About
David Lindqvist is the Chief Executive Officer of Cedar & Current, a climate infrastructure company that builds and operates decarbonization assets for industrial customers across Europe and North America. Before Cedar & Current, David spent fifteen years in industrial energy: first as an engineer at a large European utility, then as the head of a national grid operator's distributed energy program, and most recently as the founder of a heat-recovery business that was acquired in 2020. He writes and speaks about the parts of the energy transition that do not get attention: process heat, heavy industry, and the procurement realities that determine which technologies actually get deployed.
