In this episode, host Simon Leich chats to Greg about his carbon conversion company's pioneering work in CO2 capture and carbon conversion – turning it into valuable products like sustainable aviation fuel in partnership with @NASA.

Greg discusses @aircompanynyc 's innovative "artificial photosynthesis" technology that combines CO2 and hydrogen to create sustainable fuels, chemicals, and other materials.

🚀 Wondering "can carbon be used as fuel?" Heck yes! Their carbon conversion technology is better than any carbon capture and storage: they're building the technology for sustainable space travel amongst other projects. Hello to the future of space exploration!

Greg shares insights into how they're converting CO2 into fuel, the flexibility of their feedstock sources, the challenges of commercializing complex climate tech, and the importance of partnerships in scaling their cutting-edge carbon capture technology.
