The 1895 Podcast

The exhibition hall at gasworld's European CO2 Summit 2026 is the location for the latest episode of The 1895 Podcast and we're joined by David Hurren of DAH Renewable Consultancy and David Christopherson of Future Biogas.

Recording as the event is being set up around us, we discuss how shifting energy dynamics and geopolitical tensions are influencing CO2 supply security across the region.

We look into the evolving CO2 landscape, from ammonia-linked supply risks and LNG dependence, to the growing role of anaerobic digestion and biogenic CO2.

In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, we react to the breaking news of Ras Laffan Industrial City being hit in a new wave of attacks from Iran.

We take a look at what we know so far and what it could mean for helium and LNG.

In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, we are joined by Chris Huhne, former UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change and now Chairman of the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA).

We explore how the latest global energy tensions are reshaping energy security, renewable gas, and Europe’s long-term supply resilience. We discuss how Europe’s dependence on imported gas and LNG leaves the region exposed to geopolitical shocks, and why biomethane and anaerobic digestion are increasingly seen as strategic assets.

We also cover the role of biomethane in decarbonisation and agriculture, including how anaerobic digestion can produce bio-fertiliser, reducing the reliance on gas-intensive synthetic fertilisers.

In this episode of The 1895 Podcast we break down the latest financial results from the industrial gas majors, including Linde, Air Liquide and Air Products.

With full-year 2025 results now published alongside the latest quarterly updates, the discussion explores what the numbers reveal about the current state of the global industrial gases business.

The conversation explores where growth is still emerging, regional performance and the areas the reasoning behind any downturns.

Beyond the earnings discussion, we look at growing uncertainty in Europe’s merchant CO2 market, industry sentiment tracking, and the potential for tightening supply.

With geopolitical tensions rising and energy markets increasingly volatile, we consider what the latest results might signal for the months ahead and whether the sector’s steady performance could face new pressures as 2026 unfolds.

In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, we're joined by Megan Sutcliffe, Principal Analyst - MEA at Sibylline to discuss the current conflict in the Middle East.

We delve into the recent developments in the war, Iranian strategy to restrict oil and gas flow out of the Gulf, attacks on energy infrastructure, supply chain vulnerabilities, and de-escalation indicators.
