This Is CDR Ep. 73: Arbor - Compact, Modular, BiCRS with Brad Hartwig + Andres Garcia-Clark
from This is CDR · host OpenAir
In this episode of This Is CDR we are pleased to welcome Arbor CEO Brad Hartwig and CTO Andrés García-Clark to present and discuss the company's novel, compact, and modular BiCRS process.

After SpaceX, he worked as a Flight Test Engineer and Test Pilot at Kittyhawk while volunteering as a search and rescue specialist for Marin County and the CA Air National Guard. After seeing the devastating effects of California's wildfires up close, Brad shifted his attention to contributing to the climate fight. He started Arbor with the rest of the founding team to draw down humanity's legacy carbon emissions. By converting waste biomass into carbon-negative electricity, he and the team feel they also have a compelling and imminent solution to the growing wildfire problem. About Andrés: Andrés García-Clark started working at General Electric, and did so for 13 years, developing advanced natural gas turbines that power cities. After this, he helped SpaceX develop the Raptor full flow staged engine over 5 years, going from clean sheet design to full testing and deploying into starship. Through all these adventures, Andrés gave a lot of thought about our future and the world we are to leave our progeny. He came to the decision that here is where we make our current stand, and that we need to give a lot of focus on working on the carbon problem, which is the labor of our time. This led him to Arbor, where he works with the team developing a novel negative emissions energy plant, which can be used as a tool to remove CO2 from the atmosphere while producing energy. This approach can enable a circular economy where we recycle wastes and clean up the atmosphere at the same time!
