Talk Energy with YES-Europe YES-Europe

In this episode we Talk Energy with Gill Scheltjens, the CEO of D-CRBN. An innovative start-up that recycles CO2 emissions to divide it into CO and O2, that has many other uses in other businesses, like fuels, polymers and other chemicals. Starting a closed cycle of CO2 emissions into various industries. 

With an astonishing goal to recycle 1 million tonnes of CO2 per industrial installation, D-CRBN surely stands among the companies whose technology would enable us to make a positive difference on this planet

Come find out more about this process, their technology and what it takes to innovate at this level.

Join us as we dive into the world of clean technology with Enerdrape. In this episode of “Talk Energy with YES-Europe”, we explore how they manage to capture thermal energy from the ground without drilling it. Discover how Enerdrape is unlocking the energy potential in untapped environments and providing sustainable solutions for cities and urban areas. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation with the CEO/Founder of Enerdrape, Margaux Peltier!

A worldwide shift to renewables requires a global storage capacity of more than 15,000 TWh in 2050!!! Kraft Block is taking this problem and ran with it. They figured that Industrial Waste Heat is also a type of renewable energy. However, it is currently released into the atmosphere unused for the most part, or sometimes even cooled down at great expense. Kraftblock's storage solutions make waste heat directly usable in the industry and enable the efficient storage of renewable energy. Additionally, unlike wind and solar energy, waste heat can be calculated and controlled and is already available! In Germany alone, the calculated unused potential energy from waste heat is 280 TWh per year. Globally, that number is a lot higher.

In this Episode we dive in first into this technology and figure out how they made all this possible with their CEO and Founder Martin Schichtel.

In our new podcast episode of “Talk Energy with YES-Europe”, we interviewed Andrew Gillis, the CEO of Aurora Hydrogen.  Aurora Hydrogen is at the forefront of developing innovative technology that employs microwave energy to heat natural gas (methane) through a process called pyrolysis. This process produces hydrogen and solid carbon without releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In this way, hydrogen can be produced in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner.

In this episode, we chatted with Sam Kanner, the CEO of Aikido Technologies on how he plans to advance our sustainable future with their exciting floating offshore wind technologies.

Sam Kanner joins Breakthrough Energy’s Innovator Fellows program from Aikido Technologies in San Francisco, California.He has been interested in ocean renewable energy since high school and has spent his career working in early-stage wind technology and innovation. At Aikido Technologies, Sam and his team are developing a self-erecting platform for floating, offshore wind turbines to overcome key barriers to increasing offshore wind energy production.

Aikido Technologies has designed a self-erecting platform for floating, offshore wind turbines. Their novel system integrates the platform and turbine into a fully assembled unit that can be transported horizontally and is narrow enough to access 80% of ports in the U.S. Once in place, a simple ballasting procedure upends the platform into operational configuration. Through the Fellows program, Aikido Technologies hopes to deploy their first open ocean pilot project.

Sam completed his Bachelor of Arts in Physics and Geology at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. He earned a Master of Science and a Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical and Ocean Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley.
