Suman: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Through BlueUrbn, we assist owners of commercial buildings in quantifying their structures' carbon emissions and pinpointing significant retrofit opportunities and energy-efficient solutions that lead to both cost reductions and the reduction of carbon emissions. BlueUrbn streamlines the process of decarbonizing and enhancing the energy efficiency of real estate, simplifying the complex journey of implementing energy upgrades for property owners.
Yidian: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! The pervasive issue of aquatic plastic pollution, with millions of tons of plastic waste entering our oceans annually, has garnered worldwide concern. These plastics degrade into microplastic fragments, posing a significant threat to marine life and humans. Microplastics, measuring less than five millimeters in diameter, disperse widely across vast geographical areas, making their collection an arduous task.
Arpit: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! The major hurdle between today and a clean energy future is our ability to store energy cheaply, and in large amounts. This is because sun and wind are not always present. Existing solutions do not scale and are expensive. This is known as long duration energy storage problem. Our technology scales to store and supply energy continuously for months in a cheap non-toxic "solid fuel". Once charged, it retains energy with zero loss in time, and can also be transported from one place to another where energy is needed.
