Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we sit down with Ethan Novek, award-winning chemist and founder/CEO of SolvCor Technologies, to explore how breakthroughs in industrial cooling can unlock major efficiency and carbon reductions. Ethan explains how cooling systems work today, why viscosity plays a critical role in performance, and how his deep background in physical sciences led him to invent and commercialize disruptive cooling technology. We also discuss finding early adopters, maintaining focus as an inventor-entrepreneur, why Houston is a strategic place to build an energy startup, and how innovation in cooling can drive climate progress—showing that economic growth and achieving climate goals don’t have to be a tradeoff.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.
