Podcast appearances and mentions of Marcus Lehmann

Marcus Lehmann, serves as the CEO of CalWave Power Technologies Inc. Marcus founded CalWave in2014 and uses his experience in systems engineering, energy systems and entrepreneurship, to lead a diverse team of engineers, advisers, and industry partners to unlock the vast and steady carbon-free power from ocean waves. Prior to CalWave, Marcus held research positions at UC Berkeley, Mechanical Engineering, the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and was a project lead at the Cyclotron Road program. Marcus holds a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from Technical University Hamburg, graduated from Technical University Munich with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and received an honors degree in technology management from the Center for Digital Technology and Management. https://calwave.energy/ https://nexuspmg.com/

Ep.#68 Marcus Lehmann - Co-Founder and CEO of CalWave l Tech4Climate Podcast by Startup BasecampPART 1: Meet the founder: Marcus Lehmann, Co-Founder of CalWaveDuring this new episode of our Founder Series, we sat down with Marcus Lehmann who has developed, with his team, a unique way to harness the power of waves. Waves are the largest unused renewable resource in the world with the great benefits of being more energy-dense, stable, and predictable than other forms of renewable energy. Marcus' startup Calwave intends to equip coastal communities with clean, reliable and local energy while keeping our planet healthy.It was clear from speaking with Marcus that co-founding CalWave was the natural progression of what had been a continuous interest in both building things and riding the waves. From early on, Marcus was already building robotic boats and self-propelled surface vessels, despite growing up in Munich. After studying mechanical engineering with a focus on entrepreneurship, Marcus came to UC Berkeley for his Master's thesis where he was introduced to the technology that would lead him to Co-found CalWave.Energy dependency is a particularly poignant discussion right now with the war in Ukraine, and it was fascinating to talk with Marcus about how his solution has the potential to mitigate the energy dependency of so many coastal communities, particularly island nations. In doing so, we talked about the value chain of renewable energy, how that affects the adoption of renewables, and how CalWave is making waves in the energy market. PART 2: My secret sauce: (AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS ONLY - More info on our site)In the second part of the show, Marcus shares his tips for fundraising and getting out of your lab. He also gives some recommendations on work life balance and books that help him get there.

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.

Today's guest is Marcus Lehmann, CEO and Co-Founder of CalWave. Our planet's surface is mostly covered by ocean, but harnessing the power of our ceaseless water world has not been a considerable part of the energy mix to date. CalWave is on a mission to provide reliable, cost-effective ocean wave technologies for sustainable energy access. The company's award-winning technology transforms the motion of ocean waves into electricity to equip communities of scale with localized power.In this conversation with Marcus, we discuss the potential of wave energy and unpack some of the challenges to operating in dynamic and complex marine environments. We also cover Marcus' background, CalWave's origins, the company's roadmap for getting to market, and how wave power and offshore wind power can be combined in the future. Enjoy the show!You can find me on Twitter @codysimms (me), @mcjpod (podcast) or @mcjcollective (company).

In this episode of lab to startup, we talk to Marcus Lehmann, the Co-founder and CEO of Calwave Energy. Calwave is unlocking the power of the ocean by harvesting the dense energy packed in waves, which is about 30-60 times more dense than solar or wind! We will talk about the underlying technology development, engineering challenges, partnerships that helped them learn faster and how they are currently testing their product under water near San Diego, California. One of the biggest surprises for me and their team is how reliable the product has been since it was installed under water last September!  This speaks for the meticulous planning and engineering prowess of the team from the design phase of the product development. Shownotes: - https://calwave.energy - Wave power has about 30-60X energy compared to solar and wind. - Wave energy hasn't became mainstream commercially because of a lack of scalable solutions - Research originally performed at MIT and UC Berkeley led to technology behind Calwave Energy - Extensive simulation studies helped - Original testing was made possible by funding from NSF and Wave energy prize - Startups tend to go too big too fast and fail- find out how they avoided that mistake, mostly guided by the Wave energy prize - Productive partnerships with DoE, naval architects, oil and pipeline industry, etc., that helped learn quicker (not reinventing the wheel) - Having MBA students from Cleantech to Market program at UC Berkeley, helped avoid the general push back from potential customers - DoE determines the locations for highest wave energy in the oceans - Lessons on fund raising- Lean operations, government grants, crowd funding and competitions funded Calwave for the longest time - Shortsighted view of some investors and technology evaluators comparing wave energy to solar and wind hurts - In the US, 50% of the population lives within 50 miles of coastline, makes transmission cheaper - Lessons learnt from other renewable sources of energy generation - Careers: https://calwave.energy/careers/

PODCAST GUEST BIO: Led by CEO and Co-founder Dr. Marcus Lehmann, CalWave is unlocking the vast and steady carbon-free power from ocean waves worldwide.

Marcus Lehmann provides insights on the nascent, yet rapidly expanding field of wave energy in the USA. More specifically, he talks about CalWave Power Technologies’ pilot project, which resulted in wave energy converter technology being deployed off the pier of Scripps Institute of Oceanography in San Diego. This is a long-duration demonstration of a fully submerged wave energy system in California and it's being funded by a US DOE development contract.
