Episode 2: Kathrine Ryenge CEO at ZEG Power on how to create product market fit in deep tech hydrogen

Our second podcast is with Kathrine Ryenge, CEO of ZEG Power, an energy start-up with a radical idea: low cost AND clean energy. From hydrogen. ZEG offers a route to the holy grail of higher yield with CO2 capture integrated within the technology without additional cost or carbon footprint.

 

This is far from Kathrine's first gig; she has prior experience working in a number of Scatec startup companies, including Norsk Titanium, a global leader within additive manufacturing of structural titanium components for aerospace applications - and others in wind and solar.

 

So Kathrine brings real experience in technology commercialisation - and specifically in taking products to market. Sometimes successfully, sometimes less successfully with a lot of learning. John talks to Kathrine about the role of partnering, how to accelerate and the talent every founder needs to surround him or herself with. Finally, Kathrine provides a great education in the clean hydrogen sector and the trials and tribulations of building an energy game-changer.

 

Frankly is a series of podcasts where we bring together entrepreneurs and hustlers who are building energy start-ups. And also investors who focus on the energy industry - what do they look for and how do they measure success. Frankly is one way we give back to the ecosystem and share what we learn.
