Ep.34 Vaitea Cowan

The main takeaways from this conversation below include Vaitea’s thoughts on Enapter’s development, collaboration opportunities, and the importance of attending Tech events.

Highlights:

  • The role of green hydrogen in combating climate change: Vaitea Cowan emphasized the importance of green hydrogen in the battle against climate change. Unlike grey hydrogen, green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power, resulting in fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This sustainable energy source has the potential to play a significant role in achieving global climate targets by replacing fossil fuels in various sectors.
  • Enapter’s growth and expansion plans: Enapter aims to make green hydrogen affordable and accessible worldwide. With their latest mega-watt scale electrolyzer coming online this Summer, the company is now focusing on scaling up production. They also recently completed the construction of a new factory in Germany, which will help to further expand their operations.
  • Collaboration and partnership opportunities: Cowan believes that collaboration is essential for achieving net-zero targets. Enapter is interested in partnering with system integrators, energy developers, and companies working on hydrogen-powered planes, cars, and trucks; or those who want to replace their process running with natural gas to use a clean gas instead. By working together, these organizations can help drive the adoption of green hydrogen and contribute to a more sustainable future.
  • The value of attending Tech events like Hello Tomorrow: Cowan highlighted the benefits of participating in Tech events like Hello Tomorrow, where she was a speaker. Such events provide networking opportunities, as well as a chance to meet potential partners and investors. Cowan also emphasized the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences with other professionals in the industry, which can lead to valuable collaborations and business opportunities.
  • The significance of being invited to give a TED talk: The interview also touched upon Cowan’s experience of being invited to give a TED talk. She shared her excitement and the sense of achievement that came with being recognized by one of the most prestigious platforms for sharing ideas. Cowan’s TED talk allowed her to reach a broader audience and raise awareness of the potential of green hydrogen.

Vaitea Cowan’s insights into Enapter’s journey and the future of green hydrogen provide a valuable perspective on the opportunities and challenges ahead for the clean energy industry. By embracing collaboration, participating in tech events, and sharing ideas through platforms like TED Talks, startups like Enapter can drive the green hydrogen revolution and contribute to a more sustainable world.
