Welcome to Everybody in the Pool, the podcast where we dive deep into the innovative solutions and the brilliant minds who are tackling the climate crisis head on. I'm Molly Wood. This week, we're talking about carbon capture again. This is a really complicated topic, sometimes a controversial one also. And there are lots of different types of carbon capture you might hear about. Pre-combustion, post-combustion, direct air capture, capture and sequestration. And today's topic, carbon capture and use, sometimes called CCU. In this case, that use is to turn captured carbon into sustainable materials like jet fuel. The company I'm talking to today just raised $645 million to build renewable energy powered facilities that use captured carbon to make sustainable aviation fuel that they say emits 90% fewer emissions overall than conventional jet fuel. So let's get to it. My
