Colorado-based startup Cool Planet says it has created a fuel that mixes seamlessly with gasoline and actually removes carbon from the atmosphere
The entrepreneurs and innovators at Colorado-based Cool Planet are betting that a word you’ve probably never heard is about to change the world. “Pyrolysis” refers to a process that involves heating materials to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The result, says Wes Bolsen, Cool Planet’s head of development, is a biofuel that mixes seamlessly with gasoline and actually removes carbon from the atmosphere.
“There’s a massive benefit for climate change,” he says.
