He began his career working for traditional and integrated oil companies, including the prominent Amaco before its merger with British Petroleum. Starting in the energy sector, Robert witnessed the mindset that prevailed at the time, with the belief that any problem could be solved as long as oil prices remained below $20 a barrel. However, his path took an unexpected turn, leading him back to the world of renewable energy. Throughout his career, Robert has seen the industry undergo significant changes. He experienced the transition from a heavily fossil fuel-centric approach to a growing emphasis on renewable sources. This shift sparked his interest, and he recognized the potential for renewable energy to make a lasting impact. Today, with oil prices soaring above $90 a barrel, Robert's decision to venture into the renewable energy sector has proved prescient. His unique journey highlights his adaptability and forward-thinking nature. He has exemplified the ability to navigate through evolving landscapes and find opportunities for growth. Robert's experiences in both traditional and renewable energy sectors have given him a well-rounded perspective, making him a valuable asset in today's ever-changing and environmentally conscious world.

Did you know that more than 90% of today's energy storage technology is based on a 140+ year-old concept? Care to guess what that is? Hint - has to do with moving water, waiting, then moving water again. Humans have been harnessing the energy of river currents for centuries, using water wheels spun by rivers initially to process grains and cloth. Today, hydropower provides about 16 percent of the world's electricity, generating power in all but two U.S. states. Contrary to popular belief, however, hydroelectric power can seriously damage the climate, displacing millions of inhabitants and in some cases generating more GHGs than their fossil counterparts!With this in mind the genius idea of Energy Vault was born. If you missed our episode with their CEO, Robert Piconi, last month, then you truly missed out on a conversation worth revisiting. If you don't have the time, however, for a 60+min treasure trove, then today you can check out a 10 min Tactical Tuesday vignette of that convo specifically focused on how Energy Vault's team have created a gravity-based storage solution that mimics hydro power without all the water and ecological concerns.Let's face it, our growing reliance on renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, with inherent intermittency challenges, prevents us from achieving a 100% carbon neutral power grid. Some of the front runners in the current energy storage race are lithium ion batteries and pumped hydro, both of which pose challenges like high cost and a negative environmental impact. Energy Vault's solution uses gravity (and software, of course) in a novel form factor that is efficient, scalable, economical, and sustainable.Listen as Robert explains how their unique system uses eco-composite bricks for long-duration energy storage(LDES). He points out the energy storage market is not where it should be, and how their gravity batteries and strategic partnerships are enabling an increasingly renewable-powered grid.

On Today's Episode: It's a foregone conclusion at this point that to reach the necessary level of renewable energy penetration on the grid that will meaningfully address climate change, energy storage is a must. All that wind & solar energy also needs to be dispatchable. And, while batteries are seen as a crucial component of energy storage systems, the limitations with today's battery chemistries and energy densities suggest that we still need storage alternatives. Both lithium-ion batteries and pumped hydro storage currently dominate the energy storage market but they each represent challenges related to cost and environmental impact. What if we could re-think hydropower using gravity but avoiding the dramatic environmental cost?Listen as Robert Piconi, the Co-founder & CEO of Energy Vault, discusses their diverse technology portfolio that provides software and hardware energy storage solutions to meet clients' needs from municipalities to major investor-owned utilities. Piconi and his team have reimagined energy storage by developing an innovative, gravity-based alternative. Their unique system uses eco-composite bricks for long-duration energy storage(LDES), but they readily admit that there has to be a (technology) bridge to LDES.Energy Vault's approach combines various storage technologies to fulfill diverse energy needs while emphasizing a novel software management solution that itself could be a world-class product for dispatching & balancing energy loads. Energy Vault offers a tailored energy storage solution for public utilities, independent power producers, and industrial energy users working with renewables to address the demand catalyst, climate change. Today we dig into just how this innovation came into existence, and why the industry is taking note.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.SunCast is presented by Sungrow, the world's most bankable inverter brand.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 637 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus

We've got billions in the pot for renewables. The technology is there for wind, solar, hydrogen and nuclear, but there's still a significant hurdle to overcome: the issue of storage. Energy Vault is a company exploring innovative solutions to this problem. Using the science behind pumped hydro as inspiration, they created a gravity and kinetic-energy based system around massive composite blocks. Excess renewable energy lifts the blocks, then when the energy is needed again, it drops them and converts the kinetic energy into electricity. The main problem with the grid is that it is designed as a ‘pre-generation' storage solution, in that we simply convert fuel into energy. Post-generation storage, where we actual store the electricity, is lacking. The grid needs upgrading, and Energy Vault's system is one solution. On the Interchange: Recharged, David is joined by Co-Founder and CEO Rob Piconi. Rob believes that the biggest step we need to take to decarbonise is solving our storage problems. The discussion explores the technology behind Energy Vault, the every-present issue of the supply chain, and the future of investment for the company.

