Capital in Transition is Carbon Tracker’s monthly podcast on the global reallocation of capital in the energy transition.

Hosted by Mark Campanale, Carbon Tracker’s CEO, and Harry Benham, Energy Advisor, each episode translates complex research into clear insight for investors, policymakers and industry leaders.

We track where money is flowing, which technologies are scaling, how geopolitics is reshaping deployment, and the implications for long-term strategy.

The transition may be technologically inevitable but capital markets still need incentives, clarity and bankable pathways to move at pace. Understanding what drives investment decisions is central to managing financial risk and identifying opportunity.

From time to time, Mark and Harry are joined by external guests and contributors.

  • Who Builds the Future? China and the new energy system
    Jun 22 2026

    If energy is becoming a manufactured system, then who builds that system matters. In Episode 4 of Capital in Transition, Harry Benham and Mark Campanale are joined again by Kingsmill Bond of Ember to examine where the ElectroTech build-out is happening and how this is shaping capital flows, industrial power and the future of the global economy.

    The conversation explores how China has established a leading position across key clean technology supply chains, from solar manufacturing and batteries to electric vehicles and grid infrastructure, and why that concentration matters for investors and policymakers alike.

  • The ElectroTech Revolution: Why this is an economic shift
    Jun 16 2026

    Is the energy transition simply about replacing one fuel source with another, or are we witnessing a deeper restructuring of the global economy?

    In Episode 3 of Capital in Transition, Harry Benham and Mark Campanale are joined by Kingsmill Bond of Ember to explore what he calls the “ElectroTech Revolution”, the shift from an energy system based on extracting and burning fuels to one built around manufactured technologies.

    The discussion examines how electrification, digitalisation and manufacturing cost curves are transforming energy from a commodity system into a technology system – with major implications for capital allocation, industrial strategy and financial markets.

  • The $4.5 Trillion Myth: What the transition really costs
    Jun 3 2026

    One figure has come to dominate discussions about financing the energy transition: $4.5 trillion per year. But what exactly does that figure represent, and does it accurately reflect the scale of the challenge facing capital markets?

    In Episode 2 of Capital in Transition, Mark Campanale and Harry Benham examine how headline transition investment estimates often combine fundamentally different categories of spending, from consumer EV purchases and grid infrastructure to early-stage technologies and long-duration industrial decarbonisation.

    The episode explores what sits behind the headline number and whether it provides an accurate picture of the investment needed to build the next energy system.
