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.

trash the thunderstorm generator does better by deleting it completely and turning it into pure clean oxygen
2:08 What are those clean gases?
This has a similar appeal as "Magic Water", it's number one!
Fossile fuel money to extend fossil fuel industry! It is a scam in disguise.
Why are freight trains tough to electrify?
2 /3 years ago a idea came to my mind, To somehow convert emission gases from cars, factories, mines, etc. into solid cubes. So that the cubes may be used as building blocks for construction, etc. But the main problem was 'somehow'. I thought I had to learn quantum physics in order to be able to build such a device!🙄 But I guess a day would come when we will be completely be free of pollution while still converting energy.
😂😊
Where can I read their research paper? I am interested in knowing more about their technology
Gustaf, please blink 🥲, blink twice if you are held against your will
Do whatever ur beautiful heart desires God is with yoy
