In this episode, we sit down with Moji Karimi, CEO and co-founder of Cemvita, to discuss how nature-inspired technologies and synthetic biology can tackle some of the hardest climate challenges. A self-described carbon-negative entrepreneur and modern wildcatter, Moji shares how his career in oil and gas shaped his view of risk, why now is the moment for synthetic biology, and how these tools can decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like aviation fuel. We also explore Cemvita’s work on gold hydrogen, why Houston’s talent base is a major advantage for climate tech startups, how to turbocharge the city’s innovation ecosystem, and Moji’s candid take on why the energy transition may never truly be “finished.”
