An Interview with Willie Wågen
Join me for a discussion with Willie Wågen, CEO and part of the founding team of the world leading Sustainable Energy Center in Stord on the west coast of Norway. The center helps entrepreneurs prove their technology for new fuel types, offshore wind, carbon capture and grid. The world's first ammonia powered vessel. World's first anchorage system for a floating offshore wind turbine (10km offshore from Stord). And think of it as a ship on land where you can test your piece at a fraction of the cost otherwise, surrounded by experienced engineers.
In this episode, we discuss how the Sustainable Energy Center in Stord is helping innovators bring clean-energy technologies to life. Willie Wågen explains how the facility acts as a “ship on land,” allowing entrepreneurs to test solutions in offshore wind, new fuel types, carbon capture, and grid integration at a fraction of the usual cost. We also cover some of the center’s achievements, including an ammonia-powered vessel and the anchoring system for a floating offshore wind turbine. The conversation highlights the role of hands-on testing and engineering expertise in accelerating the energy transition.
