In this episode, we sit down with Aaron Fitzgerald, CEO and co-founder of Mars Materials, to learn about their work in nitrilation and modern carbon capture technology. Aaron shares how it all began, what fueled his desire to scale his impact on the environment and how it led to him founding Mars Materials — ultimately adopting this innovative carbon capture technology which transforms CO2 into sustainable products like acrylonitrile, used in a myriad of industries.
We explore how Mars Materials is not only advancing the carbon capture scene but also pursuing a strategic decarbonization plan and shaping a future where carbon pollution becomes more expensive than employing clean technologies. All whilst advocating for equality and inclusivity, especially in supporting underrepresented communities in the realm of entrepreneurship.
