the endeavor to make our civilization
more eco-friendly. Since diverting waste

114
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:06,399
more eco-friendly. Since diverting waste
 

115
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:08,710
more eco-friendly. Since diverting waste
from landfills is already great, but by

116
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:08,720
from landfills is already great, but by
 

117
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,029
from landfills is already great, but by
using that waste to make bio gas and

118
00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:11,039
using that waste to make bio gas and
 

119
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:13,589
using that waste to make bio gas and
renewable natural gas, Eneria is

reducing methane and other greenhouse

122
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:15,520
reducing methane and other greenhouse
 

123
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,830
reducing methane and other greenhouse
gas emissions. So this could be one very

124
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:17,840
gas emissions. So this could be one very
 

125
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,510
gas emissions. So this could be one very
important puzzle piece towards solving

126
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:19,520
important puzzle piece towards solving
 

127
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,990
important puzzle piece towards solving
the climate crisis. So how does it all

128
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:22,000
the climate crisis. So how does it all
 

129
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,390
the climate crisis. So how does it all
work? First, let's talk about anorobic

130
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:24,400
work? First, let's talk about anorobic
 

131
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,350
work? First, let's talk about anorobic
digestion or AD. Anorobic means in the

132
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:27,360
digestion or AD. Anorobic means in the
 

133
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,430
digestion or AD. Anorobic means in the
absence of oxygen. So we are talking

134
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:29,440
absence of oxygen. So we are talking
 

135
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,750
absence of oxygen. So we are talking
about microorganisms that metabolize

136
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:31,760
about microorganisms that metabolize
 

137
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,710
about microorganisms that metabolize
organic waste in oxygen-free tanks. The

138
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:34,720
organic waste in oxygen-free tanks. The
 

139
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,470
organic waste in oxygen-free tanks. The
outputs of this process are something

140
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:36,480
outputs of this process are something
 

141
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,030
outputs of this process are something
called bio gas, which is mainly methane

142
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:39,040
called bio gas, which is mainly methane
 

143
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,070
called bio gas, which is mainly methane
and carbon dioxide, and digestate, a

144
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:42,080
and carbon dioxide, and digestate, a
 

145
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,910
and carbon dioxide, and digestate, a
mixture of nutrient-rich solids and

146
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:43,920
mixture of nutrient-rich solids and
 

147
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:46,390
mixture of nutrient-rich solids and
liquids that can be used as fertilizer.

148
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:46,400
liquids that can be used as fertilizer.
 

149
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,110
liquids that can be used as fertilizer.
When purified, bio gas becomes renewable

150
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:49,120
When purified, bio gas becomes renewable
 

151
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,750
When purified, bio gas becomes renewable
natural gas or RNG, which is the same as

152
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:51,760
natural gas or RNG, which is the same as
 

153
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,509
natural gas or RNG, which is the same as
the stuff we get from the ground since

154
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:53,519
the stuff we get from the ground since
 

155
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:55,350
the stuff we get from the ground since
both are mainly methane. The difference

156
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:55,360
both are mainly methane. The difference
 

157
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,750
both are mainly methane. The difference
is that RNG recycles carbon that's

158
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:57,760
is that RNG recycles carbon that's
 

159
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,750
is that RNG recycles carbon that's
already in the biosphere and prevents

160
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:59,760
already in the biosphere and prevents
 

161
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,670
already in the biosphere and prevents
methane emissions from landfills and

162
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:01,680
methane emissions from landfills and
 

163
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,670
methane emissions from landfills and
agriculture. So there's a reduction in

164
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:03,680
agriculture. So there's a reduction in
 

165
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,070
agriculture. So there's a reduction in
overall greenhouse gas impact. We don't

166
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:06,080

00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:32,080
So that's a brief introduction to how
 

493
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,070
So that's a brief introduction to how
this whole process works. But to get

494
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:34,080
this whole process works. But to get
 

495
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,310
this whole process works. But to get
more information, let's talk to engineer

496
00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:36,320
more information, let's talk to engineer
 

497
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,710
more information, let's talk to engineer

508
00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:50,880
proprietary systems worldwide. Here's
 

509
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,190
proprietary systems worldwide. Here's
that discussion now. Sasha, thanks so

510
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:53,200
that discussion now. Sasha, thanks so
 

511
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,190
that discussion now. Sasha, thanks so
much for joining me. Uh, so I just kind

512
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:55,200
much for joining me. Uh, so I just kind
 

513
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,190
much for joining me. Uh, so I just kind
of took my viewers through the process

514
00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:57,200
of took my viewers through the process
 

515
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,110
of took my viewers through the process
briefly. Uh, but now we can definitely

516
00:09:59,110 --> 00:09:59,120
briefly. Uh, but now we can definitely
 

517
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,030
briefly. Uh, but now we can definitely
get into more detail. So talking about

518
00:10:01,030 --> 00:10:01,040
get into more detail. So talking about
 

519
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,630
get into more detail. So talking about
waste, we're we're the whole process is

520
00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:02,640
waste, we're we're the whole process is
 

521
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,030
waste, we're we're the whole process is
starting with waste. So um let's get a

522
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:05,040
starting with waste. So um let's get a
 

523
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,470
starting with waste. So um let's get a
little more specific. What kind of waste

524
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:06,480
little more specific. What kind of waste
 

525
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,829
little more specific. What kind of waste
are we talking about? What what are the

526
00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:07,839
are we talking about? What what are the
 

527
00:10:07,839 --> 00:10:09,269
are we talking about? What what are the
different feed stock sources you guys

528
00:10:09,269 --> 00:10:09,279
different feed stock sources you guys
 

529
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:11,509
different feed stock sources you guys
use? That sort of thing.

530
00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:11,519
use? That sort of thing.
 

531
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:14,389
use? That sort of thing.
>> Yeah, great. So we can pretty much

532
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:14,399
>> Yeah, great. So we can pretty much
 

533
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:15,910
>> Yeah, great. So we can pretty much
digest

534
00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:15,920
digest
 

535
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,790
digest
uh a multitude of organic waste that's

536
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:18,800
uh a multitude of organic waste that's
 

537
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,190
uh a multitude of organic waste that's
produced in our society. Uh we break it

538
00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:21,200
produced in our society. Uh we break it
 

539
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,509
produced in our society. Uh we break it
down into three main chunks. Uh the

540
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:23,519
down into three main chunks. Uh the
 

541
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:25,670
down into three main chunks. Uh the
first one being sewage sludge. So that's

542
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:25,680
first one being sewage sludge. So that's
 

543
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,269
first one being sewage sludge. So that's
like the waste water that you flush down

544
00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:27,279
like the waste water that you flush down
 

545
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,430
like the waste water that you flush down
the toilet and once you separate the

546
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:29,440
the toilet and once you separate the
 

547
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,069
the toilet and once you separate the
solids from the liquids, it's um that's

548
00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:32,079
solids from the liquids, it's um that's
 

549
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:34,069
solids from the liquids, it's um that's
the one big chunk waste water. The

550
00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:34,079
the one big chunk waste water. The
 

551
00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:36,550
the one big chunk waste water. The
second one is a lot of the organics that

552
00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:36,560
second one is a lot of the organics that
 

553
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,310
second one is a lot of the organics that
coming from solid waste. So these are

554
00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:38,320
coming from solid waste. So these are
 

555
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,310
coming from solid waste. So these are
what you you know drag out to your curb

556
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:40,320
what you you know drag out to your curb
 

557
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,670
what you you know drag out to your curb
at the uh end of the week. Um this could

558
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:43,680
at the uh end of the week. Um this could
 

559
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:46,069
at the uh end of the week. Um this could
include green bin organics like food

560
00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:46,079
include green bin organics like food
 

561
00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:47,990
include green bin organics like food
waste, but it could also be things that

562
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:48,000
waste, but it could also be things that
 

563
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,509
waste, but it could also be things that
you've tossed out in your black bag

564
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:49,519
you've tossed out in your black bag
 

