Episode Description
Inna Braverman, co-founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power:
“Offshore, the waves don’t move in one direction. Your equipment can get hit by waves that are 20 meters in height. Near the shore, there’s a phenomenon called wave run-up where they actually build near the shore, and they’re all heading in one direction. The sector should start where it’s simple, and move from there.” - Inna Braverman, explaining why shore waves are the simpler clean energy solution.
🇺🇦 Born in Ukraine, Inna was given a second chance at life after the Chernobyl explosion nearly cost her everything. Her family moved to Israel when she was young, and she was raised in a small town called Akko. She studied political science and English literature at Haifa University and soon began working as an interpreter at an energy firm.
She began to research the viability of wave energy as a clean energy solution and met her co-founder David Leb. They launched Eco Wave Power in 2011.
Eco Wave Power installed its first grid-connected wave energy array in Gibraltar, then secured a project’s pipeline of 254 megawatts. It’s now growing and going strong.
