S2 Episode 13: Creating a road map to net zero emissions, with Muhammad Malik of NeuerEnergy

This is my latest conversation with a business in the 2021 cohort of the ‘AI for Social Impact Programme’ – which is a partnership between Social Tech Trust and Microsoft for Startups. who are supporting purpose driven ventures using technology to make a positive impact on people’s lives – hence why they are ideal partners for this podcast series. 

We’re continuing with the Sustainability theme this week – specifically helping companies and organisations to reduce their carbon footprint by simplifying and streamlining their net zero journey.

The drive towards net zero carbon emissions has gained a lot of momentum – with the pressure on governments and organisations to achieve ambitious targets, with companies under pressure from stakeholders, especially customers and prospective employees, not to mention from environmental regulation and taxes – there’s a massive cumulative incentive for business to have a strategy in place for removing as much carbon from the atmosphere as their activities are responsible for adding.

But the transition to renewable energy and the whole process of CO2 mitigation and removal in every area touched by a business seems anything but straightforward. That’s where technology comes in.

My guest is Muhammed Malik, founder and CEO of NeuerEnergy, a sustainable technology company whose exact mission is to simplify and streamline the net zero journey using their SaaS technology applications and platform.

Muhammad founded NeuerEnergy in 2019, as a spin off from Aqovia, a successful digital solutions business that he established in 2008. His background is in telecoms infrastructure, having grown up and studied in the US and moved to the UK with US telecoms company Sprint as their head of Network Engineering for the EMEA region.
