About this listen

This podcast begins by discussing the different types of hydropower and considers the carbon and methane emissions of larger hydro power projects. We then discuss hydro's taxonomy and financing, grid capacity/ smart grids and think about what policy is needed to make it possible to sell hydro locally.
