Carbon capture technology is a divisive technology in decarbonization debates. Oft touted by some companies, and with technology that’s existed since the 90s, a pernicious question persists – why hasn’t it scaled significantly?
In this episode of the Keep Cool Show, Nick chats with Adam Goff, Head of Strategy at 8 Rivers, to discuss the challenges and opportunities in scaling carbon capture, as well as why the company is also commercializing technologies in direct air capture and for green hydrogen applications.
Adam and Nick chat about 8 Rivers' unique approach to carbon capture via the Allem Cycle, the company’s approach to licensing technologies, and what other solutions they might bring to market in the future.
Tune in for that, and much more!
