Today I have a special episode and guest for you! 

How about a one of kind off-grid house, 500m2 running on solar power and hydrogen storage that has been operating off-grid for almost 8 years now!!  

Check chapters/time stamps below because we cover ALOT of this amazing off-grid super house!  

Hans Olof-Nilsson aka "Mr Hydrogen" the electrical engineer and entrepreneur behind the house, guides us through the amazing house and energy system that is attracting alot of attention right now! Everything from large compnies like IKEA, police and firefighting authorities, energy companies, private householders and farmers and many more are asking Hans-Olof for advice and want similar solutions.    

Hans-Olof Nilsson is and his company Nilsson is truly unique in making off-grid housing available commercially to a broader market and I think it could be a game changer for housing and the energy market!     I hope you like the episode and get as inspired as I did!

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!

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

Welcome to the Evolution Show, Im Johan Landgren.   

I´m back in the Evolution Show studio with a super inspiring guest and wing sail technology! I´m joined by Managing Director Niclas Dahl, the head of AlfaWall Oceanbird, a joint venture developing the world´s largest sailing ship for freight! Niclas Dahl guides us through the remarkable wing sail technology they are developing and that may completely revolutionize the way we ship goods on the sea! Fossil free and silent for the oceanic wildlife!  

You don´t want to miss this episode! And stick around for next week´s episode when we are back with part 2 of our conversation. 

This time we broaden the scope and I discuss the future with of shipping with Niclas Dahl, using the Oceanbird wing sails as well as other technologies. We also cover the challenges and opportunities we face shipping on the sea today and how we can address them and go fossil free!

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!

Welcome to a New exciting year with the Evolution Show!   

Hope you are great!  

Full video version of this episoe on Evolution Show on Youtube!

We follow up part 1 with Art Berman, one of the World´s leading energy experts and Geologists with part 2 of our conversations where we talk about the energy dilemma: the challenge of replacing fossil fuels with renewables and what it may mean for the size of the human population and our way of life going forward.   

In essence, it will most likely be nothing like business as usual! And we cover many aspects of renewables as well as fossil fuels that I think many can appreciate and learn from, hope you like it!    Tell me what you think in the comments below!   

With 42 years of experience as a geologist and a wealth of knowledge Arthur gives us a rare view into to the world of fossil energy and why it is so important to understand to be able to predict the future whether you are a full time investor like me, or a policy maker, researcher or just curious!   And if you do and want to support the Evolution Show, give it a thumbs and consider subscribing!
