The Startup Building Edible Insulation to Tackle a 1.4 Gigaton CO2 Problem
Update: 2025-11-04
Description
Heating and cooling drive 40% of all energy-related CO2 emissions, yet 60% of that energy is wasted by bad insulation. Is there a better way?
We got the chance to speak with Theresa Hoffmann, founder of Nanoplume, a UK startup that has developed a revolutionary bio-aerogel 3x more insulating and 60% thinner than traditional materials. The technology is so non-toxic that she famously eats it during presentations.
Listen to learn how this deep-tech solution, based on NASA tech but 75% cheaper than existing aerogels, is targeting the $34 billion cold chain market before disrupting building insulation, and why it represents a massive opportunity for early-stage investors.
