  • This Entrepreneur Is Scrubbing CO2 From The Atmosphere By Giving Rocks "Superpowers" | Forbes

    Here’s a cool idea: Use hot rocks to fight global warming. Heirloom superheats limestone to extract its CO2 and stores the gas far underground. The treated mineral then acts like a wrung-out sponge, reabsorbing greenhouse gases from the air. “We give rocks superpowers to scrub CO2 out of our atmosphere,” says Noah McQueen, who earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. McQueen and cofounder Shashank Samala have raised a $53 million round and signed carbon offset deals with tech giants Microsoft, Stripe and Shopify.
