Paul Gross
Paul Gross is the co-founder and co-CEO of Remora, a Detroit-area climate hardware company that bolts a carbon-capture device onto the tailpipes of semi-trucks and locomotives, grabbing the CO2 before it ever hits the sky and selling it as beverage-grade gas to breweries and greenhouses. He read a stranger's PhD dissertation on mobile carbon capture during his senior year at Yale, wrote the author a business plan, and convinced her to quit the EPA to build a company with him. Remora has raised roughly $117 million and signed pilots with Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Ryder, Werner, and Cargill.
Twelve
Twelve is a carbon transformation company that uses an electrochemical reactor to turn captured CO2, water, and renewable electricity into the same chemicals and fuels usually drilled out of the ground - including E-Jet, a drop-in sustainable aviation fuel. Founded by Stanford-trained electrochemists, it is building the first industrial-scale CO2 electrolyzer plant in Moses Lake, Washington.
