    Hidden Energy Treasures: Mine Storage, part 2 with Christopher Engman

    Welcome to the Evolution Show!   Hope you are great!   This is podast version of Evolution Show on Youtube! See video version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwa4rkSFiLU Today I continue my conversation with my really inspiring guest Christopher Engman talking about a brilliant way to store energy using old mines!  Engman is founder and chairman of the Swedish startup Mine Storage.    In part 1 we talked about how the Mine Storage technology works so check it out by following the link below if you that if you haven´t already!    Mine Storage is getting more and more attention and has come a far way and is now cooperating with utilities and grid providers to make use of old mines and turning them into large energy storage facilities using pump storage hydro.  This is a technolgy that is proven and that can be very useful to help store energy from wind and solar and provide it to the grid when needed!     I hope you like the episoode!  And don´t miss next week´s episode where a world leading pioneering in hydrogen technology for housing and buildings share how he and his wife built a 500 square meter house, totally off grid! The house is running completely on solar energy combined with hydrogen storage! Two fully loaded episodes with Hans-Olof Nilsson is coming up!     To support the Evolution Show, give the videos a thumbs up and consider subscribing!    Cheers!

  4. How Container Ships soon will run on batteries! Zen Ocean´s Pioneering Oceanic Container shipping!

    How Container Ships soon will run on batteries! Zen Ocean´s Pioneering Oceanic Container shipping!

    Welcome to the Evolution Show!   Hope you are great!  Link to video version of this episode on Evolution Show on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnHQCC2YH4E I´m back after a longer break finalizing the construction drawings and plans for my really cool energy house that I hope to built in 2023!   But now I´m back with something that really excites me and that I hope can inspire others, a fully loaded episode about electric container ships!   Imagine large container ships leaving for example Oslo in Norway heading for Rotterdam with 1000 containers onboard but where 15 of the containers are fully packed with Lithum Iron Phosphate (LFP batteries) to run the whole ship with about 100 MWH of energy to take the ship more than 500 nautical miles before charging!    Well dream no more! Join me for this years Christmas/Special Holiday episode -where I´m joined by the Norwegian company ZEN OCEANS´s CEO and founder Fridtjof Camillo Eitzen!   Fridtjof is a fifth generation oceanic shipper with about 140 years of oceanic shipping experience in his family´s cargo! He shares not only how it can be done but how Zen Oceans are working to make it a reality with today´s battery technology and clever logistics planning and why he is convinced that it can be economically viable and in parity or well, even better than diesel/conventional container ships are today!   Now an idea I have is this: Imagine combining this with Einride´s autonomous heavy electric trucks/Pods without a cabin! Einride´s pods could be delivering fully loaded containers with Christmas presents (or even better: food items!) to large container terminals at harbour hubs such as Rotterdam in the Netherlands, where they can be loaded onto fully electric container ships such as the one´s Zen Oceans are developing (and yes in the future fully autonomous too!).   I mean, how cool and indeed game changing wouldn´t that be!? That is the future we should aim for!   More on Einride is coming up on the Evolution Show so stay tuned!  I wish everybody a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and a Happy new 2023, let´s make it great and inspirational and take another small step to make this amazing Planet great again!    Cheers, Johan Landgren, host of the Evolution Show   Links for this episode:   About Zen Oceans: zenoceans.com   Previous episode about the world´s largest sailing ship for freight, the Oceanbird vessel, a talk with the CEO of AlfaWal Oceanbird:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WmwX5W_l5k    Previous Christmas special 2022, an episode with the super solar dude and inventor Ron Swenson:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrPDXnS-qjc  The team behind the Evolution Show:    Producer and host: Johan Landgren   Studio technician: Gustav Andersson   Music for animation: Alexander Sparf - roding.bandcamp.com

  7. How Solar Energy collectors will change the game -my talk with Absolicon CEO Joakim Byström

    How Solar Energy collectors will change the game -my talk with Absolicon CEO Joakim Byström

    Welcome to the Evolution Show!   This is the podcast version, for video check out Evolution Show on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRZFTtHELIQ With a security and humaniatarian crisis in Ukraine my thoughts are with the Ukrainian people!  The crisis has also revealed Europe´s unsustainable dependance on fossil fuels, especially oil and natural gas.   BUT there is still hope!!  Today more than 50 % of the energy use (globally and in Europe) comes from heating our buildings and industries but most of it is wasted heat and comes from burning fossil fuels. Yet there is a solar technology ready today to harvest the heat from the sun much more efficiently, with much less energy lost and no emissions!   In today´s episode on the Evolution Show I talk with Joakim Byström, the CEO and founder of Absolicon,  a world leader in solar collectors with an efficiency of 74 %!     We talk about what makes these collectors so useful and how these solar collectors already are combined with energy storage in Denmark where the excess heat from hot summer is stored in huge water containers in the ground, storing enough heat to meet the demand for large communities even cities a whole winter!  We also talk about how Absolicon´s solar collectors are being used at the world´s largest desalination plant in Saudi Arabia and at several other industrial facilities. I hope you like the episode!  Tell me what you think about Absolion´s solar collectors or other smart ways to store heat using renewable tech, in the comments section below!  If you like the Evolution Show, we really appreciate a thumbs up and consider subscribing!       Links Previous episodes with Absolicon´s CEO and founder Joakim Byström, in my studio:   Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql-7a6uSWpk&t Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc5Hp383jJ0&t Part 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie8MSu0nMZU&t Absolicon´s site www.absolicon.com/   Heliogen: www.heliogen.com/   Team behind Evolution Show:   Producer and host:  Johan Landgren Studio technician:  Gustav Andersson Studio technician:  Hannes Anagrius Music for animation: Alexander Sparf - roding.bandcamp.com
