Climate CEOs: Scaling Startups
Captured Carbon Products: Innovative Conversion + High-Value Materials
14 Oct 2021
Learn how Air Company transforms captured CO₂ into consumer goods & industrial materials, delivering circular solutions & carbon impact.Co-led by CTO and Cofounder Staff Sheehan, Air Company is an investor-backed carbon-to-value innovator recognized by awards such as Time Magazine Invention of the Year, Fast Company World Changing Idea, and NASA Conversion Challenge.Below are two excerpts from the podcast."Our technology is basically artificial photosynthesis. The only inputs to our chemical manufacturing process are carbon dioxide that we capture from point sources or the air, water, and wind and solar electricity. The only things that come out are alcohol products and oxygen gas. It sounds simple, but if it was easy then somebody would have done it before and climate change wouldn't be quite as bad as it is right now. It gets pretty complicated when you get down to the details.""Air Company started out and is currently selling premium consumer goods at the top of their class using the alcohol that we produce from carbon dioxide. Our first product was vodka, which we make from carbon dioxide. Our vodka is in the market in New York City, and it won gold medals at the three largest blind-taste test competitions in the world. When the pandemic hit, our second product was launched, which we accelerated due to the sanitizer shortage that was happening in New York City. We call it Air Spray. It's an 80% ethanol hand sanitizer. We ended up donating 15,000 bottles to underserved communities and first responders during the pandemic. Then our third product is launching shortly. By the time this podcast airs, it may actually be launched, so we have another product that's coming out soon!"-------Entrepreneurs for Impact is the only private mastermind community for investor-backed CEOs, founders, and investors fighting climate change.
