Eugene Beh, founder and CEO of Quino Energy, sits down with our Host, Joe Batir. They discuss flow batteries and their applications in the energy storage industry. He explains that flow batteries are a type of battery that use two tanks of reactants to generate electricity. Unlike other batteries, flow batteries can be easily scaled up by increasing the size of the tanks, making them suitable for long-duration storage. However, the cost and supply chain limitations of traditional flow battery technologies, such as vanadium flow batteries, have hindered their widespread adoption. Quino Energy aims to address these challenges by developing flow batteries using organic molecules called Quinones, which are cheaper and more sustainable. Their technology is a drop-in replacement for vanadium flow batteries, making it easier for existing systems to transition to their solution. Quino Energy\’s flow batteries are particularly well-suited for mid-duration storage, ranging from 6 to 24 hours. Quino Energy is exploring the repurposing of old oil storage tanks for energy storage. They have found that their flow battery technology is chemically compatible with carbon steel tanks, making it a cost-effective and efficient solution. The US has enough tank storage space to store about four terawatt hours of Quino\’s electrolyte, providing a significant opportunity for energy storage. Repurposing existing infrastructure can save time and money on installation. The conversation also touches on the importance of electrifying the grid, decarbonizing transportation, and exploring other clean tech solutions.

In this episode, our host Joe Batir talks with Julie Beaudry, New Technology Manager from Flexcon. They discuss the mature but evolving process of roll – to – roll manufacturing and cover the vital roll this process plays in modern life.
Many everyday use items are manufactured through some type of lamination or roll – to – roll process, including phone screens, car interiors, aerospace industry components, and labels. Important to the energy transition, this process is used to create PEMs, components for PV panels, and batteries. While this is just one step in the processing of renewable energy technologies, this conversation points out the need to look at the entire supply chain while we work towards a net zero society.

This week our host Joe Batir talks with Hassane Kassouf, Head of Energy Innovation Programs at Amazon Web Services (AWS), about the Clean Energy Accelerator 2.0. As we see the world wanting to move more towards clean energy, the challenges in clean energy implementation become apparent. These challenges are best solved through collaboration, but often times start-ups only have a limited network of mentors and resources to overcome their respective challenges. Big energy organizations can also learn from startups and entrepreneurs how to integrate a startup innovation strategy. This is why AWS Energy started the clean energy accelerator, to facilitate and expedite solution development in the clean energy start-up space. On this episode, Joe and Hassane talk about the AWS culture of innovation, why AWS started the clean energy accelerator, what is different in the accelerator 2.0, and how companies can get involved. If you’re interested in applying for the accelerator program, the deadline is April 4th, 2022.

We live in an increasingly globalized and interconnected society. The pandemic has disrupted supply chains and business models but also increased the urgency of transitioning from traditional sources of energy. The path to NetZero, however, is going to be complex and will require fundamental changes to business models and unprecedented innovation. In this podcast with AVEVA and AWS Energy, we discuss the energy industry, the challenges we see today to energy production, and how is AVEVA is helping prepare the foundation for the innovation that is required for the Energy Transition. We will highlight opportunities using several case studies and discuss more broadly where the energy industry is going following the energy transition moving into a more sustainable future

This week Joe talks with Bailey Hendrix, Matt Martin, and Erwin Platvoet from XRG Technologies. They breakdown the first, and arguably the most important step of the refining process, the fired heaters warming feedstock. They explain the process, why most heaters are inherently inefficient, and how they go about improving efficiencies for these existing burners through CFD modeling. We end on discussion of their new technology, Xceed, which is meant to improve efficiency and lower carbon and GHG emissions from both new and old fired heaters.
