Harnessing the Power of the Waves with Calwave Power Technologies | Ocean Decade Show

September 1, 2022

Tech like this might change everything on the coast!

This month's podcast is a testament to the power of in person events (done under COVID safety protocols, of course)! After a serendipitous connection at the inaugural Aspen Ideas: Climate event in May 2022, Taylor interviews Marcus Lehmann and Julie Mai, CEO and co-founder and Head of Communications respectively for Calwave Power Technologies, a California-based wave energy developer with the mission to provide reliable, cost-effective ocean wave technologies for sustainable energy access. After all the talk globally about offshore wind in recent years, Taylor digs into this less-discussed, but equally vital form of ocean energy and along the way also manages to discuss the importance of fostering entrepreneurs themselves and entrepreneurship during the Ocean Decade.
