This chapter discusses the motivation behind the speakers' journey to find a solution to climate change and the impact of devastating hurricanes. They explore the connection between climate change and the increasing frequency of hurricanes, and introduce Partano's unique approach to creating concrete without traditional cement, while removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Concrete is one of the world’s biggest sources of carbon emissions. Tech companies, including a startup co-founded by former NBA star Rick Fox, are looking to change that.
This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Isabel Angell, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.
