In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, Dylan is joined by John O’Donnell, CEO of Rondo Energy, a company with the vision to help the world’s most energy-intensive industries achieve zero carbon emissions. The company has developed a patented battery that uses wind and solar power to deliver zero-carbon energy at a lower cost than ever. The Rondo Heat Battery provides a safe, practical, efficient, and affordable supply of continuous industrial heat and power. Rondo reduces operating costs while eliminating emissions - and is available at scale today.

John has an engineering background and has spent his career bringing new technologies from the laboratory to large scale in several industries.

Before Rondo and going back to 2005, he worked in turning solar energy into industrial heat. He's also been involved in fusion technology development as the lead engineer for the Princeton plasma physics laboratory, and holds over twenty patents.
