56. Fuel Made From Thin Air, Water and Sunshine with Florian Hildebrand
from Mizter Rad Show · host Rad House
Every time a plane takes off, it burns fuel. Real, liquid fuel. Not batteries. And that's not changing anytime soon. Planes, cargo ships, factories: nearly a third of global CO2 emissions come from industries that simply can't "go electric."My guest today is Florian Hildebrand, mechanical engineer, serial entrepreneur, and someone who walked away from a software company he scaled to 200+ people and €80M raised, because he felt the pull to work on something that actually mattered.Together with a researcher who spent 15 years developing the tech in a German university lab, Florian is building a way to pull CO2 straight from the air, store it in a crystal (think: a battery, but for carbon), combine it with green hydrogen, and turn it into synthetic fuel. Fuel that runs in a Boeing 737 with zero modifications to the engine or the airport.We talk about the science, the economics of bankability, why hydrogen planes aren't the answer (yet), and what a world of energy abundance instead of scarcity could actually look like.Stay curious. Question everything.#MizterRadShow #FutureOfHumanity____Follow Florian's journey on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/florian-alexander-hildebrand/More about Greenlyte and LiquidSolar: https://www.greenlyte.tech/Full episode with transcripts: https://www.mizter-rad.com/episodes