565
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:52,949
you've tossed out in your black bag
trash. And then uh the third one is on

566
00:10:52,949 --> 00:10:52,959
trash. And then uh the third one is on
 

567
00:10:52,959 --> 00:10:54,630
trash. And then uh the third one is on
the agricultural side. There's a lot of

568
00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:54,640
the agricultural side. There's a lot of
 

569
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,030
the agricultural side. There's a lot of
organic residue that is left behind by

570
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:57,040
organic residue that is left behind by
 

571
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,030
organic residue that is left behind by
the farmers. So, think when you've

572
00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:59,040
the farmers. So, think when you've
 

573
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,949
the farmers. So, think when you've
harvested the corn, you still have all

574
00:11:00,949 --> 00:11:00,959
harvested the corn, you still have all
 

575
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:02,630
harvested the corn, you still have all
that corn stock left over. Or when

576
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:02,640
that corn stock left over. Or when
 

577
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,310
that corn stock left over. Or when
you've harvested the wheat, there's all

578
00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:04,320
you've harvested the wheat, there's all
 

579
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,790
you've harvested the wheat, there's all
the straw left over. And these products

580
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:06,800
the straw left over. And these products
 

581
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,790
the straw left over. And these products
have in the past just been left in the

582
00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:08,800
have in the past just been left in the
 

583
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,190
have in the past just been left in the
field to decompose and act as a small

584
00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:11,200
field to decompose and act as a small
 

585
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,269
field to decompose and act as a small
amount as a fertilizer. But if you

586
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:13,279
amount as a fertilizer. But if you
 

587
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:14,790
amount as a fertilizer. But if you
harvest those crops, bring them to a

588
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:14,800
harvest those crops, bring them to a
 

589
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,710
harvest those crops, bring them to a
biodigestertor, you can actually extract

590
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:16,720
biodigestertor, you can actually extract
 

591
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,350
biodigestertor, you can actually extract
the organics into bio gas and then still

592
00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:19,360
the organics into bio gas and then still
 

593
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,190
the organics into bio gas and then still
return the fertilizer value out to the

594
00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:21,200
return the fertilizer value out to the
 

595
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,389
return the fertilizer value out to the
field

596
00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:22,399
field
 

597
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:25,110
field
>> and and and maybe one small additional

598
00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:25,120
>> and and and maybe one small additional
 

599
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,430
>> and and and maybe one small additional
one is on the agri food side. So we

600
00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:27,440
one is on the agri food side. So we
 

601
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,430
one is on the agri food side. So we
process a lot of you know agricultural

602
00:11:29,430 --> 00:11:29,440
process a lot of you know agricultural
 

603
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,389
process a lot of you know agricultural
inputs into into food. So think potato

604
00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:32,399
inputs into into food. So think potato
 

605
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:35,430
inputs into into food. So think potato
chips. Uh those you know potatoes that

606
00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:35,440
chips. Uh those you know potatoes that
 

607
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,269
chips. Uh those you know potatoes that
don't quite meet the spec or the maybe

608
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:37,279
don't quite meet the spec or the maybe
 

609
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,509
don't quite meet the spec or the maybe
the off offsp spec potato chips

610
00:11:39,509 --> 00:11:39,519
the off offsp spec potato chips
 

611
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,269
the off offsp spec potato chips
themselves can be brought out and

612
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:41,279
themselves can be brought out and
 

613
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,190
themselves can be brought out and
digested as well.

614
00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:43,200
digested as well.
 

615
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,630
digested as well.
>> Cool. Yeah, that sounds very versatile.

616
00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:44,640
>> Cool. Yeah, that sounds very versatile.
 

617
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,389
>> Cool. Yeah, that sounds very versatile.
I mean uh so it's a lot of literally

618
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:46,399
I mean uh so it's a lot of literally
 

619
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:47,590
I mean uh so it's a lot of literally
just the trash we're putting in the

620
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:47,600
just the trash we're putting in the
 

621
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,910
just the trash we're putting in the
black bins and then plus uh you know uh

622
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:49,920
black bins and then plus uh you know uh
 

623
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,470
black bins and then plus uh you know uh
resources from agricultural industry.

624
00:11:52,470 --> 00:11:52,480
resources from agricultural industry.
 

625
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,949
resources from agricultural industry.
That sounds great. I mean in terms of

626
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:54,959
That sounds great. I mean in terms of
 

627
00:11:54,959 --> 00:11:56,949
That sounds great. I mean in terms of
like so I saw you know a lot of footage

628
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:56,959
like so I saw you know a lot of footage
 

629
00:11:56,959 --> 00:11:58,949
like so I saw you know a lot of footage
obviously there tre tremendous amounts

630
00:11:58,949 --> 00:11:58,959
obviously there tre tremendous amounts
 

631
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:01,110
obviously there tre tremendous amounts
of trash that are being delivered. um

632
00:12:01,110 --> 00:12:01,120
of trash that are being delivered. um
 

633
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,110
of trash that are being delivered. um
and then being sorted in different ways.

634
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:03,120
and then being sorted in different ways.
 

635
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,870
and then being sorted in different ways.
I mean I I can't even begin to imagine

636
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:04,880
I mean I I can't even begin to imagine
 

637
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,710
I mean I I can't even begin to imagine
the challenges that are associated with

638
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:06,720
the challenges that are associated with
 

639
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,550
the challenges that are associated with
that process of of of sorting and

640
00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:08,560
that process of of of sorting and
 

641
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:11,110
that process of of of sorting and
everything. So um what are like can you

642
00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:11,120
everything. So um what are like can you
 

643
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,550
everything. So um what are like can you
tell us about some of the barriers

644
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:12,560
tell us about some of the barriers
 

645
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,310
tell us about some of the barriers
associated with that with that uh

646
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:14,320
associated with that with that uh
 

647
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,670
associated with that with that uh
process? Are there like big

648
00:12:15,670 --> 00:12:15,680
process? Are there like big
 

649
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,990
process? Are there like big
inefficiencies that were difficult to

650
00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:18,000
inefficiencies that were difficult to
 

651
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,829
inefficiencies that were difficult to
solve initially or or or even remain

652
00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:19,839
solve initially or or or even remain
 

653
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:23,110
solve initially or or or even remain
unsolved or how does all that work?

654
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:23,120
unsolved or how does all that work?
 

655
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,509
unsolved or how does all that work?
>> Yeah. So, anytime you're separating

656
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:25,519
>> Yeah. So, anytime you're separating
 

657
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:27,670
>> Yeah. So, anytime you're separating
waste, it's all just about finding out

658
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:27,680
waste, it's all just about finding out
 

659
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:29,750
waste, it's all just about finding out
what is the, you know, the specific

660
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:29,760
what is the, you know, the specific
 

661
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,670
what is the, you know, the specific
difference between the the the pile of

662
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:31,680
difference between the the the pile of
 

663
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,829
difference between the the the pile of
trash. Um, metal is a very easy one to

664
00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:33,839
trash. Um, metal is a very easy one to
 

665
00:12:33,839 --> 00:12:36,069
trash. Um, metal is a very easy one to
separate because we have magnets. Uh,

666
00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:36,079
separate because we have magnets. Uh,
 

667
00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:38,389
separate because we have magnets. Uh,
likewise, size separation is very

668
00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:38,399
likewise, size separation is very
 

669
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:40,629
likewise, size separation is very
typical. However, before you size

670
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:40,639
typical. However, before you size
 

671
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:42,230
typical. However, before you size
separate, you usually have to tear open

672
00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:42,240
separate, you usually have to tear open
 

673
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,750
separate, you usually have to tear open
the bags. So, that that's where we

674
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:43,760
the bags. So, that that's where we
 

675
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,750
the bags. So, that that's where we
usually start in a waste separation

676
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:45,760
usually start in a waste separation
 

677
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,910
usually start in a waste separation
plant. It's we'll tear open the bags.

678
00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:47,920
plant. It's we'll tear open the bags.
 

