Senior Advisor and Co-founder

Paul is a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and a MacArthur Fellow. His research focuses on developing new technologies for converting biomass materials derived from organic, renewable sources into the chemical building blocks of products that are currently sourced from fossil fuels.

 

With expertise that spans reaction chemistry (specific chemical transformations) and catalysis engineering (accelerating reactions), Dauenhauer is opening new pathways for mitigating the environmental impacts of commodity chemicals.

We Go Big. And
Size Does Matter.

A Gigatonne by 2035.

We are focused on only low-energy technology that removes carbon permanently and scales exponentially.

​

We plan to capture and sequester a gigatonne of carbon per year by 2035 to make a meaningful dent in the carbon surplus.

 

Join us in our fight to prevent the worst effects of climate change!
