Matt interviews Dr. Sebastian Pohlmann from Up Catalyst about their work with carbon capture to produce products like graphite for batteries in a carbon neutral way. Carbon Capture is a divisive topic, but this approach might change your opinion. Could this be a good path forward?

The argument that carbon capturing benefits the fossil fuel industry, is like the argument that life wests prevent people from learning to swim.
Geopolymers are a class of chemicals that provide the same bond function as the Portland cement. Many of these may produce less carbon or even use carbon-containing molecules in the curing process.
Net zero, even if it is achieved, will not stop temperature rising. Because there is a large store of CO2 in the atmosphere and oceans. It will take a long time to draw that down, even once no more is being added. We are going to have to do Solar Radiation Management, at least as an interim measure.

Good to see the emphasis on capturing emissions from processes that are hard to replace, and making useful products rather than burying it.
So, maybe I missed it, though, would love to know what happens to the oxygen in this separation process?
Here for the great content good interview and happy with the production levels. do what you can with what you have now. every step in the right direction helps
I think the new camera just does a better job of highlighting how bad you look 😉
OMG SEAN IS BEAUTIFUL SWIPE RIGHT!
Also, the Up Catalyst stuff is quite interesting. I am wondering if they are considering how adaptable they will need to be when "deploying" solutions into the field. Somehow I cannot imagine any let's say two cement plants being the same. A friend of mine works for a cement plant, they recently merged with or acquired another company and they are having all kinds of problems regarding various incompatibilities with all kinds of equipment, so I cannot imagine quick adoption of something "extra" unless it is turnkey.
Mat could use a couple more flashlights in his studio. It looks like he is in a cave.
