    Hubert Put: Navigating Markets, Policy, and Leadership

    In this episode of InnoStation, we sit down with Hubert Put, Senior Energy Consultant at Montel and InnoEnergy Master+ graduate, to unpack what it actually takes to build a career across Europe's energy markets. Meryem and Hubert trace his path from a chemical engineering background and a thesis on biomass liquefaction to advising on wholesale markets, balancing markets, PPAs, and regulatory strategy — work that has taken him across Poland, Portugal, the UK, and Germany. The conversation moves from how energy markets actually function to the less visible forces shaping them: where policy and market design pull against each other, why connecting engineers, economists, policymakers, and investors is becoming a rare but critical skill, and what really separates good analysts from great ones. The episode also looks at leadership through the lens of InnoEnergy's Road to the C-Suite programme — what it gave Hubert, what he brought into it — and why he believes the energy transition's real bottleneck isn't technology (95% of it already exists) but the market design and governance choices that decide how it gets used. Tune in for a grounded look at how energy markets really work, and what it takes to grow from analyst to decision-maker in the energy transition. InnoStation Podcast: Instagram LinkedIn

    Andrey Sevryukov: Building the Next Generation of Energy Innovators

    In this episode of InnoStation, we explore what it really takes to prepare the next generation of professionals for the energy transition, and why future energy leaders will need far more than technical expertise alone. Meryem dives into how the energy sector is rapidly evolving through artificial intelligence, digitalisation, entrepreneurship, and systems thinking, and why education must evolve alongside it. The conversation explores the growing gap between traditional engineering pathways and the real-world challenges shaping modern energy systems, where interdisciplinary thinking, adaptability, and innovation are becoming just as important as technical knowledge. The episode also looks at how initiatives like AI4GreenDeal are helping reshape sustainable energy education by combining advanced energy systems, AI, data science, and industry collaboration into more practical, future-oriented learning models. Together, the discussion highlights why hybrid skillsets, continuous upskilling, and real-world problem solving are becoming essential for students and professionals entering the sector today. Tune in for a forward-looking conversation on education, innovation, and the mindset needed to build impactful careers in the future of energy. InnoStation Podcast: Instagram LinkedIn

    Asfand Yar Munir: From InnoEnergy Student to Sustainability Expert Shaping the Energy Industry

    In this episode of InnoStation, our guest is Asfand, an InnoEnergy Master’s alumnus in Renewable Energy who now works in Life Cycle Assessment and sustainability at Holcim, one of the world’s largest construction materials companies.  Meryem and Asfand unpack what sustainability work looks like inside heavy industry, and what it really takes to go from an international student profile to landing a role in a technically complex sector under pressure to decarbonise. Together, they talk through the decisions many students are facing right now: which specialisation matters, how to choose countries and universities strategically, and how to build a profile that translates into real roles after graduation. The conversation then moves into Asfand’s day to day work in LCA and Environmental Product Declarations, including how impact is measured and reported in construction materials, where the real emissions hotspots sit in cement and concrete, and why regulation is making environmental assessment increasingly non optional in the European market.  Tune in for a practical, honest episode on careers, persistence, and what it means to build a sustainability path inside industry, with clear advice for current students and early career professionals.

    Alex Berezhnoy: Designing Bankable Energy Storage

    In this episode of InnoStation, our guest is Alex Berezhnoy, InnoEnergy alumnus and Founder of StoreNow Energy Platform. Meryem and Alex explore what it really takes to turn energy storage from a promising technology into a bankable infrastructure asset. Moving beyond technical performance, Alex explains why financing, revenue uncertainty, and market complexity often decide whether battery projects get built at all, and how storage is increasingly becoming a market participant rather than just hardware. The conversation dives into the realities of building storage projects in Europe today, from volatile prices and changing regulations to investor expectations and risk. Alex shares how his own journey from engineering to entrepreneurship led him to build StoreNow as a platform that helps developers simulate, optimise, and financially validate storage projects early, so they are investable by design. Tune in for a grounded look at storage, markets, and the founder mindset needed to build tools that accelerate the energy transition. InnoStation Podcast: Instagram LinkedIn

    Mika Järvinen: Designing Energy within Planetary Boundaries

    In this episode of InnoStation, our guest is Professor Mika Järvinen from Aalto University, Head of the Energy Conversion System Group and Director of the Aalto Hydrogen Innovation Centre. Mika is also the co-author of the open access book Renewable Energy Engineering within Planetary Boundaries.  Meryem (our host) and Mika explore what it really means to design renewable energy systems in a world with ecological limits. Moving beyond buzzwords, Mika explains how planetary boundaries change engineering priorities, from land use and material constraints to efficiency and long-term system impacts. He also shares how a multidisciplinary career across industries shaped his systems mindset, and why strong fundamentals still matter for solving complex energy challenges.  The conversation closes with a grounded view on hydrogen and carbon capture, where they truly add value, where they are oversold, and what responsible innovation should look like for the next generation of engineers.  Tune in to rethink what “sustainable” really means, and what it demands from energy engineering.  InnoStation Podcast: Instagram LinkedIn

    Novatron: Infinite clean energy through fusion power

    In this episode of InnoStation, our guest is Eric Odén, co-founder and Executive Chairman of Novatron Fusion Group. Eric has co-funded and scaled multiple deep-tech startups, and has great experience in leading challenging technology development. His most recent venture, Novatron, is addressing one of humanity’s most complex challenges: commercializing nuclear fusion energy. Novatron’s innovative design relies on a magnetic mirror system that stabilizes plasma using a concave magnetic field—a fundamental departure from traditional tokamaks and stellarators. This method, inspired by decades of fusion research, overcomes critical challenges like plasma turbulence, making fusion more attainable and scalable than ever before.  In our conversation, we discuss the science behind fusion, why Novatron’s approach is different, and the real-world implications of harnessing a near-limitless energy source. Eric also highlights Novatron’s ambitious roadmap, including the development of NOVATRON 1, their first test facility at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and shares how Novatron is collaborating with EIT InnoEnergy and leading scientists worldwide to overcome fusion’s toughest engineering challenges. Tune in to discover how Novatron is turning nuclear fusion from theory to reality! InnoStation Podcast: Instagram LinkedIn
