8 | James Werbe — Founder & CEO, Wayside Energy

💦 Battery immersion cooling! What does that mean? Today's episode brings James Werbe of Wayside Energy for a conversation with BioZen's CEO Nate Kirchhofer. As Wayside puts it, they're "creating a future to look forward to" starting with their novel thermal control approach for sodium ion (Na-ion) cells and how it helps with safety, reliability, sustainability, and scaling. We dive into just what immersion cooling entails, social NIMBYism vs. excitement for renewable energy, and making energy storage "smarter" through IoT interconnection protocols. Plus, we discuss how to think about engineering and community as tools for good, and how policy such as California's self-generation incentive program (SGIP, up to $1000/kWh!) help with that outcome.Recorded 16 March 2023.[BioZen Batteries produces this show as part of the Clean Power Media Group at cleanpower.media.
