Rooted in Change

Enhanced weathering uses finely ground minerals spread on farmland to speed up a natural process: rocks reacting with CO2 to form stable carbon compounds. This process not only captures and stores C02 for thousands of years but also improves soil health and crop yields. Hannes, COO and co-founder at ZeroEx, explains how the company closes the loop in the enhanced weathering space. To issue the right carbon credits, the company models the expected CO2 sequestration potential based on data collected, implements the projects and has each certificate verified. ZeroEx is at an exciting moment in the scale-up journey. Tune in...

What if materials could (almost) magically repair themselves? When I witnessed it firsthand, I thought it was magic - it's "just" science in action. We cover how CompPair is revolutionizing composites with their self-healing technology.

What if carbon removal started with the oceans? In this episode, we dive into how Pronoe is restoring the ocean’s power to capture and store CO₂. Founder and CEO Nicolas explains how their automated water treatment systems, placed downstream from industrial sites, reduce ocean acidification and enhance the natural carbon sink—all while using existing infrastructure. By turning return flows into climate assets, Pronoe supports healthier oceans and a cooler planet. Tune in to learn how this ocean-first, asset-light approach could reshape carbon removal at scale.
