In this episode, I talk to Luca Pandolfi, Founder of Eterna Green Energy. He's a clean tech entrepreneur. He's also creating a transition to sustainability by working with forests, biofuels, and local economic development.

Luca shares how Eterna Green Energy originated when he was in college while studying environmental science. In his studies, he noticed, from a business perspective, "that a bunch of businesses that had linear supply chains were not recapturing their finished product in any way and just either turning it into trash or releasing it in the atmosphere." Then he realized that if there’s a way to create an efficient cyclical system, it would be more profitable and environmentally sustainable.

Luca then ended up doing a year of personal research with one of the professors to answer some questions specifically around the fossil fuel industry and whether they could create a cyclical system for creating transportation fuels.

He also relates that the reason why he focused on fossil fuels was because it was “egregiously destroying the environment”. He wanted to create a more efficient, environmentally-friendly process. He details the process and the history of how, with the help of his engineer friend, they were able to create a renewable gasoline.

Listen to the full episode to learn more about this journey, and the many challenges that Luca Pandolfi encountered in his pursuit of doing his part to help save the environment, and also provide jobs to other people.
