Outside/InThe papyrus and the volcanoWhile digging a well in 1750, a group of workers accidentally discovered an ancient Roman villa containing over a thousand papyrus scrolls. This was a stunning discovery: the only library from antiquity ever found in situ. But the scrolls were blackened and fragile, turned almost to ash by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.Over the centuries, scholars’ many attempts to unroll the fragile scrolls have mostly been catastrophic. But now, scientists are trying again, this time with the help of Silicon Valley and some of the most advanced technology we’ve got: particle accelerators, CT scanners, and AI.

DER Task ForcePaving the world with solar with Casey Handmer, Founder of Terraform IndustriesWe’re back! This time with Casey Handmer, founder and CEO of Terraform Industries. Terraform is building a system to turn cheap solar electricity into methane. To pull this off they’ll need to commercialize the most performant and lowest-cost electrolysis, carbon capture, and Sabatier reactors ever seen. Casey had a ton of interesting thoughts about how to pull this off from engineering fundamentals in a manner that is tailored to the capacity factor of solar. We also get into the history of the energy industry, space, incumbency, electricity versus gas distribution networks, utility-scale DERs, and a ton more. This...

Climate NowAre cleaner hydrocarbons possible?Just over 70% of humanity’s energy consumption comes from hydrocarbons like coal, oil, and natural gas. The world is dependent on hydrocarbons, not just for energy but also for plastics, contact lenses, and computers, and so many other things. Using hydrocarbons like fossil fuels for energy has also led to huge amounts of climate change-causing emissions. So, knowing how important hydrocarbons are to modern society, how can we also ensure that they do not become our downfall?This week, we sat down with Casey Handmer of Terraform Industries, a startup combining solar power with direct air capture of...

Scaling Climate TechCasey Handmer - TerraForm Industries: synthetic fuels from sunlight and CO2 captured from the airCasey Handmer is the founder of Terraform Industries, a startup that produces synthetic fuels by combining CO2 captured from the air with renewable hydrogen. Fossil fuels are responsible for ~75% of anthropogenic emissions and we need to reduce their consumption as fast as possible. Yet, even under the most optimistic decarbonization scenario, natural gas and oil will still play an important role in our energy systems in 2030-40. Terraform aims to decarbonize this residual fuel consumption by producing synthetic fuels more cheaply than by drilling the Earth. In this episode, we talk with Casey about: ...

It could revolutionize major industries, the economy, the technology we live with in the world around us, and the future of humankind. Sound like a stretch?
