  • How Travalyst is transforming tourism through data-driven collaboration
    In this episode, we speak with Sally Davey, CEO of Travalyst. Founded in 2019 by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, Travalyst is a not-for-profit coalition that brings together leading companies from the travel and technology sectors. Davey shares insights into Travalyst’s mission and its impact on making tourism more sustainable through collaborative data initiatives. She discusses:How Travalyst has united competing travel giants like Google, Booking.com, and Expedia to work together on sustainability, creating a coalition with a market worth of nearly $3 trillion that shares data and standards non-competitively.The critical role of data in driving change. Travalyst aims to create consistent, accessible sustainability metrics across the travel industry.How the Travel Impact Model (TIM) has powered over 65 billion flight searches worldwide, helping travellers make informed decisions about their carbon footprint when booking flights. The model is open-source and freely available to all industry players.Travalyst’s expansion into accommodation sustainability through their Data Hub initiative, which tracks 60 attributes across 6 environmental and social categories, and their certification program that has validated 49 sustainability standards.Their vision for regenerative tourism that goes beyond reducing negative impacts to actively benefiting local communities, preserving cultural heritage, and enhancing environmental conservation.Throughout the conversation, Davey emphasises the importance of balancing environmental and economic sustainability, the power of industry collaboration, and how data-driven decisions can transform tourism into a force for good. If you LOVED this episode, you’ll also love the conversation we had with Sebnem Erzan, Global Head of Travel Sustainability & Transport at Google, who shares the tech giant’s vision for sustainable travel.

  • How Climeworks is making Direct Air Capture a viable decarbonisation pathway
    In this episode, we speak with Dr. Christoph Gebald, co-founder and co-CEO of Climeworks, one of the world’s leading direct air capture (DAC) companies. Gebald shares insights into Climeworks’ journey and vision for the future, and the crucial role of carbon removal in achieving sustainable aviation.He discusses:How their direct air capture technology (DAC) removes CO2 from the atmosphere and stores it permanently underground through mineralisation. Climeworks has achieved a significant technological breakthrough with their Generation 3 technology, which doubles CO2 capture capacity per module while halving energy consumption, making it increasingly cost-competitive.Climeworks’ notable partnerships with major airlines including SWISS, Lufthansa, and British Airways.Climeworks’ second commercial direct air capture and storage plant Mammoth, which opened in 2024 in Iceland. The facility is designed to capture up to 36,000 tons of CO2 annually once fully operational and is the world’s largest DAC facility.Climeworks Solutions, which offers a portfolio approach to carbon removal that combines their DAC with other methods like biochar and afforestation, meeting clients’ needs for diversified climate action strategies.Throughout the conversation, Gebald emphasises the complementary nature of different climate solutions, the importance of both technological and natural approaches, and his optimism about consumer demand driving sustainable aviation. If you LOVED this episode, you’ll also love the conversation we had with Anna Stukas, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at 1PointFive, who discusses DAC’s crucial role in aviation’s path to net zero.