Timestamps: 1:52 - From fossil fuels to clean energy 7:55 - Idealab and Energy Vault 14:20 - Hardware and software 29:03- Saying no to customers 43:50 - The intense schedule of going public About Robert Piconi: Robert Piconi is the co-founder and CEO at Energy Vault, a global energy storage company based in Ticino and publicly listed at NYSE. He previously worked at companies like BP, Alcatel and Spirent Communications. Despite his past in the oil business, Robert is currently dedicated to taking an active role in the transition to renewals. That's why he co-founded Energy Vault in 2017, after having validated the idea at Idealab, the longest running technology incubator in the US, with a very impressive track record: almost half of its companies have either gone public or been acquired. Energy Vault aims to tackle the complicated issue of energy storage, i.e. electron storage. This storage is made difficult by the electrons' limited “shelf-life”, by the costliness of the infrastructure, and by the fact that it is rather hard to find sustainable ways of doing it. Energy Vault combines innovative design, advanced materials science, and proprietary machine-vision software to orchestrate the storage and dispatch of electrical power by lifting and lowering composite bricks, made from eco-friendly materials. Energy Vault's commitment to sustainability is reflected in a unique approach to the circular economy which utilizes local industrial and energy waste, including remediated coal ash and recycled wind blades converted to recyclable materials, to build the system's composite bricks. They run their infrastructure and acquire their raw materials locally, so as to avoid greenhouse gas emissions and reinvest in the communities where they're located. One major customer segment of theirs are utilities companies that distribute to a grid infrastructure, and which are currently in the process of shutting down their fossil fuel plants and making the switch to renewables. Energy Vault went public on the NYSE in 2022, through a merger with Novus Capital Corporation II (NYSE: NXU). The transaction raised approximately $235 million in gross proceeds, additive to its recently announced Series C of $107M and the $50M license fee from Atlas Renewable, to fund the execution of its growth strategy. Reflecting on the going public process, Robert advises founders to not go public before they've reached a scale which allows them to reliably predict the company's future, or before they've hired enough people to maintain operational excellence during the IPO process. Memorable Quotes: "I felt like my potential could reach greater heights if it weren't held back by corporate constraints." "Countries have no walls: greenhouse gasses go all over the world. It is imperative that we cooperate." "An IPO process takes months. I would caution founders to structure their business in a way that makes sure things run on time even if they're away."

The future of storage is so bright that investing in in the vertical and its adjacencies is the opportunity of a lifetime. At the same time, buyer beware - there are many Theranos-like investment opportunities lurking out there in our vertical. You've got to be very smart to minimize the losers in your portfolio…or, as the great Michael Lewis would say, adopt a “Moneyball” approach.Where are the successes and where are the pitfalls? You need to be a great financier but also a fantastic scientist to figure out which will be the winning opportunities in the maze of projects floating around.That's why we have invited Jeff Chamberlain, CEO of Volta Energy Technologies (a 400mUSD Venture Capital fund) to discuss all the new innovations out there, including solid-state batteries. Jeff Chamberlain launched Volta Energy Technologies (https://volta.vc/ ) from Argonne National Laboratory in 2016. Volta's investment scope includes batteries, storage, and all the associated technology required to reduce cost and integrate batteries into vehicles and the grid across a spectrum of innovation that includes materials production, batteries, fast-charge tech, power electronics, management software, and recycling. Jeff and his team leverage all their knowledge and experience not only in batteries but also more generally in technology commercialization, physics, engineering, and investing to source, diligence, underwrite, and manage their investments.We talk about the difficulties of scaling and the need to integrate innovations into the current industrial infrastructure and supply chains, not try to compete against them. The debate doesn't not avoid “controversial” companies such as Quantum Scape and Energy Vault. In conclusion, Batterytech is a fantastic field of investing, but there are Zombies out there, not only in VCs but also in public markets under the form of SPACs. There will be blood.A great thanks to our partner Aquila Capital

