Paul Gross is the co-founder and co-CEO of Remora, a carbon capture solution for heavy-duty trucks. Using work from Christina Reynold's PhD thesis at the University of Michigan (Remora other co-CEO), they created the company in 2020, joined Y Combinator and raised $5.5M to now be a 45 people strong company about to deploy their product at some of the largest American trucking companies.

In this episode, we talk with Paul about:

• his early childhood and what drove his interest for climate
• how the Remora idea originated at Yale and how he assembled a dream team to get the project off the ground
• what carbon capture is, how it works and why it’s a critical technology to fight climate change
• how can we recycle or store carbon and how is this carbon valuable
• the role of hydrogen, electricity and biofuels for trucking decarbonization
• how to scale their system from a pilot unit to 2m trucks
