15. Charm's Carbon Offsets, Fitness Trainer Drones, MIT Studies Sound Waves In The North Pole

The Next Byte Podcast · 27 Apr 2021 · 19m

What this episode covers

Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss Charm Industrial, a company that converts biomass waste into bio-oil to sequester CO2 in abandoned oil wells, achieving a net removal of 1.44 tons of CO2 per ton of oil. They then examine the evolution of fitness drones, from early RMIT University pacers to Hongik University's 'Traverse Drone' concept, which uses a wearable 'pod' and real-time form analysis. Finally, they cover an MIT and ONR expedition to the North Pole, where an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and buoys were used to study the 'Beaufort lens' effect on sonar propagation in mixing warm and cold water layers.

    Putting Oil Back Where It Belongs with Peter Reinhardt, CEO & Co-Founder of Charm Industrial

    Peter Reinhardt, CEO and Co-Founder of Charm Industrial, explains how his company converts waste biomass into bio-oil for permanent underground carbon sequestration. He details the hardware challenges of building mobile pyrolyzers to process fluffy biomass like corn stover and the geological engineering required for safe injection wells. Reinhardt also discusses the evolution of the carbon removal market, noting that while tech companies are early adopters, policy-driven markets will be essential for scaling to the hundreds of millions of tons needed.

    Episode 99: Robots mapping the deep ocean - Joe Wolfel

    Joe Wolfel, CEO and founder of Terradepth, explains how his background as a US Navy SEAL inspired the creation of autonomous submersible robots to map the deep ocean. He details Terradepth's 'soc' drone system, which uses two robots to leapfrog through the water column, enabling self-recharging and mutual localization without a surface vessel. Wolfel discusses the economic challenges of the maritime industry, the use of machine learning for data analysis, and the environmental benefits of reducing acoustic pollution compared to traditional ship-based mapping.

    What climatetech can learn from the oceans

    Alissa Peterson, co-founder and executive director of SeaAhead, discusses the intersection of blue tech and climate tech, focusing on decarbonizing shipping through alternative fuels like ammonia and methanol, and expanding offshore wind innovation beyond turbines to cable protection and biodiversity. She details emerging carbon removal strategies, including sinking kelp and ocean alkalinity enhancement using olivine, while highlighting the critical scientific gaps in measurement, verification, and permanence (MRV). Peterson emphasizes that while permitting is difficult, targeted innovation can mitigate ecosystem impacts, arguing that the sector must avoid the boom-bust cycles of previous clean tech waves by securing rigorous science and sustainable business models.

    Episode Thirty-Six: Ignazio Maria Viola

    Professor Ignazio Maria Viola from the University of Edinburgh discusses his ERC Consolidator Grant Dandidrone project, which applies bio-inspired fluid mechanics to create unpowered, dandelion-inspired drones for swarm sensing. He explains the aerodynamic challenge of flying at insect scale, highlighting the discovery of a stable 'separated vortex ring' enabled by the seed's porosity. Viola details the structural engineering hurdles, noting that conventional manufacturing produces objects 100 times heavier than the 0.6mg target, requiring collaboration with Heriot-Watt University and biomedical fabrication techniques. The episode covers applications for environmental monitoring, including air quality sampling and crop health assessment, using biodegradable or self-consuming sensors.
