What this episode covers

Shayle Khan, partner at Energy Impact Partners, joins guest host Sarah Golden, VP of Energy at GreenBiz, to answer listener questions on climate tech. They discuss the role of synthetic biology in producing commodity chemicals, citing Solugen, and debate the risks of unfettered solar geoengineering by startups like Make Sunsets. Khan identifies permitting and transmission as the most intractable barriers to decarbonization, while also analyzing the limited near-term impact of battery recycling on critical mineral supply chains and the economic realities of desalination and fertilizer decarbonization.

    Advancing Battery Innovation for a Power Grid Under Pressure w/ Arwed Niestroj

    Arwed Niestroj, President and COO of Sakuu, explains why battery manufacturing is a complex material science problem where tiny defects cause failures, contrasting it with standard physical manufacturing. He details Sakuu's dry electrode coating technology, which eliminates toxic solvents and reduces facility footprint by 55%, enabling cost-effective Western production. Niestroj discusses how AI accelerates scaling and process control for these complex chemical reactions, and argues that this innovation allows for reshoring battery production to the US by lowering capital and operational costs.

    Electric Car Superiority | The Supply Chain is All Mine | Cookies for Calculus

    Auto industry expert Egil Juliussen explains that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will become cost-competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles within five years, driven by battery prices dropping to $100 per kilowatt-hour, expanded model availability from automakers like VW and GM, and lower operational costs. Supply chain specialist Lewis Black, chairman of El Monte, discusses a survey revealing US manufacturers' heavy reliance on China for strategic minerals like tungsten and tantalum, highlighting the critical need for diversification and the loss of extraction knowledge in the West. The episode also covers emerging battery technologies such as supercapacitors and wireless charging, while noting the political and logistical challenges of reshoring mineral supply chains.

    Re-Engineering Chemical Production for Carbon Dioxide Removal with Dr. Laura Lammers, Founder and CEO of Travertine

    Dr. Laura Lammers, Founder and CEO of Travertine, explains how her company uses water electrolysis to upcycle sulfate waste (like phosphogypsum) into carbon-negative sulfuric acid while permanently sequestering CO2 in carbonate minerals. She discusses the massive scale of industrial sulfate waste, the business case for fertilizer and mining customers, and the hardware challenges of scaling electrolyzers with divalent ions. Lammers also outlines the path to gigaton-scale carbon removal through enhanced weathering and the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on green hydrogen and carbon credits.