679
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,030
plant. It's we'll tear open the bags.
You know, you throw it out in a big

680
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:49,040
You know, you throw it out in a big
 

681
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,550
You know, you throw it out in a big
black garbage bag. It's very difficult

682
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:50,560
black garbage bag. It's very difficult
 

683
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:52,870
black garbage bag. It's very difficult
to separate what's inside that bag. So

684
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:52,880
to separate what's inside that bag. So
 

685
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,790
to separate what's inside that bag. So
we'll usually tear that open and then do

686
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:54,800
we'll usually tear that open and then do
 

687
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,949
we'll usually tear that open and then do
some level of size separation. Could be

688
00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:56,959
some level of size separation. Could be
 

689
00:12:56,959 --> 00:12:59,110
some level of size separation. Could be
a disc screen, could be a trauml screen.

690
00:12:59,110 --> 00:12:59,120
a disc screen, could be a trauml screen.
 

691
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,790
a disc screen, could be a trauml screen.
These are things that they'll have, you

692
00:13:00,790 --> 00:13:00,800
These are things that they'll have, you
 

693
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,190
These are things that they'll have, you
know, a dinner plate size opening and

694
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:03,200
know, a dinner plate size opening and
 

695
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,910
know, a dinner plate size opening and
you let everything bigger than that pass

696
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:05,920
you let everything bigger than that pass
 

697
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,910
you let everything bigger than that pass
over and everything smaller go through.

698
00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:07,920
over and everything smaller go through.
 

699
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,470
over and everything smaller go through.
And then we'll start getting into those

700
00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:10,480
And then we'll start getting into those
 

701
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,509
And then we'll start getting into those
extrusion to separate organic flowable

702
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:13,519
extrusion to separate organic flowable
 

703
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,150
extrusion to separate organic flowable
material from more fibrous and solid

704
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:16,160
material from more fibrous and solid
 

705
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,470
material from more fibrous and solid
material. We'll use magnets. we'll use

706
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:18,480
material. We'll use magnets. we'll use
 

707
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,150
material. We'll use magnets. we'll use
something called an eddiurren which

708
00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:20,160
something called an eddiurren which
 

709
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,550
something called an eddiurren which
actually separates aluminum through kind

710
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:22,560
actually separates aluminum through kind
 

711
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,870
actually separates aluminum through kind
of an inverse of a magnet. And then

712
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:24,880
of an inverse of a magnet. And then
 

713
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,310
of an inverse of a magnet. And then
lastly with the with optical sorting you

714
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:28,320
lastly with the with optical sorting you
 

715
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,910
lastly with the with optical sorting you
can actually separate even PET HDP and a

716
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:31,920
can actually separate even PET HDP and a
 

717
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,150
can actually separate even PET HDP and a
lot of the other plastics and recyclable

00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:55,279
there's, you know, big starter motors or
 

741
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:57,829
there's, you know, big starter motors or
an engine block. Those are difficult for

00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:57,839
an engine block. Those are difficult for
 

743
00:13:57,839 --> 00:13:59,910
an engine block. Those are difficult for
every waste plant. So, they tend to get

every waste plant. So, they tend to get
 

745
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,230
every waste plant. So, they tend to get
sorted out early in the process

a a shredder. But um the ones that are
 

751
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,389
a a shredder. But um the ones that are
actually really tricky are ropes. Ropes

752
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:10,399
actually really tricky are ropes. Ropes
 

753
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:13,269
actually really tricky are ropes. Ropes
and anything long and stringy because we

754
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:13,279
and anything long and stringy because we

and anything long and stringy because we
have a lot of rotating components. And

756
00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:15,600
have a lot of rotating components. And
 

757
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,350
have a lot of rotating components. And
those rotating components tend to just

758
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:17,360
those rotating components tend to just
 

759
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,590
those rotating components tend to just
you know wrap those up. So a lot of the

760
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:19,600
you know wrap those up. So a lot of the
 

761
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,829
you know wrap those up. So a lot of the
design is as simple as it sounds. It's

762
00:14:21,829 --> 00:14:21,839
design is as simple as it sounds. It's

00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:24,470
design is as simple as it sounds. It's
just to kind of shred or sorry not shred

just can't like just thinking about how
many things go into the trash, right?

776
00:14:37,590 --> 00:14:37,600
many things go into the trash, right?
 

777
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,030
many things go into the trash, right?
There's so many variables and like

778
00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:39,040
There's so many variables and like
 

779
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,350
There's so many variables and like
unforeseen things that could that could

780
00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:41,360
unforeseen things that could that could
 

781
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,350
unforeseen things that could that could
crop up. But uh but but it looks like I

782
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:43,360
crop up. But uh but but it looks like I
 

783
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,710
crop up. But uh but but it looks like I
mean you guys obviously have scaled up

784
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:44,720
mean you guys obviously have scaled up
 

785
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,629
mean you guys obviously have scaled up
tremendously. So so this uh sorting

786
00:14:46,629 --> 00:14:46,639
tremendously. So so this uh sorting
 

787
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:49,990
tremendously. So so this uh sorting
process works very well. So now let's

788
00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:50,000
process works very well. So now let's
 

789
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,430
process works very well. So now let's
let's move on, right? We've got the

790
00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:51,440
let's move on, right? We've got the
 

791
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,910
let's move on, right? We've got the
waste in the form that you need. So

792
00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:53,920
waste in the form that you need. So
 

793
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,750
waste in the form that you need. So
what's this is the this is the most

794
00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:55,760
what's this is the this is the most
 

795
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,310
what's this is the this is the most
interesting part to me um in terms of

796
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:58,320
interesting part to me um in terms of
 

797
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,910
interesting part to me um in terms of

coming from like a chemistry molecular
 

799
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,509
coming from like a chemistry molecular
biology background. We have these

800
00:15:01,509 --> 00:15:01,519
biology background. We have these
 

801
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:04,150
biology background. We have these
bacteria. what are they doing? H how is

802
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:04,160
bacteria. what are they doing? H how is
 

803
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,670

00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:05,680
it happening mechanistically that
 

805
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,069
it happening mechanistically that
they're taking uh this this waste and

806
00:15:08,069 --> 00:15:08,079
they're taking uh this this waste and
 

807
00:15:08,079 --> 00:15:10,629
they're taking uh this this waste and
making bio gas and fertilizer and and

00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:12,800
that sort of stuff?
 

811
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,870
that sort of stuff?
>> Yeah, it's actually, you know, a process

812
00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:14,880
>> Yeah, it's actually, you know, a process
 

813
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,790
>> Yeah, it's actually, you know, a process
that's been around for, you could argue,

814
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:16,800
that's been around for, you could argue,
 

815
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,509
that's been around for, you could argue,
you know, billions of years. the all of

816
00:15:19,509 --> 00:15:19,519
you know, billions of years. the all of
 

817
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:21,509
you know, billions of years. the all of
our fossil fuels that we're currently

818
00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:21,519
our fossil fuels that we're currently
 

819
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:23,670
our fossil fuels that we're currently
consuming now actually originated in a

820
00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:23,680
consuming now actually originated in a
 

821
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,829
consuming now actually originated in a
very similar process of anorobic

822
00:15:25,829 --> 00:15:25,839
very similar process of anorobic
 

823
00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:28,870
very similar process of anorobic
digestion and then some additional ge

824
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:28,880
digestion and then some additional ge
 

825
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,189
digestion and then some additional ge
geological processes that heat and

826
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:31,199
geological processes that heat and
 

827
00:15:31,199 --> 00:15:33,350
geological processes that heat and
pressure and converted into the fossil

828
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:33,360
pressure and converted into the fossil
 

829
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,350
pressure and converted into the fossil
fuels we know. But in the end, we're

830
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:35,360
fuels we know. But in the end, we're
 

831
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,670
fuels we know. But in the end, we're
just taking that original anorobic

832
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:37,680
just taking that original anorobic
 

833
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,230
just taking that original anorobic
digestion of plankton and algae and and

834
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:40,240
digestion of plankton and algae and and
 

835
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,150
digestion of plankton and algae and and
all those other organic material and

836
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:42,160
all those other organic material and
 

837
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,150
all those other organic material and
just bringing it into a much shorter

838
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:44,160
just bringing it into a much shorter
 

839
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,389
just bringing it into a much shorter
period of time. And essentially what's

840
00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:46,399
period of time. And essentially what's
 

841
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:48,629
period of time. And essentially what's
happening is you know you have four

842
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:48,639
happening is you know you have four
 

843
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:50,230
happening is you know you have four
stages. You have hydraysis,

844
00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:50,240
stages. You have hydraysis,
 

845
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,470
stages. You have hydraysis,
acettogenesis, acettogenesis and then

846
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:52,480
acettogenesis, acettogenesis and then
 

847
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,629
acettogenesis, acettogenesis and then
followed by methanogenesis.

