After writing this post in the last newsletter, I’m now tweaking it a bit and sharing again because I’ve just released the episode recorded with Laura Lammers, PhD – founder and CEO of Travertine, a company that is capturing CO2 from industrial processes and permanently sequestering it – through chemistry – into minerals used in products like concrete – so amazing! (see episode notes and link above)  I mentioned a pattern: that recent ProCO360 episodes feature Longpath (“Flattening the Climate Change Curve”), and Carbon America (“Putting Carbon 1 Mile Deep in Colorado”).  I was this week listening to an episode of the “Acquired” podcast (see below), and the hosts sung the praises of their sponsor, Crusoe.  Wow!  Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller was my guest on episode 97, “Turning Gas to Bitcoin!”   

Repeating my last post: many people and industries remain slow to change fossil fuel usage – most climate scientists believe too slow.  It’s exciting to see Colorado businesses developing and scaling innovative science, and partnering with key industries like steel, oil & gas, and concrete, to massively combat climate change.  Want to feel hopeful?  Listen to the episodes listed above!
