In this episode of Green Disruptors, host Megan Kjar sits down with Tom Chepucavage, co-founder and CEO of Flow Aluminum — an innovative battery startup out of the University of New Mexico. Flow is developing a carbon-negative, aluminum-based battery that’s safer, more sustainable, and longer-lasting than conventional lithium-ion technology.

Tom breaks down how their batteries store energy, capture CO₂, and could play a vital role in powering microgrids, data centers, and military operations — especially in extreme conditions. They also discuss the ethical issues of lithium sourcing, the regulatory roadblocks in clean energy, and how startups like Flow are scaling against all odds.

Whether you’re a tech entrepreneur, a clean energy advocate, or just curious about where the future of energy is headed — this episode is for you.
