Tech Voices: Rondo Energy CEO John O’Donnell on Using Bricks to Decarbonize Industrial Processes

C3 Solutions’ President Drew Bond recently sat down [https://youtu.be/ICq-o4BNGO4]with John O’Donnell, Rondo Energy's CEO, to talk about the company’s unique thermal energy storage technology.  In this interview, the two discuss how heavy industry is known to be one of the hardest sectors of the economy to decarbonize.  Production of materials like steel and cement requires a lot of continuous heat and cannot be met by the variability of renewable power, which is playing an increasingly larger role on the nation’s power grid.    Rondo Energy is taking a novel approach to this challenge by using low-cost wind and solar electricity to generate and store industrial heat. We get some fascinating looks inside the process in the company in this interview.  Catch up on recent episodes: * Rep.

Right Voices: Rep. Jeff Duncan Outlines Policies to Unleash American Nuclear Power

In this episode of Right Voices, we spoke with Rep. Jeff Duncan, leads a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers introducing sweeping reforms to the nation’s regulatory system to deploy more nuclear power production. Congressman Duncan joined us to discuss his proposed policies to unleash American nuclear power. While nuclear power is safe, clean, and reliable, antiquated laws and regulations have hindered its deployment. To address these challenges Rep. Duncan introduced the Atomic Energy Advancement Act [https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6544].  The AEAA, which recently passed the House of Representatives, includes several reforms [https://c3newsmag.com/with-atomic-energy-advancement-act-congress-charts-a-path-to-unleash-american-nuclear-power/] to drive nuclear forward.   These include modernizing the permitting process, directing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to consider the benefits of nuclear energy in its mission, and strengthening international competitiveness through trade and exports.  *Subscribe to this podcast on iTunes, Spotify or wherever you listen! >Learn more: C3newsmag.com
