This is CDR Ep. 77: Carba - Biomass Torrefaction & Burial with Dr. Jones and Prof. Dauenhauer
from This is CDR · host OpenAir
This week we are pleased to welcome Carba founders CEO Dr. Andrew Jones and Senior Advisor Prof. Paul Dauenhauer to This Is CDR to discuss the company's method of long-duration CDR via biomass torrefaction and burial (BTB). About Andrew: Dr. Andrew Jones is an entrepreneur, scientist, inventor, and energy enthusiast. Before founding Carba, Andrew started and built Activated Research Company (ARC), an innovation firm that develops analytical technology for scientists. ARC’s portfolio of products includes a novel NSF-funded detector for pharmaceutical drug development, world-leading technology for CO2 measurement, and tools for analyzing biofuels. He and his work have been the recipient of several awards including Astronaut Scholar, R&D100, NSF Graduate Fellow, 35 and Under Young Entrepreneur Award, and MN Cup Energy/Clean Tech winner. He holds five patents. About Paul: Prof. Paul Dauenhauer is a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and a MacArthur Fellow. His research focuses on developing new technologies for converting biomass—materials derived from organic, renewable sources—into the chemical building blocks of products that are currently sourced from fossil fuels. With expertise that spans reaction chemistry (specific chemical transformations) and catalysis engineering (accelerating reactions), Dauenhauer is opening new pathways for mitigating the environmental impacts of commodity chemicals.
