Just over 70% of humanity’s energy consumption comes from hydrocarbons like coal, oil, and natural gas. The world is dependent on hydrocarbons, not just for energy but also for plastics, contact lenses, and computers, and so many other things. Using hydrocarbons like fossil fuels for energy has also led to huge amounts of climate change-causing emissions. So, knowing how important hydrocarbons are to modern society, how can we also ensure that they do not become our downfall?
This week, we sat down with Casey Handmer of Terraform Industries, a startup combining solar power with direct air capture of CO2 to produce synthetic hydrocarbons. How does this work, and will it help? Tune in as Casey explains the importance of hydrocarbons, the potential impacts of switching to synthetic, and how Terraform’s technology is trying to make synthetic, renewable natural gas affordable.
