The energy transition will require gigatons of carbon to be captured from the atmosphere each year, and X-Prize winning 8 Rivers is working to cause more of it to be captured than any other organization on Earth. In Episode 14, Michael and Hope are joined by Damian Beauchamp, President and Chief Development Officer of 8 Rivers alongside Ben Eisinger, a fellow Duke engineering student who interned with 8 Rivers over the summer. In the episode, we hear about 8 Rivers' projects across several key energy transition verticals, including zero-emissions electricity production, hydrogen, and direct air capture. We then move into the impacts of the recent Inflation Reduction Act and how students can best position themselves for success in energy.   Keynotes: How 8 Rivers is leveraging direct air capture, hydrogen, and clean electricity to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than any other company on Earth Why infrastructure-scale technology development is critical to making a difference in the energy transition The impacts of the IRA on carbon capture, hydrogen, alternative fuels, and other energy transition verticals
