This Startup Is Deleting 29% Of All CO2 Emissions

Paul Gross and his team at Remora are trying to do something that’s never been done before. They’re building mobile carbon capture devices for commercial trucks and trains. It's a system that captures CO2 from moving vehicles before those emissions ever enter the atmosphere. Then they turn those captured emissions into revenue by selling to customers that can turn the liquified CO2 into new products. In this episode of Hard Tech, YC’s Gustaf Alströmer visited Remora's headquarters outside of Detroit to find out how a recent college graduate with no engineering background is helping transform the $2 trillion transportation industry.
