HOW TO GROW CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE - Riccardo Gubbioli
In this podcast, Chris Caldwell CEO of United Renewables Ltd and host of the Conversations on Climate series finds out about one of the next generations of carbon sequestration from fellow LBS MBA, RICCARDO GUBBIOLI.
Riccardo is an Energy Transition & De-Carbonisation Investor and Director of corporate finance at BRILLIANT PLANET.
Their fascinating conversation introduces us to the microscopic world of MICROALGAE and we discover Riccardo’s journey: From Engineering to Renewable Energy to Agricultural Technology and where Ag Tech Meets Carbon Sequestration.
Chris Caldwell learns about the challenges in this sort of cutting-edge business, as well as some of the secrets behind the science and technology that makes this a hot topic.
We get some understanding about the production process, why scale matters, and how Microalgae could play a very important role in the fight for de-carbonisation while providing a very valuable food resource.
Riccardo Gubbioli has done it all in the renewables industry: Consultant, Investment Director, MD and VP. With an MBA and several languages under his belt, he is a true powerhouse in the European energy world.
His 15 years in the game have seen him work across Europe(including advising the European Commission on energy transition investment) and close over half a billion dollars in deals. He is currently DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE FINANCE at CCS scale-up BRILLIANT PLANET.
“…we have a specific terminology which allows us to buy prospect relevant algae for different specific and uses.

“…also we cross-reference that with the amount of carbon they take from the atmosphere, the time it takes them to grow, the energy it takes to grow….so it's obviously a complex matrix…”
