"Our approach focuses on creating modular DAC systems that can be deployed where needed most. This decentralization allows for rapid scaling and adaptation to various climates, helping us contribute to the larger goal of CO2 removal much more quickly than traditional, large-scale systems." Rob van Straten, CEO of Skytree. In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet , Dylan talks to Rob van Straten, CEO of Skytree, about the company’s pioneering direct air capture (DAC) technology aimed at combating climate change. Rob explains how Skytree’s compact, modular DAC systems capture CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil-derived CO₂. Skytree, developed initially for the ISS, now helps sectors like vertical farming reduce emissions with locally sourced CO₂. Rob discusses DAC’s role in a circular carbon economy, energy efficiency improvements, and Skytree’s commitment to sustainable materials and customer-driven innovation for scalable climate solutions.

Welcome to this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet. Today, we’re looking at the potential of electrifying ships, hauling cargo, and those involved in tourism to cut up to 3% of the emissions of greenhouse gases on water. If cars can go green, why not ships? Joining me today is Marcelino Alvarez, CEO of Photon Marine, a company manufacturing electric propulsion products for the marine environment. Join us as we delve into the electrification of commercial boat fleets. Marcelino, the CEO of Photon Marine, shares his inspiration for developing cutting-edge electric propulsion systems for commercial boats. He also discusses the significant environmental benefits of reducing emissions and noise pollution. We'll explore the challenges and opportunities in this industry, including the growing interest and demand from fishing communities and tourism operators. Discover how Photon Marine's innovative products are making a tangible difference and their strategic plans for supplying motors and batteries to boat operators. Marcelino is a lifelong boater who grew up fishing and scuba diving in South Florida. As the CEO of Photon Marine, his vision is to preserve the planet’s waterways and oceans through the adoption of electric propulsion technology. Compared to boats powered by internal combustion engines, their product will reduce the total cost of ownership by almost half and require less maintenance without sacrificing performance while eliminating the use of fossil fuels. He began his career in advertising, producing digital campaigns at Crispin Porter + Bogusky and Wieden + Kennedy. Afterwards, he founded Uncorked Studios, a product design firm that helped companies such as Samsung, Nike, Google, Intel, and Adidas bring innovative software and hardware products to market. He holds a B.A. in Political Science from Duke University.
