Scientists are constantly searching for ways to reduce the amount of carbon in the air to help combat climate change.
In this episode, Dr. Alex Lewis talks about Electro-Active Technologies, the company he co-founded in Knoxville, TN, and the initiative to produce carbon-free hydrogen energy. The sophisticated process relies on microbes eating massive amounts of food waste.
Electro-Active Technologies has been awarded major support from the Department of Energy as the company looks for weighs to scale up the process for industrial and municipal use.
Alex shares his scientific and personal journey -- and his connection to Washington County Virginia -- in this wide-ranging conversation.
