Description

Casey Handmer is the founder of Terraform Industries (TI).TI is pioneering air-to-fuel technology to manufacture methane (natural gas) from the air. Currently, we continue to extract enormous quantities of hydrocarbons from the crust, burn them, and release carbon dioxide. Instead, TI wants to mine the air: displacing the transport of carbon from the crust to the atmosphere.Casey Handler has a PhD in theoretical astrophysics from Caltech, he’s worked at Nasa’s JPL and on Hyperloop One.His blog is at caseyhandmer.wordpress.comTwitter at @CJHandmerTerraform Industries website: terraformindustries.comFor a transcription and further references see multiverses.xyzMy thanks to Mark Shilton, Sam Westwood and Maciej Pomykala for help with this episode.
