This week on CleanTalk, Director-Producer Luke Harmer sits down for a chat with Dr. Carsten Buehrer, Executive Vice President Business Development at PNE, to unpack a career journey revolving around cutting edge technology & renewable energy.

Throwing himself right at the deep end after his Master's & PhD thesis, Dr. Buehrer unravels how his experience founding & scaling a company in superconductivity & heating technology is now equipping him to tackle the renewable energy storage and transportation problem at PNE Group.

In this conversation you'll learn what makes Carsten tick, the benefits of Power to X (electricity to gas conversion for more flexible energy storage, transport and trade) and the importance of understanding other cultures in broadening your intellectual pallet as a professional and, more specifically, in working to expand the global renewable energy supply chain.

Enjoy!
