Commercializing Bio-Based Chemistry for Energy with Tom Swanson - Ep. 85

The energy sector is a category of companies that are responsible for extracting, refining, or supplying consumable fuels, like coal, oil, and gas. These companies are involved in the production and sale of energy and that includes fuel extraction, manufacturing, refining, and distribution. 

So in the upcoming years, with the continuous advancement of technology, we will see massive progression in engineering and innovation that will bring us inventions we can use, which are more sustainable and environment-friendly. 

In this episode of The Chemical Show, join Victoria Meyer as she interviews Mr. Tom Swanson regarding the commercialization of bio-based chemistry for energy. ​​Mr. Swanson currently serves as the Senior Vice President of Sales for Locus Bio-Energy focused on surfactant solutions designed for crude oil recovery, transport, and remediation. 

Lucas Bio-Energy Solutions took that technology looking at what could we use from a fermentation standpoint to take agricultural products and create something that would be a performance product that could be used in oil and gas.

According to Mr. Swanson, he sees that there’s a host of different processing techniques used globally for crude, oil, and gas. But he kept his mind open to understand that people have a reason why they’re doing what they’re doing. Then, he realized the need of making that chemistry fit within the processes that those people are using. And this led him to the path where he is today.  

Also, listen to this podcast as Mr. Swanson shares his story of how he go into the chemical industry, and explains more important details about what Locus Bio-Energy does, the products and the technology that Locus is bringing to market that makes it really unique or valuable, and so much more. So tune in!
