The Future is Fungi
Dive into the captivating world of fungi with the "The Future is Fungi" podcast, where we explore groundbreaking discoveries and innovations in the mycological universe.
Join us as we converse with leading scientists and trailblazers whose visionary work is steering our planet towards a sustainable future by leveraging the fungal kingdom.
This podcast is for everyone interested to learn about the potential to leverage fungi for environmental solutions, but also specifically scientists who are interested to walk the route of commercializing their research and fungi focused startups looking to grow their companies and learn from other fungal startup peers.
The Future is Fungi
Electromicrobial CO2 Fixation - William Newell
In this episode we are interviewing William Newell for his research on electromicrobial CO2 fixation, and how this can prove to be an important sustainable solution. Do you wonder what that is? Tune in!
As a taster we can say that by using electricity from renewable sources, you can turn CO2 into a liquid acid that a yeast can consume. Thereafter, you can turn the biomass into new use, such as yet fuel, feed or diverse materials.
William Newell is a doctoral researcher from Imperial College of London in the department of bioengineering, and he came 2nd place in the science category in The Future is Fungi Award for his research. We will hear about Williams aspirations to commercialize his research, and what it will take in order to get there.
