a11c0-0
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.272
And then the second one is the policy
makers could make it make the regulatory

5ce44655-cbbe-4603-afdd-6a11279a11c0-1
00:03:30.272 --> 00:03:33.017
framework to be a little bit more
attractive,

5ce44655-cbbe-4603-afdd-6a11279a11c0-2
00:03:33.017 --> 00:03:37.610
which they can create incentive for
adopting this bricks of technologies and

5ce44655-cbbe-4603-afdd-6a11279a11c0-3
00:03:37.610 --> 00:03:39.520
phase out fossil fuel subsidies.

4e97b89c-3d66-4870-b6e2-cf74497469d5-0
00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:45.571
And that will create a clear pathway for
companies to transition to a more

4e97b89c-3d66-4870-b6e2-cf74497469d5-1
00:03:45.571 --> 00:03:49.923
sustainable practices,
which is essential for driving real

4e97b89c-3d66-4870-b6e2-cf74497469d5-2
00:03:49.923 --> 00:03:50.440
change.

007eed4c-da3c-422d-b455-2fc36e352298-0
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:54.800
And the third one,
it's encouraging collaboration.

251b378f-3c60-4552-bb1e-5f7fb60aafff-0
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.974
The public and the private sectors should
work together to accelerate the

251b378f-3c60-4552-bb1e-5f7fb60aafff-1
00:03:59.974 --> 00:04:04.520
deployment of these technologies by
sharing risks and resources.

13457e3a-fae4-40e1-887f-5c757146cb4b-0
00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:09.215
So you probably don't have a ton of time
to be doing outside reading and and and

13457e3a-fae4-40e1-887f-5c757146cb4b-1
00:04:09.215 --> 00:04:11.965
whatnot,
but I'd love to know whether you've read

13457e3a-fae4-40e1-887f-5c757146cb4b-2
00:04:11.965 --> 00:04:16.310
something recently or watched something
recently that has had an impact on you

13457e3a-fae4-40e1-887f-5c757146cb4b-3
00:04:16.310 --> 00:04:18.400
that you would recommend to to others.

2d4eabfa-c8a0-4bcc-8c4c-e31fd897130c-0
00:04:18.960 --> 00:04:22.563
Yeah,
So I was very inspired by a book John by

2d4eabfa-c8a0-4bcc-8c4c-e31fd897130c-1
00:04:22.563 --> 00:04:23.560
John Hickles.

7277d4ce-8e76-4e2a-b65f-5e5e8643d118-0
00:04:24.200 --> 00:04:29.782
The title is less is more and that make
me believe that we must rethink our

7277d4ce-8e76-4e2a-b65f-5e5e8643d118-1
00:04:29.782 --> 00:04:32.720
relationship with consumption and waste.

2becb854-183a-4242-8784-8dfbfc42c4f0-0
00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:39.789
So turning waste into new resources is
pivotal to embody the philosophy of less

2becb854-183a-4242-8784-8dfbfc42c4f0-1
00:04:39.789 --> 00:04:40.440
is more.

94a49816-259d-4947-ba39-fa122f981850-0
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.888
So by transforming what we consider waste
into more valuable materials that can

94a49816-259d-4947-ba39-fa122f981850-1
00:04:46.888 --> 00:04:52.440
help us reduce our environmental
footprint but also create new economic

94a49816-259d-4947-ba39-fa122f981850-2
00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:53.520
opportunities.

5844d73f-026c-4b0b-887e-aa54553f1df4-0
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.164
This is a new circular economy that
values resourceful resources and

5844d73f-026c-4b0b-887e-aa54553f1df4-1
00:04:59.164 --> 00:05:05.240
sustainability altogether and turning
challenges into opportunities as well.

56640f2e-0a6f-4f97-b1c2-a3d209f60f93-0
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.001
Great,
Thank you so much and thank you so much

56640f2e-0a6f-4f97-b1c2-a3d209f60f93-1
00:05:09.001 --> 00:05:12.991
for being such an inspiration for,
for everyone with all the work that

56640f2e-0a6f-4f97-b1c2-a3d209f60f93-2
00:05:12.991 --> 00:05:15.240
you've been doing and, and best of luck.

44f1b7c2-d71b-4042-b31e-7b30bc349efc-0
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:16.000
Thank you.
