In 2016, Katerina Kimmorley was working in India with her solar energy social enterprise, Pollinate Energy, bringing real, tangible change to the lives of thousands of people living without electricity in India's urban slums.

So what brought her home after years away to the world of venture capital and renewable energy start-ups?

In this episode we hear about her journey to the helm of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation's Innovation Fund where she has a front row seat to Australia's energy revolution, and where she sees the future of renewables heading.

For more information on the work of the fund and the projects she mentions go to arena.gov.au/blog or cefc.com.au

Rewired is back for its biggest season yet.

In season four, we will hear how ARENA funding is helping to trial new ways of producing metals like steel and aluminium using renewable energy.

Experts will share progress commercialising technologies like renewable hydrogen and electric vehicles, which are finally achieving long-held potential.

And we will explore how Australia’s riches of wind and solar could unlock opportunities to undertake more energy-intensive processes onshore, creating jobs and wealth.

This is our most ambitious season to date, with twice as many episodes giving us the chance to showcase more of the ways Australia is unlocking a renewable energy future.

Australia is in the midst of an energy revolution and The Innovators wants to take you to the cutting edge of it.  It's a place of hydrogen-producing solar paint, of virtual power plants and energy cryptocurrencies.  It's a place of pure innovation and leadership, sparked by individuals with a renewable energy future in their sights and, often, extraordinary stories of their own to tell.  Yes, between the politics, the market and the consumer, there's a lot of noise distorting the energy debate right now.  We want to cut through that with stories of world-leading technology, bold ideas, the value of persistence and would you believe it, the motivating force of failure.  Hosted by Adam Morton, The Innovators is a six-part series and is the second of the Rewired podcasts powered by ARENA, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency.  Find out more at www.arena.gov.au/blog
