🌋Leading Through Uncertainty: Few Lessons from the Field🌋 As a leader during the recent natural disaster, I’ve learned some valuable lessons and had a few (nervous) laughs along the way that I wanted to share. 1️⃣ Take One Day at a Time: Every morning started with a fresh estimation of conditions, and trust me, some days required a very strong cup of coffee. For a planner like me, riding the waves of uncertainty was a challenge. But hey, our plans have never been better—thanks to the daily caffeine boost! 2️⃣ No One Accomplishes Big Things Alone: Building on people’s strengths became our mantra. It was tough not being on the field with my team, especially since we had no knowledge of how safe Grindavíkurbær was at the time. I had to rely on them to perform selfless tasks like refilling the generator during power outages, tending to our animals and making crucial repairs. Kudos to my incredible team for handling the unknown with such bravery! Meanwhile, I focused on pushing for access to our facility and talking to the right people -definitely more in my wheelhouse. 3️⃣ Build a Strong Network: I had only been with Aurora Abalone for two months when the volcanic activity started. In the face of uncertainty, putting a sharp (and steep) focus on building a strong network at all community levels proved invaluable. A big shoutout to everyone who helped us navigate through 💛 💙 4️⃣ Optimism is Key: Amidst all the chaos, focusing on progress kept our spirits high. Celebrating even the smallest victories made a huge difference. It's also important to just keep going. Do not stop working and always keep an eye on what’s ahead. Leading through a natural disaster has taught me so much about resilience, teamwork, and the power of a positive mindset. Here’s to stronger teams and better days ahead! 💪🌟 #Leadership #Resilience #Teamwork #Adaptability #NaturalDisaster #LearningJourney #Optimism #Community #Grindavik #Aquaculture #Abalone

🌲🔥According to Global Forest Watch, in 2023 forest fires were burning nearly twice as much tree cover as they did 20 years ago. There were record-breaking fires in Canada and catastrophic blazes in Hawaii. These events, driven by climate change, contribute to longer fire seasons and more severe fires. Our latest article highlights Laki Power´s wildfire solution the LKX-SURV that helps grid operators mitigate wildfire risks in remote locations and at the powerline directly. The LKX-SURV features: ✅ Patented power harvesting technology, eliminating the need for external power sources, which is often a challenge of monitoring remote locations. ✅ 4K optical and thermal camera, providing visual confirmation of smoke and fire and evidence capture. ✅ On-board AI-smoke and fire detection, providing early warning systems via alerts & notifications. ✅ Weather data for real-time and forecasted weather conditions. ✅ Multiple connectivity options. ✅ Integration into existing software. 🔗 Read more here ➡ : https://lnkd.in/e9XMYXcD #wildfire #climatechange #extremeweather #transmission #innovation #ohl #highvoltage #assetmanagement

We’re joining forces with other industry leaders to bring a first-of-its-kind project to life! We recently signed strategic cooperation agreements with Jiangsu Dafu Technology Equipment and Guangdong Hydro Power Energy Investment to build the world's first hydrogen-methanol integrated equipment manufacturing project using renewable energy. Designed to meet the growing demand for green methanol and eco-friendly solutions in sectors such as transportation and industrial processes, we plan to construct a 100,000 tonnes/year e-methanol plant. The plant will be powered by our patented ETL technology, which currently produces over 200,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year across our clients’ plants in China. To enable integration with renewable energy, our partners Jiangsu Dafu will provide innovative smart power products with energy storage capabilities, while Guangdong Hydro Power will drive the project with their vast expertise in clean energy project investment, development and management. This is a great example of cross-border partnerships where we leverage global #technology and expertise in carbon capture and renewable energy to fast-track our #energytransition towards a more sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/eB29kD4h #sustainability #eMethanol #ccus #innovation
