The Acclimatise Podcast

In this episode I spoke with Amy Ruddock, the VP of Europe for Carbon Engineering. Amy discusses the need for decarbonisation in the aviation industry and how direct air capture technology can help get us there. Removal solutions will be vital in helping us reach net zero by 2050, so it was exciting to hear about the work carbon engineering are doing to deploy megaton scale air capture technology around the world.

As the population grows and urbanisation increases, the demand for food is becoming a growing concern. One of the technologies addressing this issue is Vertical Farming. Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers. Often, these farms use controlled-environment technology to optimise plant growth and quality. The global vertical farming industry is expected to be worth over 16 billion dollars by 2027. In this episode I spoke with Jamie Burrows, the CEO and Founder of Vertical Future. Vertical Future is a London-based vertical farming company leading the way in hardware and software solutions. We discuss the vertical farming industry, how Jamie has grown the company and what the future looks like for the industry as well as some of his tips for students/graduates looking for employment.  Enjoy!!!