848
00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:54,639
followed by methanogenesis.
 

849
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:56,949
followed by methanogenesis.
And it's just a combination of biomass

850
00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:56,959
And it's just a combination of biomass
 

851
00:15:56,959 --> 00:16:00,310
And it's just a combination of biomass
that's eating up these organic materials

852
00:16:00,310 --> 00:16:00,320
that's eating up these organic materials
 

853
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,670
that's eating up these organic materials
and converting it to CO2

854
00:16:03,670 --> 00:16:03,680
and converting it to CO2
 

855
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,509
and converting it to CO2
uh some other trace gases and methane

856
00:16:07,509 --> 00:16:07,519
uh some other trace gases and methane
 

857
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:08,949
uh some other trace gases and methane
and and that's what we're harnessing

858
00:16:08,949 --> 00:16:08,959
and and that's what we're harnessing
 

859
00:16:08,959 --> 00:16:10,470
and and that's what we're harnessing
throughout the process. Very

860
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:10,480
throughout the process. Very
 

861
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,790
throughout the process. Very
interestingly, it's it it is a

862
00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:12,800
interestingly, it's it it is a
 

863
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,189
interestingly, it's it it is a
combination of bacteria and archa. And

864
00:16:15,189 --> 00:16:15,199
combination of bacteria and archa. And
 

865
00:16:15,199 --> 00:16:17,749
combination of bacteria and archa. And
there and these archa are really quite

866
00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:17,759
there and these archa are really quite
 

867
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:19,670
there and these archa are really quite
fascinating because they've been around

868
00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:19,680
fascinating because they've been around
 

869
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,110
fascinating because they've been around
since,

870
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:21,120
since,
 

871
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,269
since,
>> you know, billion years. And there's no

872
00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:23,279
>> you know, billion years. And there's no
 

873
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:25,509
>> you know, billion years. And there's no
known bacteria that can do that process

874
00:16:25,509 --> 00:16:25,519
known bacteria that can do that process
 

875
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:29,189
known bacteria that can do that process
of converting um hydrogen and acetic

876
00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:29,199
of converting um hydrogen and acetic
 

877
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:32,470
of converting um hydrogen and acetic
acid into methane. And those archa are

878
00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:32,480
acid into methane. And those archa are
 

879
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,310
acid into methane. And those archa are
really what are are being exploited

880
00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:34,320
really what are are being exploited
 

881
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,150
really what are are being exploited
here. And we're doing so in a very much

882
00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:36,160
here. And we're doing so in a very much
 

883
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,670
here. And we're doing so in a very much
an engineering process. You know, we

884
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:37,680
an engineering process. You know, we
 

885
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,550
an engineering process. You know, we
give them nice clean tanks with a

886
00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:40,560
give them nice clean tanks with a
 

887
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,350
give them nice clean tanks with a
perfectly conditioned environment of 38

888
00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:43,360
perfectly conditioned environment of 38
 

889
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,150
perfectly conditioned environment of 38
to 40 degrees C. We mix it very

890
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:46,160
to 40 degrees C. We mix it very
 

891
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,749
to 40 degrees C. We mix it very
intensely so that it's nice and

892
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:47,759
intensely so that it's nice and
 

893
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:50,230
intensely so that it's nice and
homogeneous and then you just feed them

894
00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:50,240
homogeneous and then you just feed them
 

895
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,710
homogeneous and then you just feed them
and kind of waste them periodically and

896
00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:52,720
and kind of waste them periodically and
 

897
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,389
and kind of waste them periodically and
they do the rest for us.

898
00:16:54,389 --> 00:16:54,399
they do the rest for us.
 

899
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:55,990
they do the rest for us.
>> That is fascinating. I mean, yeah, it

900
00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:56,000
>> That is fascinating. I mean, yeah, it
 

901
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,470
>> That is fascinating. I mean, yeah, it
it's it's it's we can't always think

902
00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:58,480
it's it's it's we can't always think
 

903
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,749
it's it's it's we can't always think
that way of just like all of those

904
00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:59,759
that way of just like all of those
 

905
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:01,350
that way of just like all of those
fossil fuels that we find in the earth,

906
00:17:01,350 --> 00:17:01,360
fossil fuels that we find in the earth,
 

907
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,949
fossil fuels that we find in the earth,
they were created by these similar

908
00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:02,959
they were created by these similar
 

909
00:17:02,959 --> 00:17:04,549
they were created by these similar
processes. we just kind of you're

910
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:04,559
processes. we just kind of you're
 

911
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:06,309
processes. we just kind of you're
isolating them and giving them the ideal

912
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:06,319
isolating them and giving them the ideal
 

913
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,710
isolating them and giving them the ideal
conditions and uh you know uh pressurize

914
00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:08,720
conditions and uh you know uh pressurize
 

915
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,909
conditions and uh you know uh pressurize
everything and just uh it's uh mimicking

916
00:17:11,909 --> 00:17:11,919
everything and just uh it's uh mimicking
 

917
00:17:11,919 --> 00:17:14,069
everything and just uh it's uh mimicking
uh natural processes just just speeding

918
00:17:14,069 --> 00:17:14,079
uh natural processes just just speeding
 

919
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:17,510
uh natural processes just just speeding
them up incredibly. But um so it's very

920
00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:17,520
them up incredibly. But um so it's very
 

921
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,710
them up incredibly. But um so it's very
interesting to me. I mean it seems like

922
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:18,720
interesting to me. I mean it seems like
 

923
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,710
interesting to me. I mean it seems like
this area is is experiencing a lot of

924
00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:20,720
this area is is experiencing a lot of
 

925
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,829
this area is is experiencing a lot of
breakthrough and the mind kind of goes

926
00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:23,839
breakthrough and the mind kind of goes
 

927
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:25,510
breakthrough and the mind kind of goes
wild, right? We're thinking into the

928
00:17:25,510 --> 00:17:25,520
wild, right? We're thinking into the
 

929
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,710
wild, right? We're thinking into the
future. We're thinking of the

930
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:26,720
future. We're thinking of the
 

931
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,270
future. We're thinking of the
potentiality for like a truly circular

932
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:29,280
potentiality for like a truly circular
 

933
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,230
potentiality for like a truly circular
economy where just like 100% of all of

934
00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:32,240
economy where just like 100% of all of
 

935
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,630
economy where just like 100% of all of
our waste is turned entirely into

936
00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:34,640
our waste is turned entirely into
 

937
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,150
our waste is turned entirely into
renewable energy that supports

938
00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:36,160
renewable energy that supports
 

939
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,230
renewable energy that supports
everybody. That's I mean it's kind of a

940
00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:38,240
everybody. That's I mean it's kind of a
 

941
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,870
everybody. That's I mean it's kind of a
pipe dream, but is that realistic? Are

942
00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:40,880
pipe dream, but is that realistic? Are
 

943
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,110
pipe dream, but is that realistic? Are
we anywhere near that kind of a

944
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:43,120
we anywhere near that kind of a
 

945
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,950
we anywhere near that kind of a
scenario? What do you envision for the

946
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:44,960
scenario? What do you envision for the
 

947
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,190
scenario? What do you envision for the
future with this technology?

