In this episode,  we are joined by Christophe Williams, Founder and CEO of Naked Energy who shares his unique journey from the advertising industry to founding a clean tech company focused on solar heat and power. Inspired by his grandfather’s pioneering work in alternative energy, Christophe has blended creativity with innovation to tackle one of the most overlooked challenges in the energy transition: decarbonising industrial heat.

 

Naked Energy’s groundbreaking hybrid solar thermal collectors combine electricity and heat in a space-efficient design, offering a cost-effective alternative to gas-fired boilers. With over 130 projects completed across nine countries, the company is pioneering a new business model— Heat-as-a-Service—that reduces upfront capital costs and delivers measurable energy savings. 

 

In this conversation, Christophe explores key topics including:

  • The crucial role of decarbonising heat to achieve net-zero emissions, with heat demand accounting for 40% of global CO₂ emissions.
  • How Naked Energy’s solar thermal technology complements heat pumps, lowering energy costs and improving efficiency.
  • The evolution of the clean tech sector through innovative projects and strategic partnerships.
  • The barriers to market adoption, including the need for education, awareness, and supportive policies.
  • The promising future of solar thermal energy in various sectors, from hospitality to industrial applications.

 

Join us for an in-depth discussion on sustainability, innovation, and the future of renewable energy as Naked Energy leads the way in transforming industrial heat.

 

Thanks again, Christophe!
