Plants bear a terribly heavy burden in the fight to keep carbon out of the atmosphere. They collect and store carbon inside themselves, which is why you often hear about planting trees to save the planet.
Today's guest, Kelly Hering from Charm Industrial, tells Nathan about how her company is working to support the plants in their crucial fight to keep carbon out of the atmosphere. It turns out that we humans can remove carbon too, we just have to be creative.
Charm Industrial is working to produce reliable, cost-competitive hydrogen from biomass. Their approach to producing industrial hydrogen is unique, and allows them to deliver carbon-neutral hydrogen reliably and cost-effectively. To do this they integrated a specially-chosen biomass crop, tightly coordinated farm operations, and a novel gasification system.

#3 Carbon (and Guilt) Free Flying with Val Miftakhov, Founder & CEO of ZeroAvia

Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
For many sustainability-minded folks, travel is a huge conundrum. Nathan identified it as one of his own sustainability vices, and some of our guests have as well. For many, the urge to see the world comes from a similar place as the urge to protect it. On today's episode, Nathan speaks with Val Miftakhov, Founder & CEO of ZeroAvia, who is working every day to make it possible for us to travel sustainably.
ZeroAvia is a leader in zero-emission aviation, focused on hydrogen-electric aviation solutions to address a variety of markets, initially targeting 500 mile range in 10-20 seat aircraft used for commercial passenger transport, package delivery, agriculture, and more. Based in London and California, ZeroAvia has already secured experimental certificates for its two prototype aircraft across the US and the UK regulatory environments, passed significant flight test milestones, and is on track for commercial operations in 2023. The company’s expanding UK operations are partially supported by the grants from UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute and Innovate UK, and ZeroAvia is part of the UK Government’s Jet Zero Council.

Tuesday Mar 09, 2021
Tuesday Mar 09, 2021
Mimi Tran Zambetti is a co-founder at Wren, a Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to helping end the climate crisis. Wren is a website that lets you calculate your carbon footprint and easily fund tree planting and rainforest conservation to offset your carbon footprint. Mimi and her two co-founders launched Wren in 2019, and have since participated in YCombinator's Summer 2019 batch.
Mimi and Nathan grapple with a couple of the hardest questions a sustainability minded person can ask of themselves: What can one singular person do to save the environment? And how much responsibility do I hold for each bit of carbon I emit? As they explore these and other questions, Nathan and Mimi touch on values, start up life, and the potential for positive monetary value for carbon sinks.
You can get in touch with Mimi on LinkedIn or by email, mimi@projectwren.com.