948
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:47,200
future with this technology?
 

949
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,630
future with this technology?
>> Yeah, it's it is a utopic idea and there

are regions for example Denmark that's a
 

953
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,190
are regions for example Denmark that's a
real lighthouse country. uh they've been

954
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:55,200
real lighthouse country. uh they've been
 

955
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,990
real lighthouse country. uh they've been
able to actually reach 40% of their

we talked about. And even in some summer
 

967
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,590

they're exporting. They're exporters of

970
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:13,520
they're exporting. They're exporters of
 

971
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,470
they're exporting. They're exporters of
natural gas. They have aspirations to

972
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:16,480
natural gas. They have aspirations to
 

973
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,230
natural gas. They have aspirations to
hit 100% within the next say 10 years.

974
00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:20,240
hit 100% within the next say 10 years.
 

975
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,710
hit 100% within the next say 10 years.
When we look more broad, you know, the

976
00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:22,720
When we look more broad, you know, the
 

977
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,430
When we look more broad, you know, the
European Union in general is about 6%

978
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:25,440
European Union in general is about 6%
 

979
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,190
European Union in general is about 6%
right now. So that's fairly that's

980
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:27,200
right now. So that's fairly that's
 

981
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,070
right now. So that's fairly that's
fairly good. Uh do I think we can get to

982
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:30,080
fairly good. Uh do I think we can get to
 

983
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,710
fairly good. Uh do I think we can get to
100% not just from organic waste alone,

984
00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:32,720
100% not just from organic waste alone,
 

985
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,950
100% not just from organic waste alone,
but certainly we can make a a major dent

986
00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:34,960
but certainly we can make a a major dent
 

987
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,270
but certainly we can make a a major dent
in it. And you can see if 6% alone

988
00:18:37,270 --> 00:18:37,280
in it. And you can see if 6% alone
 

989
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,029
in it. And you can see if 6% alone
across Europe, we're not even close to

990
00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:39,039
across Europe, we're not even close to
 

991
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:42,070
across Europe, we're not even close to
that here in in North America and in

992
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:42,080
that here in in North America and in
 

993
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,950
that here in in North America and in
Asia and Africa where the trash is being

994
00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:44,960
Asia and Africa where the trash is being
 

995
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,190
Asia and Africa where the trash is being
accumulated at the fastest rate. That's

996
00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:47,200
accumulated at the fastest rate. That's
 

997
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,789
accumulated at the fastest rate. That's
where you know the most population

998
00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:48,799
where you know the most population
 

999
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:51,590
where you know the most population

1001
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,669

1007
00:18:59,919 --> 00:19:02,230
started really with with organic to bio
gas. So it's definitely going to make a

1008
00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:02,240
gas. So it's definitely going to make a
 

1009
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,230
gas. So it's definitely going to make a
critical role like we see already in

1010
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:04,240
critical role like we see already in
 

1011
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,510
critical role like we see already in
Europe at 6%. It it won't fully offset

00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:07,520
Europe at 6%. It it won't fully offset
 

1013
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,310
Europe at 6%. It it won't fully offset
it, but it can be definitely part of the

1014
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:10,320
it, but it can be definitely part of the
 

1015
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,390
it, but it can be definitely part of the
of the supply chain for natural gas.

1016
00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:12,400
of the supply chain for natural gas.
 

1017
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,150
of the supply chain for natural gas.
>> Right. But that's I mean that's actually

1018
00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:14,160
>> Right. But that's I mean that's actually
 

1019
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,310

fascinating to hear already. I mean,

00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:16,320
fascinating to hear already. I mean,
 

1021
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,070
fascinating to hear already. I mean,
obviously in certain regions it's going

00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:18,080
obviously in certain regions it's going
 

1023
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,590
obviously in certain regions it's going
to come first and then you have a proof

1024
00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:19,600
to come first and then you have a proof
 

1025
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,029
to come first and then you have a proof
of concept and then it's simply an

1026
00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:21,039
of concept and then it's simply an
 

1027
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:23,430
of concept and then it's simply an
economic barrier to implement globally,

1028
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:23,440
economic barrier to implement globally,
 

1029
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,990
economic barrier to implement globally,
but uh I I feel like the science is the

but uh I I feel like the science is the
 

1031
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,590
but uh I I feel like the science is the
hard part. Well, I don't know if that's

1032
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:27,600
hard part. Well, I don't know if that's
 

1033
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,870
hard part. Well, I don't know if that's
true. Do you think the science is the

1034
00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:28,880
true. Do you think the science is the
 

1035
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,789
true. Do you think the science is the
hard part or do you think that uh

hard part or do you think that uh

globalization and all of the
 

1039
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,549
globalization and all of the
bureaucratic barriers, do you think that

1040
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:34,559
bureaucratic barriers, do you think that
 

1041
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:36,470
bureaucratic barriers, do you think that
that's a bigger challenge?

1042
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:36,480
that's a bigger challenge?
 

1043
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,350
that's a bigger challenge?
Yeah, it it's likely is the bureaucratic

1044
00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:39,360
Yeah, it it's likely is the bureaucratic
 

1045

00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:44,960
gas is frankly speaking more expensive
 

1049
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,830
gas is frankly speaking more expensive
than fossil natural gas. It's it's

1050
00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:47,840
than fossil natural gas. It's it's
 

1051
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,510
than fossil natural gas. It's it's
easier to you know punch a hole in the

easier to you know punch a hole in the

00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:53,760
it is to set up these bio facilities
 

1057
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,990
it is to set up these bio facilities
that separate the waste,

>> Right. Just like a over a hundred years
 

1093
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,270
>> Right. Just like a over a hundred years
ago, we used to flush toilets and it

1094
00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:35,280
ago, we used to flush toilets and it
 

1095
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,510
ago, we used to flush toilets and it
went right into the river. And then we

1096
00:20:37,510 --> 00:20:37,520
went right into the river. And then we
 

1097
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,270
went right into the river. And then we
got smart to it. We started realizing,

1098
00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:39,280
got smart to it. We started realizing,
 

1099
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,950
got smart to it. We started realizing,
no, no, this is crazy. We can't be

1100
00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:40,960
no, no, this is crazy. We can't be
 

1101
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,270
no, no, this is crazy. We can't be
drinking from the river water that we,

1102
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:43,280
drinking from the river water that we,
 

1103
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,310
drinking from the river water that we,
you know, send our our sewage out.

1104
00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:46,320
you know, send our our sewage out.
 

1105
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:46,950
you know, send our our sewage out.
>> Yeah.

1106
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:46,960
>> Yeah.
 

1107
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,789
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Exactly. So, we're going to get

1108
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:48,799
>> Yeah. Exactly. So, we're going to get
 

1109
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:50,070
>> Yeah. Exactly. So, we're going to get
there. We're going to figure out that

1110
00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:50,080
there. We're going to figure out that
 

1111
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,149
there. We're going to figure out that
it's crazy to put food waste into

1112
00:20:52,149 --> 00:20:52,159
it's crazy to put food waste into
 

1113
00:20:52,159 --> 00:20:54,390
it's crazy to put food waste into
landfills and it's crazy to like leave

1114
00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:54,400
landfills and it's crazy to like leave
 

1115
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,789
landfills and it's crazy to like leave
these manurs in big holding tanks where

1116
00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:56,799
these manurs in big holding tanks where
 

1117
00:20:56,799 --> 00:20:59,110
these manurs in big holding tanks where
they burp out methane into the

1118
00:20:59,110 --> 00:20:59,120
they burp out methane into the
 

1119
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:01,029
they burp out methane into the
environment. So we're we're going to get

1120
00:21:01,029 --> 00:21:01,039
environment. So we're we're going to get
 

1121
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:03,669
environment. So we're we're going to get
around to it and so the policies will

1122
00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:03,679
around to it and so the policies will
 

1123
00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:04,390
around to it and so the policies will
follow.

