The Startup That Turns Cow Manure Into Jet Fuel
from The Climate Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Energy, Sustainability, and Decarbonization Companies · host Fexingo
Episode 13 of The Climate Tech Podcast takes you inside a California startup that has figured out how to convert agricultural waste — specifically cow manure — into a drop-in sustainable aviation fuel. Lucas walks through the numbers: the company recently closed a $200 million Series B round, plans to produce 30 million gallons per year by 2028, and has signed offtake agreements with three major airlines. Luna asks the tough questions about scalability and feedstock supply. They discuss the carbon intensity score — which is negative, by the way — and why the IRA's 45Z tax credit is the real catalyst. If you've wondered whether biofuels can scale past feel-good pilot projects, this episode gives you a concrete case to follow. #SustainableAviationFuel #CowManure #ClimateTech #Biofuels #RegenerativeAgriculture #CarbonIntensity #45Z #IRA #SeriesB #AgWaste #MethaneCapture #JetFuel #Decarbonization #Startup #Scaling #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
