    “BetterFeed™ – The tiny pill turning cow burps into productivity

    Cows are upcyclers, turning grass into milk and meat—but their digestion also wastes up to 10 % of feed energy as methane. Methane has a global warming potential ~28–80× higher than CO₂. Our guest, Tom Williams (CEO & co‑founder of Number 8 Bio), explains how his team screened thousands of compounds to create BetterFeed™, a small organic molecule delivered in a slow‑release bolus. Once in the rumen, it prevents methane‑producing microbes from growing and redirects carbon and hydrogen back into growth. In trials, BetterFeed has cut methane emissions by over 80 % while improving weight gain and milk quality. Tom also answers a listener question about taking a technology from TRL 2 to TRL 7, shares why he’s been thinking about methane since his childhood in rural New Zealand, and leaves us with a hopeful note: humans have only scratched the surface of what’s possible.

    This Carbon‑Capture Device Recharges Itself — NORMA’s Supercapacitor DAC

    What if cleaning CO₂ from the atmosphere could be as efficient as charging a battery? In this bite-sized episode, we dive into a breakthrough that does exactly that. We're talking with Dr. Silvia Pugliese, co-founder and CTO of Norma, about her company's revolutionary approach to Direct Air Capture (DAC). Forget energy-intensive, massive plants. Norma is using supercapacitors—the same tech that powers quick acceleration in electric buses—to create a system that captures carbon and reuses the energy to keep going. In this 10-minute episode, you'll discover: How Norma's "supercapacitive direct air capture" works (think of a magic, self-recharging CO₂ vacuum). This isn't just another carbon capture idea; it's a fundamentally new way to think about cleaning our atmosphere, making it more efficient and scalable.

    How Paper Survives Fire: The Art of Biochar with Billie Ireland

    This might be our most unexpected story yet — where science meets art. Lydia meets Billie Ireland, an ecological artist using biochar — carbon made from organic material heated without oxygen — to create striking paper and rose sculptures. Hear how the same process that locks carbon underground can create beauty above it, why pyrolysis doesn’t burn, and what this says about life, death, and transformation. 🌍 Episode 8 of Bite-Size Climate Tech S4 | Related: The Power of Biochar (Innovation Zero, S2E16)

    Ocean Soup Explained: How Alkalinity Draws Down CO₂ (Grace Andrews | Hourglass Climate)

    In this episode of Bite-Size Climate Tech, I sit down with Dr. Grace Andrews to explore Ocean Soup — the idea that adding minerals to the ocean is like adding ingredients to a recipe. Done right, it raises alkalinity, pulls CO₂ from the air back into the sea, and keeps our climate in balance. Done wrong… it’s like adding too much salt. Grace explains: 🌊 Ocean alkalinity enhancement and “the recipe” for safe CO₂ removal 🧪 Why measuring alkalinity and trace elements matters (MRV & EMRV) 🥄 How even hard science can feel relatable when explained through cooking 🌱 A sentence of hope about why this work matters This conversation reminded me of my favourite moment in a meal — a perfectly cooked soup — and how the ocean, like that, is part of life itself. Balanced, nourishing, alive. Recorded ahead of NY Climate Week, with shout-outs to Grace Andrews, Hourglass Climate, [C]Worthy, and Dr. Alicia K. for hosting and driving the ocean CDR conversation. Cheering you all from afar 💚 ▶️ Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWk-fagdkKk #OceanCDR #Alkalinity #ClimateTech #MakeClimateCoolAgain

    Invisible Friends That Make Colour: Biobased Dyes with Lucie Semenec

    Lucie Semenec (New Era Bio) shares how microbes can brew fossil-free dyes — scaling colour production that’s fast, eco-friendly, and full of imagination. She explains it for adults, and then “for an 8-year-old”: little invisible friends making colours, just like in Inside Out. A short but hopeful conversation about curiosity, science, and why the answers to big problems are often hidden in the smallest places.

    How Magnetic Waves Power Ocean Digital Twins & Find Nemo | Brendan Hyland, OIS

    If your friend swam into an underwater cave to find Nemo 🐠, could you still talk to them?With the tech behind Ocean Information Services (OIS), you could. In this episode, founder & CEO Brendan Hyland explains how OIS’s AIIS (Artificial Intelligence Information Services) platform uses advanced magnetic wave communication—similar in principle to the NFC in your smartphone—to transfer data tens of meters through water and even across the water–air boundary. This breakthrough is more than just clever comms: it underpins OIS’s digital twin solutions for real-time subsea monitoring, powering applications in offshore wind, marine infrastructure, and climate resilience. We talk about: 🌊 How magnetic wave tech works (and why it’s different from traditional short-range systems) 📱 NFC in your phone and its underwater twist 🐠 The Nemo cave analogy you won’t forget 🌍 How OIS is helping make our oceans smarter