1124
00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:04,400
follow.
 

1125
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,750
follow.
>> Yeah, we have this tremendous other

1126
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:05,760
>> Yeah, we have this tremendous other
 

1127
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,350
>> Yeah, we have this tremendous other
application. It's just a matter of time.

1128
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:07,360
application. It's just a matter of time.
 

1129
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:09,750
application. It's just a matter of time.
I mean and and so you know we're talking

1130
00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:09,760
I mean and and so you know we're talking
 

1131
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,190
I mean and and so you know we're talking
about biogas, but I also want to talk

1132
00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:11,200
about biogas, but I also want to talk
 

1133
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,110
about biogas, but I also want to talk
about uh you're also getting this digest

1134
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:13,120
about uh you're also getting this digest
 

1135
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,270
about uh you're also getting this digest
state. So what is that? What is the

1136
00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:15,280
state. So what is that? What is the
 

1137
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,909
state. So what is that? What is the
composition of this uh substance? Can we

1138
00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:17,919
composition of this uh substance? Can we
 

1139
00:21:17,919 --> 00:21:19,669
composition of this uh substance? Can we
use this as fertilizer? This is a whole

1140
00:21:19,669 --> 00:21:19,679
use this as fertilizer? This is a whole
 

1141
00:21:19,679 --> 00:21:21,430
use this as fertilizer? This is a whole
another application where we can

1142
00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:21,440
another application where we can
 

1143
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,750
another application where we can
rejuvenate agriculture. Uh let's talk

1144
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:23,760
rejuvenate agriculture. Uh let's talk
 

1145
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,270
rejuvenate agriculture. Uh let's talk
about that.

1146
00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:25,280
about that.
 

1147
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,029
about that.
>> Yeah, definitely. I I mean bio gas

1148
00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:29,039
>> Yeah, definitely. I I mean bio gas
 

1149
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:30,870
>> Yeah, definitely. I I mean bio gas
plants in themselves are actually only

1150
00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:30,880
plants in themselves are actually only
 

1151
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,870
plants in themselves are actually only
making about 10% of the weight that goes

1152
00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:32,880
making about 10% of the weight that goes
 

1153
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,390
making about 10% of the weight that goes
into them as renewable natural gas. So

1154
00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:36,400
into them as renewable natural gas. So
 

1155
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,789
into them as renewable natural gas. So
they're more a digestate factory than

1156
00:21:38,789 --> 00:21:38,799
they're more a digestate factory than
 

1157
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:41,590
they're more a digestate factory than
they are really a renewable natural gas

1158
00:21:41,590 --> 00:21:41,600
they are really a renewable natural gas
 

1159
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,710
they are really a renewable natural gas
facility. So that use of that digestate

1160
00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:44,720
facility. So that use of that digestate
 

1161
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,110
facility. So that use of that digestate
is critically important. I'd say that

1162
00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:47,120
is critically important. I'd say that
 

1163
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:49,270
is critically important. I'd say that
the major nutrients have not

1164
00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:49,280
the major nutrients have not
 

1165
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,590
the major nutrients have not
disappeared. They've just changed form.

1166
00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:51,600
disappeared. They've just changed form.
 

1167
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,909
disappeared. They've just changed form.
So a lot of the organic nitrogen becomes

1168
00:21:53,909 --> 00:21:53,919
So a lot of the organic nitrogen becomes
 

1169
00:21:53,919 --> 00:21:57,110
So a lot of the organic nitrogen becomes
more available forms of ammonia. Uh the

1170
00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:57,120
more available forms of ammonia. Uh the
 

1171
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,270
more available forms of ammonia. Uh the
phosphorus is largely you know unchanged

1172
00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:59,280
phosphorus is largely you know unchanged
 

1173
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,110
phosphorus is largely you know unchanged
or it's maybe converted a little bit to

1174
00:22:01,110 --> 00:22:01,120
or it's maybe converted a little bit to
 

1175
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:04,310
or it's maybe converted a little bit to
ortho phosphates and things like uh

1176
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:04,320
ortho phosphates and things like uh
 

1177
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,750
ortho phosphates and things like uh
potassium are just left in solution. So

1178
00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:07,760
potassium are just left in solution. So
 

1179
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,430
potassium are just left in solution. So
there's definitely opportunities. The

1180
00:22:09,430 --> 00:22:09,440
there's definitely opportunities. The
 

1181
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,430
there's definitely opportunities. The
the simplest form is you just take the

1182
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:11,440
the simplest form is you just take the
 

1183
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,149
the simplest form is you just take the
liquid digestate out of the anorobic

1184
00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:14,159
liquid digestate out of the anorobic
 

1185
00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:16,230
liquid digestate out of the anorobic
digesttor and spread it onto land. And

1186
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:16,240
digesttor and spread it onto land. And
 

1187
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,549
digesttor and spread it onto land. And
this is great if you have arid climates

1188
00:22:18,549 --> 00:22:18,559
this is great if you have arid climates
 

1189
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:20,549
this is great if you have arid climates
or you're you're located close to the

1190
00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:20,559
or you're you're located close to the
 

1191
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:22,870
or you're you're located close to the
farmland. This isn't always the case

1192
00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:22,880
farmland. This isn't always the case
 

1193
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,630
farmland. This isn't always the case
though. You have urban based anorobic

1194
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:24,640
though. You have urban based anorobic
 

1195
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,270
though. You have urban based anorobic
digesttors. In those situations, we

1196
00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:27,280
digesttors. In those situations, we
 

1197
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,669
digesttors. In those situations, we
often use something called dewatering or

1198
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:29,679
often use something called dewatering or
 

1199
00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:32,149
often use something called dewatering or
solid liquid separation. And we'll pull

1200
00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:32,159
solid liquid separation. And we'll pull
 

1201
00:22:32,159 --> 00:22:34,230
solid liquid separation. And we'll pull
the vast majority of the nutrients into

1202
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:34,240
the vast majority of the nutrients into
 

1203
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,029
the vast majority of the nutrients into
a solid cake. It looks like cookie dough

1204
00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:37,039
a solid cake. It looks like cookie dough
 

1205
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:39,909
a solid cake. It looks like cookie dough
or a batter sort of material. And then

1206
00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:39,919
or a batter sort of material. And then
 

1207
00:22:39,919 --> 00:22:41,909
or a batter sort of material. And then
that could be more economically

1208
00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:41,919
that could be more economically
 

1209
00:22:41,919 --> 00:22:45,270
that could be more economically
transported off to compost facilities or

1210
00:22:45,270 --> 00:22:45,280
transported off to compost facilities or
 

1211
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,430
transported off to compost facilities or

1213
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,669

that's been separated could go to a

1214
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:49,679
that's been separated could go to a
 

1215
00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:51,190
that's been separated could go to a
conventional wastewater treatment plant

1216
00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:51,200
conventional wastewater treatment plant

00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,669
mean so as you were saying like this the
proof of concept is there. You guys have

1282
00:24:03,669 --> 00:24:03,679
proof of concept is there. You guys have
 

1283
00:24:03,679 --> 00:24:05,830
proof of concept is there. You guys have
scaled up to large industrial facilities

1284
00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:05,840
scaled up to large industrial facilities
 

1285
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,149
scaled up to large industrial facilities
very successfully. Um can you tell me

1286
00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:08,159
very successfully. Um can you tell me
 

1287
00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:09,990
very successfully. Um can you tell me
what that process was like? Were there

1288
00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:10,000
what that process was like? Were there
 

1289
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,630
what that process was like? Were there
any unforeseen challenges or nonlinear

1290
00:24:12,630 --> 00:24:12,640
any unforeseen challenges or nonlinear
 

1291
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,990
any unforeseen challenges or nonlinear
effect? Um you know what can that serve

1292
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:16,000
effect? Um you know what can that serve
 

1293
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,630
effect? Um you know what can that serve
as a lesson to other areas of the world

1294
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:18,640
as a lesson to other areas of the world
 

1295
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,630
as a lesson to other areas of the world
that may be trying to catch up and and

1296
00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:20,640
that may be trying to catch up and and
 

1297
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,190
that may be trying to catch up and and
implement these processes themselves? Um

1298
00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:23,200
implement these processes themselves? Um
 

1299
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,510
implement these processes themselves? Um
what was that all about?

