Despite contributing approximately 5.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions today, little progress has been made in decarbonizing cement production.

In this episode, co-hosts Ellie McDonald and Thomas Obermeier sit down with Cody Finke, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Brimstone, which is seeking to introduce carbon-negative cement to the market.

We discuss Cody's path to finding the most relevant problem to tackle that could have a meaningful impact at scale, how that led him to founding Brimstone in 2019 with Hugo Leandri, the existing cement and concrete ecosystem that appears uninterested in pursuing decarbonization, and why he is confident that a lower-cost solution, not CCS, is the only feasible pathway for the industry.
