The Future of Energy: Generating Sustainable Natural Gas with Casey Handmer of Terraform Industries Part 2

Hardware to Save a Planet · 19 Dec 2024 · 37m · Episode 68

What this episode covers

Casey Handmer, founder of Terraform Industries, explains how his company produces sustainable natural gas by vertically integrating solar power, direct air capture, and methanation to minimize capital expenditure. He details the use of calcium hydroxide for CO2 capture and argues that in-house manufacturing is essential to strip unnecessary features and control costs in immature markets. Handmer also discusses the business viability of solar synthetic fuels, the role of IRA subsidies like 45V, and the regulatory hurdles facing solar deployment in the United States.

    Building a decarbonization army with Shashank Samala of Heirloom

    Shashank Samala, co-founder and CEO of Heirloom, explains how his company built North America’s first operational direct air capture facility in Tracy, California, using a novel limestone-based process to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Samala details the technical approach of baking limestone into calcium oxide to create 'trays' that absorb CO2, contrasting this with expensive synthetic materials used by competitors like Climeworks. He discusses the business model, noting that Heirloom sells carbon removal credits to major corporations like Microsoft, Stripe, and Meta, aiming to scale production to 1 million tons per year by leveraging the Inflation Reduction Act’s 45Q tax credits. The episode covers Heirloom’s journey from a garage-stage startup to scaling production, highlighting their goal to build 1,000 facilities globally to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 annually by the 2030s.

    TEA breakdown: green ammonia and synthetic methane

    Shayle Khan, Dr. Melissa Ball, and Dr. Greg Thiel of Energy Impact Partners (EIP) conduct a technoeconomic analysis (TEA) of green ammonia and synthetic methane, explaining why EIP has not yet invested in these sectors due to challenging economics. They break down the cost stacks, highlighting that energy costs for hydrogen production via electrolysis and capital expenditures for scaling down traditional Haber-Bosch processes are the primary barriers to cost-competitiveness. The discussion covers novel approaches like lower-temperature reactors and the specific cost drivers for synthetic methane, including the prohibitive costs of hydrogen and CO2 sources relative to natural gas benchmarks.

    The future of natural gas

    Andy Lubershane, senior vice president for research & strategy at Energy Impact Partners, discusses the complex future of natural gas in a decarbonized world, arguing that eliminating it immediately is impractical due to hard-to-abate sectors like building heating. He highlights upstream methane leakage as an existential threat to natural gas's role as a bridge fuel, while exploring decarbonization pathways such as blue and turquoise hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and carbon capture. Lubershane also warns of a potential 'natural gas death spiral' driven by cheap solar and distributed energy resources, suggesting that preserving existing infrastructure for industrial hydrogen production and residential resilience is critical.

    Andrei Klochko: Reversible Heat Pumps, Decarbonization, and Earth vs Mars | Hard Tech Podcast #6

    Andrei Klochko, founder and CEO of Airthium, explains his company's reversible heat pump technology, which converts electricity to heat and vice versa using a modified Ericsson cycle with fast near-isothermal compression. He argues that decarbonizing industrial processes, particularly by replacing natural gas in food and agro-industry steam generation, is critical for fixing Earth rather than focusing on Mars colonization. Klochko discusses the economic drivers of carbon taxes in Europe, the technical advantages of his engine over Stirling cycles, and the need for long-term energy storage solutions like hydrogen in salt caverns to balance intermittent renewable sources.

    ICYMI... HIBT Lab! Climeworks: Jan Wurzbacher

    Jan Wurzbacher, co-founder and CEO of Climeworks, explains how his company is building the world's largest direct air capture facility, the Orca plant in Iceland, which removes 4,000 tons of CO2 annually. He details the technology's modular design, using filter materials that capture CO2 and release it when heated, allowing for permanent underground storage in basaltic rock. Wurzbacher discusses the company's journey from selling CO2 to greenhouses and Coca-Cola to securing $650 million in Series 6 funding to scale operations. He argues that while emission reductions are critical, removing 10 billion tons of CO2 yearly by 2050 requires scalable technological solutions like Climeworks, which he compares to the rapid cost reduction seen in solar PV.
