How can biotechnology revolutionize heavy industries and convert carbon waste into a valuable resource?
In this special cross-posted episode—from our friends Erum and Karl at the Grow Everything Biotech Podcast and Messaginglab—we feature Moji Karimi, co-founder of Cemvita, a company leading the way in carbon conversion technology.
Moji shares Cemvita’s journey from a bold vision in industrial biotech to real-world solutions that repurpose carbon emissions into valuable products. From reshaping the energy and mining sectors to exploring applications in aerospace, he highlights the power of harnessing nature’s processes for sustainability.
