The demand for clean and reliable energy is skyrocketing. As we transition to renewable sources, electrify vehicles and aircraft, and face increasing pressure from stakeholders to adopt more sustainable practices, our aging grid is under immense strain and pushing companies to explore new frontiers in the industry. Our experts will discuss how Eaton collaborates with governments on grants and innovation, and the crucial role government research and innovation teams play in advancing essential technologies. 

The energy transition is driving the need for a more resilient and sustainable infrastructure and the U.S. government is investing heavily to enable this shift. With the passage of several acts, there are unprecedented opportunities—through direct funds, grants, tax credits, tax incentives and rebates— for organizations to maximize the return on investment of critical infrastructure and clean energy projects.

In the dynamic landscape of Industry 4.0, additive manufacturing emerges as a game-changer for manufacturers. This groundbreaking technology transcends the limitations of traditional processes, enabling us to create product geometries that were once considered not manufacturable. In this episode, we are joined by Eric Johnson, senior manager of additive manufacturing at Eaton Research Labs, and Cameron Peahl, manager of Eaton’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence to talk about how this technology has changed how products and tooling are designed and manufactured.

As the aerospace industry works toward net-zero emissions by 2050, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is one of the most promising pathways to success. But despite the latest progress, the widespread adoption of SAF faces significant challenges. So, what’s ahead for the alternative fuel option?In this episode, our Aerospace Group’s Steve Sipprell, director of next-generation air dominance systems, and Jeff Skinner, director of engineering, answer the top questions about SAF and discuss how it impacts overall decarbonization efforts.

The circular economy model has evolved quite significantly in the last 5 years, but the reality is a bit more challenging and the speed at which our economy is evolving isn’t moving fast enough. Today we will be speaking with Jean Miyeli, EMEA segment & sustainability strategy director, and Delphine Clement, energy transition sales direction, about how can we unlock these challenges and ultimately, shift our mindsets from an economic model that is linear to one that is infinite and circular.  

The shift toward electrification to accelerate decarbonization efforts is increasing energy demand and putting considerable strain on the grid. Now more than ever we need a more flexible and resilient power infrastructure to keep the power on when it matters. In this episode, we are joined by Joe Capetta, director of technical applications – energy transition and Greta Foster, product line manager of microgrids & distributed energy resource systems, to talk about how leveraging microgrids can bolster energy resilience while lowering carbon emissions.  

The transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon future is accelerating and the impact is being felt by electric utilities worldwide. Today, we’ll be speaking with Jonathan Giraldeau, product line manager for Eaton’s CYME power engineering and analysis software, part of Eaton’s Brightlayer Utilities suite, and Syed Rizvi, regional sales manager, EMEA, about the challenges key trends are creating for utilities and how they are responding to the increased demands they now face.
