#255 Decarbonizing Industry by Burning Aluminum? | Peter Godart (Found Energy)


Listen Later

Ever wonder how we are going to decarbonize heavy industry? Well, you won't have to wonder much longer. Today's guest has an incredible solution that is 1) drop in, 2) cost parity (or better), 3) has an existing supply chain, 4) overcomes any scarcity concerns, and 5) prevents users from changing anything they do. 

Our guest is Peter Godart, the Co-Founder of Found Energy

Some quotes to hook you:

- "We've developed what we call the world's first rechargeable fuel."

- "There's really no other technology that can store energy for this long and then be dispatched as easily."

- "Aluminum is just one of the best materials we have available to actually burn something."

- "If you don't have a green grid, actually exacerbates the issue. At least in the short term, makes things worse."
