Completing the Industrial Revolution — Casey Handmer PhD

Having brought us along his career path to the present day, Casey presents his newest project: mining the sky. He wants to tackle a little thing called global warming by wiping out humanity's dependence on fossil fuels as quickly as possible. His company Terraform Industries is betting on ever-cheaper solar energy to power chemical reactions to turn water and CO2 from the air into methane, and then whatever carbon products we need. It's ambitious, it's grand scale, and he admits some of his ideas aren't universally agreed ... it's a truly thought-provoking lecture. ———————————————— Casey Handmer, founder of Terraform Industries (and alumnus of ISS2003!), speaking to students at the 43rd Professor Harry Messel International Science School, ISS2023: solve for x — The University of Sydney, Australia, July 2023.
