That’s why wave energy has remained one of the most promising — and most elusive — sources of renewable power. In this episode, Josh talks with Catharina Belfrage Sahlstrand, Chief Commercial Officer of CorPower Ocean, about how the company is turning wave energy into a viable power source. They discuss CorPower’s spherical buoys, designed around a principle borrowed from the human heart, and the commercial challenge of getting utilities, developers, and large offtakers comfortable with a new source of clean energy. Catharina explains why surviving 60-foot waves off the coast of Portugal became a critical proof point, why CorPower is now building its first commercial wave farms in Portugal and Scotland, and how wave power — as a complement to wind and solar — can make the broader renewable mix more affordable.Show NotesGuest: Catharina Belfrage Sahlstrand, Chief Commercial OfficerCompany: CorPower OceanFor more low-carbon innovations now scaling—and the playbooks driving their market adoption—subscribe to the podcast plus our:* Weekly Newsletter* Climate Adoption Playbook* Supercool on Instagram * Supercool on LinkedIn","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WNN1988bBlxHUOs2snU8AOuKZR0jqyW_s255bNBPY2k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZGNm/ODEyNWI4NTRmNTk3/MjA4YmI1NmFhOWEw/NDM5Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
