(don't) Waste Water! | Water Tech to Solve the World

[Extract] "Essentially, it is a Giant Pressure Cooker!" - Eirik Fadnes - Cambi


Listen Later

Eirik is the CEO of the Cambi Group. Cambi is on a mission to turn sludge into resources; we'll explore how they do that in just a minute.


If you're a regular listener of this podcast, you've for sure already heard that there's no "waste" in "wastewater." 


We've explained how the world's sewage might be the equivalent of 320 nuclear power reactors, and we've regularly touched on how that wastewater is probably one of the best sources of water we have at hand in the new realm of water scarcity. 


Now, in the dirty world of wastewater, there's an even dirtier side to be found on the sludge line. Imagine that's the waste's waste; how good or useful can it be?


Well, first, that's also an amazing bioresource that you can turn into biogas but also biosolids that can be valorized. And that's where Cambi's magic happens: with their thermal hydrolysis process, they can increase the biogas production by up to 50% while halving the volume of those biosolids - which means twice fewer trucks to deal with it.


I'll let Eirik explain to us in simple terms how - to quote him - his giant pressure cooker delivers that amazing result, and we'll get to discuss a bit deeper the business model and the strategy of a company that went through its IPO in 2021.


Right before we start, let me remind you that if you like what you hear, you can help me up incredibly by sharing that content around you. 


Tell your friends, colleagues, or LinkedIn network what you found inspiring in what Eirik explains today, and if you don't like what you hear, please reach out to me, and tell me what I should be doing differently or better. 


Come on, do it, and I'll meet you on the other side!
