Joshuah Stolaroff
Joshuah Stolaroff is the co-founder and CEO of Mote, a Los Angeles clean energy company turning woody waste into renewable hydrogen while permanently burying the carbon. A Carnegie Mellon-trained engineer who built one of the first working prototypes for pulling CO2 straight out of the air, he spent eleven years running the carbon capture program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory before co-authoring 'Getting to Neutral,' the report that launched the Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) approach now at the heart of Mote. His aim is blunt: reduce and remove a billion tons of carbon by 2035.
Picarro
Picarro builds laser-based gas analyzers that detect molecules at parts-per-billion (and better) using its patented Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS). Its instruments are deployed by utilities, semiconductor fabs, biopharma cleanrooms, and climate scientists across roughly 90 countries to find methane leaks, measure greenhouse gases, monitor hazardous air pollutants, and track water isotopes.
