Sea Change Radio

This week on Sea Change Radio, we dig into the archives and take a look at two min­er­al-based inno­va­tions. First, we speak to Ian Pow­er, an assis­tant pro­fes­sor at Trent Uni­ver­si­ty in Ontario, Cana­da, who is work­ing on a break­through in man­u­fac­tur­ing a CO2-absorb­ing min­er­al called mag­ne­site in a frac­tion of the time that it forms in nature. We talk about his team’s research, learn about the meth­ods they used, and talk about this unusu­al mineral’s poten­tial to fight cli­mate change. Then, we hear from Brent Con­stantz, the founder of Blue Plan­et Sys­tems, a com­pa­ny that has devel­oped inno­v­a­tive car­bon-cap­tur­ing meth­ods for con­crete pro­duc­tion. We dis­cuss Blue Planet’s lat­est projects, look at the indus­try as a whole, and exam­ine some encour­ag­ing con­crete recy­cling solutions.
