About this episode
Barclay Rogers discusses his company's innovative carbon removal technique and its implications for environmental sustainability.
In this episode we sit down with Barclay Rogers, CEO of carbon-removal startup Graphyte, following the breaking news of their massive 60,000-ton, 10-year carbon removal agreement with JPMorganChase. Barclay breaks down how his company bypassed the massive energy demands and costs of popular Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems using a technique called Carbon Casting—and how cleaning up forest floors to prevent Western wildfires became the ultimate commercial selling point for major corporate buyers.
