Henrik Lundgren, CTO at Capture Energy, on Agility, Adaptation & Energy Storage Innovation | Season Eight, Episode Twelve
Welcome to Season Eight of Conversations in Cleantech!
From inspiring stories and words of wisdom to conversations on overcoming obstacles and fostering innovation, you can expect to learn from the trailblazers who are navigating the complexities of change to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.
In this episode of Conversations in Cleantech, our host Olivia Morgan sits down with Henrik Lundgren, CTO at Capture Energy, to unpack what it really means to innovate in one of the fastest-moving corners of the clean energy landscape.
What happens when your market shifts overnight, your competition undercuts your margins, and you’re building a company from the ground up - all at once?
Henrik knows the answer well. With a PhD in lithium-ion batteries and a background spanning corporate R&D and startup chaos, he’s been on both sides of the cleantech spectrum. Now at Capture Energy, he’s navigating volatile pricing, growing competition, and the challenge of scaling smart - all while building systems, teams, and products from scratch.
From technical deep dives to tactical advice, Henrik shares his take on finding balance between quality and speed, structure and agility, ambition and resilience. He also reflects on what early-career professionals really need to grow in this space, and why asking for help is anything but a weakness.
If you’re wondering how to thrive in an industry defined by constant evolution, this episode offers a refreshingly grounded perspective on navigating change with clarity, curiosity, and a whole lot of drive.
