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!
