Weaning ourselves off of carbon for energy purposes is front and center in climate work. Less discussed but arguably equally important to decarbonization is the move away from petroleum-based materials to produce the goods we consume.
On this episode of the Wharton Current, host Adriel Barrett-Johnson sits down with Wharton grad Rich Riley, CEO of Origin Materials, a carbon negative materials company. They discuss the importance of carbon negative materials in decarbonization, what it takes for a materials company to be carbon negative, how Origin Materials is scaling, and Rich's experience as CEO.
