In this episode of Catching Carbon, we sit down with Josh Raglin, Chief Sustainability Officer at Norfolk Southern Corporation, one of the largest freight railroads in North America. With over two decades of experience in nature-based sustainability solutions, Josh shares how Norfolk Southern is leading the charge to decarbonize rail transport and improve ecosystem health—far beyond the tracks. The conversation kicks off with Norfolk Southern’s groundbreaking partnership with Remora to test mobile carbon capture technology on locomotives, aiming for a potential 70% CO₂ reduction. But this episode goes well beyond carbon capture.

We also explore how railroads are collaborating across the industry—sharing test results, technologies, and strategies—as they prepare for a lower-carbon future. This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of rail innovation and sustainability. Whether you're in logistics, energy, climate tech, or CO₂ utilization, this episode offers a powerful vision of what’s possible when legacy infrastructure meets next-gen thinking.

What if the key to solving carbon emissions was hidden in plain sight—floating all around us in our oceans? In this episode of Catching Carbon, we sit down with Garrett Boudinot, Founder and CEO of VyCarb, to dive into a new frontier in carbon removal: oceanic carbon capture. Garrett shares how VyCarb’s cutting-edge technology is turning the tide on carbon emissions by extracting CO₂ directly from seawater—offering a scalable, nature-inspired solution that could redefine the future of climate tech. Whether you're a climate professional or just carbon-curious, this episode breaks down the science in a way that’s easy to follow and exciting to imagine. We also explore the hot topic of 45Q tax credits and what they could mean for ocean-based capture—can ocean tech finally claim its seat at the table? Tune in for this conversation on innovation, impact, and the massive potential hiding just beneath the surface.

In this episode of Catching Carbon, hosts Jeff Holyoak and Luke Lana sit down with John May, Managing Director at Hamilton Clark, to break down the critical role of investment in advancing carbon capture technologies. From early-stage funding to commercial-scale project financing, John shares insights into how institutional capital is fueling innovation, the challenges of securing funding for first-of-a-kind projects, and why major banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley aren’t stepping into this space—yet. With access to over 400 institutional investors and billions in potential investment, Hamilton Clark is at the forefront of bridging the gap between groundbreaking carbon capture technologies and the capital needed to scale them. If you're an early-stage startup or an investor looking to enter the carbon capture market, this episode is packed with insider knowledge on securing funding, navigating policy risks, and the evolving financial landscape of sustainability.

In this episode, we sit down with Aniruddha Sharma, CEO of Carbon Clean, to explore how carbon capture is evolving to address the 12 billion tons of CO₂ emissions from hard-to-abate industries. With a technology that has been around for 90 years, the challenge isn’t whether carbon capture works—it’s how to scale it efficiently.

The biggest challenge: Finding space to capture CO₂ at an industrial scale Making capture feasible: How Carbon Clean has reduced capture system size by 10x while increasing efficiency The cost of decarbonization: What it takes to transition sectors like transportation and construction What’s driving adoption? The push for carbon-neutral operations and competitive differentiation The road to scalability: Overcoming energy consumption barriers and unlocking the next phase of global adoption.

SPECIAL EPISODE! Catching Carbon joins the High Pressure Podcast to discuss the future of the CO2 distribution market and how it pertains to the industrial gas industry. If you are familiar with CO2 capture and sequestration, but new to the concept of utilization and the needs of the merchant CO2 market, this is a great overview episode! Thank you to George and Marie of Ratermann Manufacturing for this fun crossover episode.

Joining the conversation are three expert panelists, who provide insights into the commercialization of emerging CO2 capture technologies and the introduction of new source gases to the merchant CO2 market. The panel tackles key topics including cost pressures, scale-up challenges, market penetration, and competition within this infant industry. Tune in to hear a deep dive into the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of CO2 supply for the merchant market.

In this special live episode of Catching Carbon, recorded on stage at the 2024 Gasworld CO2 Summit in Nashville, hosts Jeff Holyoak and Luke Lana take a deep dive into the evolving CO2 market. Revisiting bold predictions made two years ago, the duo explores how those forecasts have played out and the unexpected shifts in supply and demand.

With the industry facing significant disruptions, emerging sources of CO2 are rising to meet demand, and traditional suppliers are seeing new challenges. Jeff and Luke discuss how market dynamics are evolving and why the CO2 supply chain of tomorrow will look drastically different from today. Whether you're navigating the current supply challenges or looking to stay ahead of market trends, this episode is packed with insights from industry experts.

Patrick Serfass of the American Biogas Council joins the Catching Carbon Podcast to discuss the evolution of biogas as a viable source of CO2, and the importance of that CO2 being biogenic in nature. The group walks through the process of biogas upgrading, importance of the renewable natural gas, and the possible outlets for the byproduct CO2 that has historically been turned to waste. Additionally, the episode addresses concerns around the viability of the source, and methods to overcome.