In this episode of Mining Green, Brett speaks to Graeme Stanway (from State of Play) about the Electric Mine Consortium. State of Play was one of the founding members of the Electric Mine Consortium back in 2020.   The Electric Mine Consortium was set up as a collaboration between a number of different mining companies, OEMs, and technology providers to help facilitate the transition to an electric mine. The mining companies include the likes of Goldfields, South32, OZ Minerals, Evolution, Newcrest, Blackstone Minerals, along with OEMs such as Sandvik, Epiroc, ZERO Automotive, and some other tech suppliers such as Energy Vault.   Electric Mine Consortium is made up of six different working groups. These are energy storage, mine design, heavy underground equipment, light and auxiliary equipment for underground, and electric infrastructure, and the newest one being surface and long haulage.   More info on the Electric Mine Consortium can be found on their website here: https://www.electricmine.com/   We covered a lot of ground in the interview with Graeme, particularly around what the Electric Mine Consortium is doing and why. However, we also covered some bigger questions, such as switching perceptions of the mining industry through decarbonisation. Below is a list of the topics we covered in the interview. Why was the Electric Mine Consortium formed? How are the 6 Electric Mine Consortium working packages progressing? What are the schedules/timelines for these different working packages? How does the Electric Mine Consortium operate? How is it funded? How were the working packages decided? Would government funding help achieve your goals faster? Fostering innovative thinking/collaboration between mining companies Why are members joining the Electric Mine Consortium? Applying carbon pricing in studies Onsite technology trials Learning from the Canadian experience & other overseas electric operations Rethinking mining for electric mining Electric Mine Consortium foundation members & organic member growth Future of the Electric Mine Consortium Areas outside of the Electric Mine Consortium's current working groups (processing etc) Decarbonisation of the mining industry. Is there an appetite for it?

The deployment of Li-Ion batteries has exploded in recent years and is expected to enjoy a 30% annual growth until 2030. But those very critical pieces of hardware need a brain to fully function, and that is where software kicks in. In fact, they are two layers of software: the operating system, monitoring the functioning of the battery and the cloud system that interacts with the global electricity system and the power markets. Managing batteries revenues widely differs from geography to geography. Revenues can be categorised in three captions: a) short term ancillary service: daily auctions for primary, secondary, and tertiary reserve b) wholesale electricity market: day-ahead, intraday and imbalance markets; c) long-term auctions such as capacity schemes, voltage control, and last reserve. The battery management software must adapt to those different revenue stacks. So, how are the software developed, managed? How do they evolve? We have the pleasure of welcoming Seyed Madaeni, Chief Digital Officer at Fluence, to discuss those fascinating subjects.Finally, we do a deep dive into the economics of Fluence and have a go at the newly listed (and supposedly competitor) Energy Vault.We thank Aquila Capital for supporting the show.If you want more from Gerard and Laurent, check our sister podcast: Redefining Energy MINUTES, available on all main podcasts platforms.

In deze aflevering is Ilyaz Nasrullah onze gast. Ilyaz is digitaal strateeg en o.a. columnist voor Trouw. Daar schrijft hij over technologie, digitalisering en het effect ervan op ons als mens en samenleving. Hij schreef onlangs een opinie stuk over hoe ons ‘klimaatgeweten' door mensen als Elon Musk wordt 'verdoofd'. Als we teveel vertrouwen dat alle klimaatproblemen door techniek worden opgelost, missen we de urgentie om ook de noodzakelijke veranderingen in gedrag en systemen door te voeren. Daarover gaan we met hem in gesprek. In de Week van... komt Elon Musk weer aan bod. Ditmaal vanwege zijn bedrijf Starlink, dat inmiddels zo'n 2000 satellieten in een baan om de aarde heeft draaien. Wat zijn de (bij)effecten hiervan? Kunnen we straks nog wel ongehinderd naar de sterren staren? De Zwitserse startup Energy Vault houdt zich bezig met het opslaan van energie door middel van zwaartekracht. En tenslotte een luistertip bij De Correspondent: "Wat maakt kleren ‘duurzaam'? Hoe ze worden gemaakt – maar ook wat je er zelf mee doet". We sluiten af met columnist Sanne Roemen, terug van weggeweest! Zij heeft niet stilgezeten en woont inmiddels volledig gasloos in haar nieuwe woning. We praten over dit proces en hoe dit in praktijk bevalt.

Adam works with a lady that had spent years trying many different diets to lose weight. He identified a time in her life that she felt very resourceful and then built a metaphor based on a large vault of energy.  In order to unlock the vault she had to choose to eat from one of two tables. The first table had junk food and processed high carb food and the second table had natural healthy food with lots of salads and vegetables.  By eating and enjoying food from the second table she also unlocks the vault to her stored energy (body fat).  Adam Cox is one of the world's most innovative hypnotists and is known for being the hypnotherapist of choice for Celebrities, CEO's and even Royalty.
