Carbon Copy is a show about the technology, engineering and economics of a low carbon future. Join ERA as we dive into the topics and technology innovations that are critical to delivering sustainable environmental outcomes, attracting investment, and building a diversified, lower carbon economy. Carbon Copy, a new podcast from ERA, takes a closer look at the technologies and people that will change our climate impact and help reshape Alberta’s economy.
A hydrogen locomotive is running in Lethbridge; you'll want the receipts on reliability and cost.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A clear look at how AI, electrification, and geopolitics are pushing clean-tech investment toward harder commercial questions.
Clean-tech investing is no longer playing like a small gold rush. Carbon Copy tracks its turn into a geopolitical contest, with Justin Reamer of Emissions Reduction Alberta speaking with energy economist Peter Terzakian about the pressures now shaping the field.
A grounded look at how Alberta satellite technology could turn invisible signals into wildfire, emissions, and resource intelligence.
Carbon Copy treats satellite imagery as the first step in a broader change: hyperspectral sensors can pick up signals people cannot see, then translate them into useful data for agriculture, forestry, and emissions management.
A practical look at getting proven methane-reduction technology past pilots and into wider deployment.
Carbon Copy takes up a familiar climate-tech bottleneck in Alberta: operators may have methane-reduction tools within reach, but uncertainty around regulation and access to capital can leave deployment stalled in pilots.
A practical look at hydrogen rail as CPKC tests real-world service and future scale.
The episode tracks CPKC's hydrogen locomotive program as it moves from Alberta-backed ambition into round-the-clock service in Lethbridge. Its strength is the practical setting: a fuel cell and battery system, ERA funding, remote monitoring, and Air Products' local hydrogen…
A grounded look at how Quest helped push CCS from early commercial-scale project toward larger infrastructure.
Carbon Copy follows carbon capture and storage from Shell's Quest facility in Alberta into a wider buildout of pipelines, ships, deep storage, Polaris, and Northern Lights.
Specialists walking through software's tradeoffs, one system at a time.
Founders and engineers on AI coding agents like Claude Code, and supply chain security.
Carbon Copy Episode 44 tracks how the clean-tech investment climate has shifted from the 2022-era IRA boom to a 2026 market driven by AI, electrification, and geopolitics.
Wyvern co-founder Curtis Broda says hyperspectral satellites can make crop stress, wildfire risk, and methane leaks visible from orbit.
Emissions Reduction Alberta's MRDP puts $22.4 million from the TIER program behind proven methane-reduction technologies and targets 20% emissions cuts.
Carbon Copy Episode 41 follows CPKC's hydrogen locomotive program in Alberta, where Kyle Mulligan says diesel-electric freight units are being converted to hydrogen fuel cell and battery power.
Bernhard Koudelka, Shell’s Vice President of Carbon Capture and Storage, lays out how Shell uses CCS across Scope 1 emissions, customer abatement, lower-carbon fuels, and carbon dioxide removals.
This episode introduces the Strategic Energy Management for Industry (SEMI) program, which helps Alberta's industrial facilities reduce energy use and emissions through tailored support and incentives.
This episode explores carbon dioxide removal technologies and the economic incentives behind CDR credits, highlighting the BECCS Leadership Summit and a partnership with pulp and paper mills.
This episode explores how automation technology in industrial settings can reduce emissions, featuring an interview with Spartan Controls leaders.
