Green Tech South West will welcome Vanessa Champniss, co-founder of Greener Hours, to talk about her mission to help people use energy when it's cleanest.
The Greener Hours app provides a personalised and real-time carbon energy forecast, that empowers people to chose to use electricity in their home when it's cleanest. As the energy that flows into our homes every day is from a complex mix of sources that changes moment by moment, the information provided by the Greener Hours app means we can make an informed choice to switch appliances on and use electricity at times that we now know are best for the planet, whatever type of electricity tarrif we are on.
This talk will also explain how mass-scale mainstream behaviour change is needed to deliver on the UK's commitment to being carbon-neutral in its energy mix. To meet this goal, we need more than just tech solutions.
What’s needed is a focus on understanding and shaping behaviour and using behavioural science in our approach to the climate crisis. In this talk Vanessa will present an argument that says the only thing that truly disrupts markets is behaviour.
