Decarbonizing Long-Haul Transportation

Paul Gross, CEO and co-founder of Remora, joins the podcast to discuss his company's revolutionary approach to mobile carbon capture technology. At just 28, Gross has raised $60 million to retrofit semi-trucks and locomotives with systems that capture up to 90% of CO2 emissions. Unlike traditional electrification efforts that struggle with heavy-duty transport, Remora's solution works with existing diesel fleets. "We wanted to take carbon capture from being this big over budget construction project to being this product that can be manufactured over and over again," Gross explains. The company turns captured CO2 into beverage-grade liquid carbon dioxide, addressing surprising market shortages. Can retrofitting existing transportation infrastructure accelerate decarbonization faster than waiting for full fleet replacement?
