Founders For Good

Tim Wood is the Co-Founder of Achelous Energy. After a successful career in marine engineering, Tim and his co-founder were inspired to design a better system for creating renewable energy. They set out to harness hydrokinetic energy, i.e. the free-flowing water in rivers. Because rivers are constantly flowing it’s a very efficient way to produce energy and cost effective compared to current methods. Their platform provides clean, renewable energy with no negative impact on the environment, and they’ve initially focused on working in developing countries to power local communities. In this episode Tim chats about the state of renewable energy, what needs to happen to transition to NetZero, successfully building their first prototype, how to create scalable clean energy and their plans for expansion.
