Carbon Conversion & Sustainable Space Exploration: the New Era of Aviation

In this episode, host Simon Leich chats to Greg about his carbon conversion company's pioneering work in CO2 capture and carbon conversion – turning it into valuable products like sustainable aviation fuel in partnership with @NASA. Greg discusses @aircompanynyc 's innovative "artificial photosynthesis" technology that combines CO2 and hydrogen to create sustainable fuels, chemicals, and other materials.🚀 Wondering "can carbon be used as fuel?" Heck yes! Their carbon conversion technology is better than any carbon capture and storage: they're building the technology for sustainable space travel amongst other projects. Hello to the future of space exploration! Greg shares insights into how they're converting CO2 into fuel, the flexibility of their feedstock sources, the challenges of commercializing complex climate tech, and the importance of partnerships in scaling their cutting-edge carbon capture technology. 🎧 Dive into the future of sustainable aviation fuels now!---🌿 Hey Climate Tech enthusiasts! Searching for new podcasts on sustainability? Check out the Leaders on a Mission podcast, where I interview climate tech leaders who are shaking up the industry and bringing us the next big thing in sustainable solutions. Join me for a deep dive into the future of green innovation exploring the highs, lows, and everything in between of pioneering new technologies.Get an exclusive insight into how these leaders started up their journey, and how their cutting edge products will make a real impact. Tune in on…YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@leadersonamissionNet0Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7o41ubdkzChAzD9C53xH82Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leaders-on-a-mission/id1532211726…to listen to the latest episodes!00:42 Introduction to Greg Constantine01:36 Greg’s journey to his current role06:56 Air Company’s focus and innovation09:40 Key milestones and commercialization 11:43 Sustainable aviation fuels and rockets14:25 The basics of AIRMADE technology17:46 CO2 capture technology19:02 The biggest challenges in CO2 capture20:42 Commercialization and goals22:37 Partnerships and scale-up plans24:54 NASA collaboration and Deep Space Food Challenge29:59 Challenges of fundraising32:43 Industry outlook and company’s position35:35 Qualities of an Air Company employeeUseful links: 👇Air Company’s website: https://www.aircompany.com/Air Company’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/theaircompany/Greg Constantine’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregoryconstantine/Leaders on a Mission website: https://cs-partners.net/podcasts/Simon Leich’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/executive-talent-headhunter-agtech-foodtech-agrifoodtech-agritech/
