On our fourth episode of Two Pence Worth: Stories from female Founders in Climate, I spoke to Sioned Owen: Founder and Chief Product Officer at Unbound Energy.
Sioned is passionate about enabling carbon removal and reduction strategies. She discovered there's enough roof space in the UK to service all our energy needs with solar energy. So, she founded Unbound Energy to enable this. They're currently working with landlords and tenants to break down the barriers surrounding the 'landlord-tenant' paradox of 'who pays' to 'you don't need to pay'.