1300
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:25,520
what was that all about?
 

1301
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,029
what was that all about?
Yeah, for sure. There was a lot of

1302
00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:27,039
Yeah, for sure. There was a lot of
 

1303
00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:30,870
Yeah, for sure. There was a lot of
learning. Uh the the cost or the cost of

1304
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:30,880
learning. Uh the the cost or the cost of
 

1305
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,070
learning. Uh the the cost or the cost of
the tuition was very high. So, we had to

1306
00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:34,080
the tuition was very high. So, we had to
 

1307
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,710
the tuition was very high. So, we had to
solve many problems. And fortunately, we

1308
00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:36,720
solve many problems. And fortunately, we
 

1309
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,470
solve many problems. And fortunately, we
have been able to implement it into our

1310
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:38,480
have been able to implement it into our
 

1311
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,190
have been able to implement it into our
plants. Now, uh types of mixers that we

1312
00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:41,200
plants. Now, uh types of mixers that we
 

1313
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,669
plants. Now, uh types of mixers that we
use, how we pre-process the material

1314
00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:43,679
use, how we pre-process the material
 

1315
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:45,669
use, how we pre-process the material
like shredding and grinding to make it

1316
00:24:45,669 --> 00:24:45,679
like shredding and grinding to make it
 

1317
00:24:45,679 --> 00:24:47,430
like shredding and grinding to make it
more accessible, how we do the

1318
00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:47,440
more accessible, how we do the
 

1319
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,669
more accessible, how we do the
dewatering on the back end, those were

1320
00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:49,679
dewatering on the back end, those were
 

1321
00:24:49,679 --> 00:24:52,710
dewatering on the back end, those were
all lessons that we learned. And for

1322
00:24:52,710 --> 00:24:52,720
all lessons that we learned. And for
 

1323
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,029
all lessons that we learned. And for
sure within Aneria we are trying to

1324
00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:55,039
sure within Aneria we are trying to
 

1325
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:56,789
sure within Aneria we are trying to
scale all the way around the world. We

1326
00:24:56,789 --> 00:24:56,799
scale all the way around the world. We
 

1327
00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:01,110
scale all the way around the world. We
have offices in emerging economies like

1328
00:25:01,110 --> 00:25:01,120
have offices in emerging economies like
 

1329
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:04,390
have offices in emerging economies like
Singapore and Japan and Australia and as

1330
00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:04,400
Singapore and Japan and Australia and as
 

1331
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,510
Singapore and Japan and Australia and as
well all all throughout Europe. Uh so we

1332
00:25:07,510 --> 00:25:07,520
well all all throughout Europe. Uh so we
 

1333
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,510
well all all throughout Europe. Uh so we
are aiming to spread those lessons

1334
00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:09,520
are aiming to spread those lessons
 

1335
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,430
are aiming to spread those lessons
learned throughout the community and I

1336
00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:11,440
learned throughout the community and I
 

1337
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,070
learned throughout the community and I
would say the bio gas space in general

1338
00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:14,080
would say the bio gas space in general
 

1339
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,950
would say the bio gas space in general
is a collaborative one. We are looking

1340
00:25:16,950 --> 00:25:16,960
is a collaborative one. We are looking
 

1341
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,950
is a collaborative one. We are looking
to support other firms and we use lots

1342
00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:20,960
to support other firms and we use lots
 

1343
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,789
to support other firms and we use lots
of technologies that we buy off the

1344
00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:22,799
of technologies that we buy off the
 

1345
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:24,870
of technologies that we buy off the
market as well and that allows for that

1346
00:25:24,870 --> 00:25:24,880
market as well and that allows for that
 

1347
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,149
market as well and that allows for that
kind of cross-pollination and and uh and

1348
00:25:28,149 --> 00:25:28,159
kind of cross-pollination and and uh and
 

1349
00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:31,669
kind of cross-pollination and and uh and
sharing of the lessons learned

1350
00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:31,679
sharing of the lessons learned
 

1351
00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:33,830
sharing of the lessons learned
>> into I I've been doing a lot of you know

1352
00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:33,840
>> into I I've been doing a lot of you know
 

1353
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,710
>> into I I've been doing a lot of you know
obviously uh I focus on my channel on on

1354
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:36,720
obviously uh I focus on my channel on on
 

1355
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,549
obviously uh I focus on my channel on on
science denial and climate change denial

1356
00:25:38,549 --> 00:25:38,559
science denial and climate change denial
 

1357
00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:41,110
science denial and climate change denial
is one of the most uh is one of the you

1358
00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:41,120
is one of the most uh is one of the you
 

1359
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:43,190
is one of the most uh is one of the you
know most dilitterious forms of of

1360
00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:43,200
know most dilitterious forms of of
 

1361
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,350
know most dilitterious forms of of
science denial and so in getting a sense

1362
00:25:45,350 --> 00:25:45,360
science denial and so in getting a sense
 

1363
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,269
science denial and so in getting a sense
of where we're at with warming. How, you

1364
00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:47,279
of where we're at with warming. How, you
 

1365
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,830
of where we're at with warming. How, you
know, 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial

1366
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:49,840
know, 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial
 

1367
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,149
know, 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial
heading towards two within the next 20,

1368
00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:52,159
heading towards two within the next 20,
 

1369
00:25:52,159 --> 00:25:54,230
heading towards two within the next 20,
30 years maximum. There are a lot of

1370
00:25:54,230 --> 00:25:54,240
30 years maximum. There are a lot of
 

1371
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,149
30 years maximum. There are a lot of
solutions that people talk about that

1372
00:25:56,149 --> 00:25:56,159
solutions that people talk about that
 

1373
00:25:56,159 --> 00:25:58,149
solutions that people talk about that
are are going to be hard to implement,

1374
00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:58,159
are are going to be hard to implement,
 

1375
00:25:58,159 --> 00:26:00,230
are are going to be hard to implement,
but you guys are already doing something

1376
00:26:00,230 --> 00:26:00,240
but you guys are already doing something
 

1377
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,710
but you guys are already doing something
that is curbing methane emissions and

1378
00:26:02,710 --> 00:26:02,720
that is curbing methane emissions and
 

1379
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,470
that is curbing methane emissions and
and potentially other emissions. Do you

1380
00:26:04,470 --> 00:26:04,480
and potentially other emissions. Do you
 

1381
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,230
and potentially other emissions. Do you
have any sense of what how much this

1382
00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:08,240
have any sense of what how much this
 

1383
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,549
have any sense of what how much this
activity is slowing warming? Is it a

1384
00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:10,559
activity is slowing warming? Is it a
 

1385
00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:12,149
activity is slowing warming? Is it a
measurable amount that we can already

1386
00:26:12,149 --> 00:26:12,159
measurable amount that we can already
 

1387
00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:14,230
measurable amount that we can already
sense is starting to just at least buy

1388
00:26:14,230 --> 00:26:14,240
sense is starting to just at least buy
 

1389
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,750
sense is starting to just at least buy
us a little bit more time to come up

1390
00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:15,760
us a little bit more time to come up
 

1391
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,870
us a little bit more time to come up
with broader solutions?

1392
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:18,880
with broader solutions?
 

