    E60: Turning poop into propane

    This week, we’re talking about renewable fuels — specifically cleaner propane. Propane, as it turns out, is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions that not a lot of people are tackling. Dr. Rebecca Boudreaux, President and CEO of Oberon Fuels, talks about the company's work in decarbonizing the global propane sector. Oberon Fuels produces molecules out of bio-waste that can be blended into cleaner propane, and used in various applications, including transportation, industrial, and residential heating. The company leverages existing infrastructure and works with partners in the propane industry to bring renewable fuels to market. Boudreaux also highlights the challenges of commercializing new technologies—including having to spearhead a whole new set of tax regulations.

    E59: Why yes, you actually can recycle EV batteries

    We need battery materials, but we also need to reduce mining and critical minerals extraction and centralizing production outside our borders. So, this week, we’re talking about making batteries from old batteries. Mike O'Kronley, CEO of Ascend Elements, discusses the mission of his company to make batteries more sustainable by producing high-performance cathode materials from recycled batteries. The focus is on NMC batteries, which are primarily used in electric vehicles (EVs) and grid storage. By recycling critical minerals like nickel and cobalt, Ascend Elements helps address supply chain security and reduce the carbon footprint of battery production. The company also solves the problem of battery recycling, debunking the myth that EV batteries end up in landfills.

    E57: Maybe DON’T take venture capital for your climate tech startup

    Every thriving ecosystem needs connectors, support systems—pollinators, in fact. This week, Molly is joined by Jon Bonanno, the managing partner of Factor, to talk about building great climate companies with a combination of human skills, networking and introductions, and smarter ways to raise money. Jon pivoted into climate tech after the attacks of 9/11 left him deeply shaken. He emphasizes the violence and centralization of the fossil economy and the need for a transition to a clean economy that benefits all communities. He also explains the grant-making process and how it can be used as a commercialization tool for companies without requiring them to give up huge amounts of equity in their companies. Factor is a grant writing and advisory firm that helps climate companies navigate the grant application process.

    Ep 55: More paint on Stonehenge, please! The power of climate activism

    Dana R. Fisher, author of “Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action,” discusses the importance of activism in addressing the climate crisis. She explains that while the state and the market have not been able to solve the crisis, civil society has a crucial role to play. Fisher highlights the role of the radical flank, which engages in attention-getting actions to raise awareness and expand the movement (like throwing orange cornstarch on Stonehenge). She emphasizes that these actions are nonviolent and aim to draw more people who are sympathetic to the cause. Fisher also discusses the need for a mass movement that pushes back against fossil fuel interests and works through various channels, including the electoral process and lobbying. And we discuss what it takes to turn attention-getting actions into mass mobilization.
