Description
Welcome to this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet. To mark our 50th episode, we decided to bring back a few of our earliest guests to talk about all things climate tech, and what has changed since our last chat. Erika Boeing of Accelerate Wind expands on bold new developments in turbine technology; Heirloom’s Noah McQueen shares the opening of Heirloom's commercial direct air capture facility, and Peter Reinhardt from Charm Industrial discusses the development of mobile pyrolysis units for carbon removal and carbon negative steel production.
Join us as we explore innovative solutions in the renewable energy industry, with a focus on rooftop wind power and carbon removal. Discover why our guests are optimistic about the future. Listen in to find out how Erika, Noah, and Peter’s companies are making a positive impact on climate change while prioritizing social justice and environmental initiatives.
Erika Boeing is a systems engineer and entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Founder at Accelerate Wind, a company that aims to transform rooftop wind energy in the commercial and industrial sectors by dramatically cutting the cost of small wind turbine technologies. She used to work as a systems engineer at DRS Technologies, where she oversaw the design and development of cutting-edge new energy, water, and waste technologies.
Noah McQueen is Head of Research and Co-Founder at Heirloom, where he creates and scales up the next generation of direct air capture technology. Before joining Heirloom, Noah worked as a graduate research assistant at the University of Pennsylvania and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Peter Reinhardt is the CEO and Founder of Charm Industrial, a company that converts carbon-rich biomass into a liquid that can then be pumped back underground for permanent storage. Prior to Charm Industrial, Peter was the CEO and Co-Founder of Segment, a SaaS customer data platform that was acquired by Twilio for $3.2 billion in 2020. Peter is also a member of the Arcadia board of directors.
