Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

The Science and Economics of Carbon Recycling (with LanzaTech’s Jennifer Holmgren)


Listen Later

Carbon recycling takes our polluting carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and, with the help of bacteria, turns them into ethanol. This can replace oil as the basis for carbon-based chemicals industries (e.g., fertilizers, plastics, clothing, health and beauty products, etc.), as well as offering sustainable fuel and animal feed.

Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech, joins Azeem Azhar to share her vision of the future where greenhouse gases provide a core contribution to our sustainable life.

Jennifer and Azeem dig deep into the science of fermentation and how to manage, at scale, the bacteria that are at the heart of their process. They also discuss:

  • How regulators can help innovate in climate tech.
  • Creating sustainable aviation fuels.
  • How carbon recycling could empower local communities.
