Game Changers and Transition Makers: How to turn biomass into green steel

Makers, host Elena Lambros sits down with John Mellowes, the chief engineer and co-founder of BioCarbon, an innovative Australian company that is turning low-value biomass streams into high-value carbon renewal products through advanced manufacturing. In this episode, John discusses the importance of decarbonising the steel industry, which is responsible for 7-9% of the world's CO2 emissions, and shares insights into BioCarbon's groundbreaking technology that converts biomass into charcoal and then into products that can replace coal in steel-making. Throughout, John emphasises the importance of embracing and supporting even small steps towards sustainability, warning against letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, and encourages listeners to appreciate and build upon incremental improvements in the industry.