1393
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,950
with broader solutions?
>> Yeah, I mean I don't have the figures on

1394
00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:20,960
>> Yeah, I mean I don't have the figures on
 

1395
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,190
>> Yeah, I mean I don't have the figures on
how much it is slowing it, but what we

1396
00:26:23,190 --> 00:26:23,200
how much it is slowing it, but what we
 

1397
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,549
how much it is slowing it, but what we
know is around 45% of global warming is

1398
00:26:26,549 --> 00:26:26,559
know is around 45% of global warming is
 

1399
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:29,110
know is around 45% of global warming is
caused by methane emissions and in fact

1400
00:26:29,110 --> 00:26:29,120
caused by methane emissions and in fact
 

1401
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,750
caused by methane emissions and in fact
methane emissions from landfills is the

1402
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:31,760
methane emissions from landfills is the
 

1403
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,230
methane emissions from landfills is the
third largest source of of greenhouse

1404
00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:34,240
third largest source of of greenhouse
 

1405
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,710
third largest source of of greenhouse
gas emissions in the world. And so when

1406
00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:36,720
gas emissions in the world. And so when
 

1407
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,510
gas emissions in the world. And so when
we control that methane emissions, we're

1408
00:26:39,510 --> 00:26:39,520
we control that methane emissions, we're
 

1409
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,510
we control that methane emissions, we're
we're almost certainly going to be

1410
00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:41,520
we're almost certainly going to be
 

1411
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,190
we're almost certainly going to be
having a an impact on the total 1.5

1412
00:26:45,190 --> 00:26:45,200
having a an impact on the total 1.5
 

1413
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,590
having a an impact on the total 1.5
degree increase in temperature as you as

1414
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:47,600
degree increase in temperature as you as
 

1415
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,789
degree increase in temperature as you as
you put it. And the reason for this is

1416
00:26:50,789 --> 00:26:50,799
you put it. And the reason for this is
 

1417
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:53,190
you put it. And the reason for this is
methane has a on a very short timeline

1418
00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:53,200
methane has a on a very short timeline
 

1419
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,830
methane has a on a very short timeline
like 20 years, it's actually 84 times

1420
00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:55,840
like 20 years, it's actually 84 times
 

1421
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,549
like 20 years, it's actually 84 times
more impactful than CO2. So if you let

1422
00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:58,559
more impactful than CO2. So if you let
 

1423
00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:01,510
more impactful than CO2. So if you let
one molecule of methane out, it's 84

1424
00:27:01,510 --> 00:27:01,520
one molecule of methane out, it's 84
 

1425
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,269
one molecule of methane out, it's 84
times worse than if you had to let one

1426
00:27:03,269 --> 00:27:03,279
times worse than if you had to let one
 

1427
00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:06,710
times worse than if you had to let one
molecule of CO2 out. And so it's it is

1428
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:06,720
molecule of CO2 out. And so it's it is
 

1429
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,110
molecule of CO2 out. And so it's it is
critically important that we do identify

1430
00:27:09,110 --> 00:27:09,120
critically important that we do identify
 

1431
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:12,310
critically important that we do identify
these major sources of emission. And

1432
00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:12,320
these major sources of emission. And
 

1433
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,830
these major sources of emission. And
fortunately, we're we're now seeing

1434
00:27:13,830 --> 00:27:13,840
fortunately, we're we're now seeing
 

1435
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,990
fortunately, we're we're now seeing
technologies that are like mapping

1436
00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:16,000
technologies that are like mapping
 

1437
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,909
technologies that are like mapping
landfills. And we thought it was a lot

1438
00:27:17,909 --> 00:27:17,919
landfills. And we thought it was a lot
 

1439
00:27:17,919 --> 00:27:20,549
landfills. And we thought it was a lot
less than it was before, but landfills

1440
00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:20,559
less than it was before, but landfills
 

1441
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:23,029
less than it was before, but landfills
are absolute atrocities in terms of

1442
00:27:23,029 --> 00:27:23,039
are absolute atrocities in terms of
 

1443
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:25,669
are absolute atrocities in terms of
emissions of methane. And we can see it

1444
00:27:25,669 --> 00:27:25,679
emissions of methane. And we can see it
 

1445
00:27:25,679 --> 00:27:28,310
emissions of methane. And we can see it
from both aerial views where we do

1446
00:27:28,310 --> 00:27:28,320
from both aerial views where we do
 

1447
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,710
from both aerial views where we do
flyovers and as well using satellite

1448
00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:30,720
flyovers and as well using satellite
 

1449
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,950
flyovers and as well using satellite
technology that looks down on the earth

1450
00:27:32,950 --> 00:27:32,960
technology that looks down on the earth
 

1451
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,510
technology that looks down on the earth
and these massive plumes of greenhouse

1452
00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:35,520
and these massive plumes of greenhouse
 

1453
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,269
and these massive plumes of greenhouse
gas emissions are coming belching out of

1454
00:27:37,269 --> 00:27:37,279
gas emissions are coming belching out of
 

1455
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:39,750
gas emissions are coming belching out of
these landfills. So certainly

1456
00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:39,760
these landfills. So certainly
 

1457
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,830
these landfills. So certainly

know landfills third biggest source if

1474
00:27:58,950 --> 00:27:58,960
know landfills third biggest source if
 

1475
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,590

we are if we're actively moving towards

1476
00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:01,600

landfills not existing anymore right

1478
00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:03,600
landfills not existing anymore right
 

1479
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,909

that's that's absolutely incredible

1480
00:28:05,909 --> 00:28:05,919
that's that's absolutely incredible
 

1481
00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:08,389
that's that's absolutely incredible
progress um what what happened to all

1482
00:28:08,389 --> 00:28:08,399
progress um what what happened to all
 

1483
00:28:08,399 --> 00:28:09,750
progress um what what happened to all
the landfill like I remember when I was

1484
00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:09,760
the landfill like I remember when I was
 

1485
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,590
the landfill like I remember when I was
a kid we would drive by this very

1486
00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:11,600
a kid we would drive by this very
 

1487
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,669
a kid we would drive by this very
particular landfill uh it was like right

1488
00:28:13,669 --> 00:28:13,679
particular landfill uh it was like right
 

1489
00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:15,909
particular landfill uh it was like right
off the freeway and it smelled horrible.

1490
00:28:15,909 --> 00:28:15,919
off the freeway and it smelled horrible.
 

1491
00:28:15,919 --> 00:28:17,350
off the freeway and it smelled horrible.
Um, and then I don't think I've ever

1492
00:28:17,350 --> 00:28:17,360
Um, and then I don't think I've ever
 

1493
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,350
Um, and then I don't think I've ever
seen a landfill since. What What has

1494
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:19,360
seen a landfill since. What What has
 

1495
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:21,990
seen a landfill since. What What has
happened? Where are the landfills at

1496
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:22,000
happened? Where are the landfills at
 

1497
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,430
happened? Where are the landfills at
this point?

1498
00:28:23,430 --> 00:28:23,440
this point?
 

1499
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,190
this point?
>> Yeah, they're becoming increasingly

1500
00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:25,200
>> Yeah, they're becoming increasingly
 

1501
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,909
>> Yeah, they're becoming increasingly
difficult to permit. So, landfills take,

1502
00:28:27,909 --> 00:28:27,919
difficult to permit. So, landfills take,
 

1503
00:28:27,919 --> 00:28:31,029
difficult to permit. So, landfills take,
you know, tens of years to allow.

1504
00:28:31,029 --> 00:28:31,039
you know, tens of years to allow.
 

1505
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:32,870
you know, tens of years to allow.
>> You can imagine it's the nimiism, right?

1506
00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:32,880
>> You can imagine it's the nimiism, right?
 

1507
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,110
>> You can imagine it's the nimiism, right?
Not in my backyard. It's going to stop

1508
00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:35,120
Not in my backyard. It's going to stop
 

1509
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:37,430
Not in my backyard. It's going to stop
the the permitting of those. So, the

1510
00:28:37,430 --> 00:28:37,440
the the permitting of those. So, the
 

1511
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,870
the the permitting of those. So, the
ones that do exist are getting

1512
00:28:38,870 --> 00:28:38,880
ones that do exist are getting
 

1513
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,029
ones that do exist are getting
concentrated and and really heavily

1514
00:28:41,029 --> 00:28:41,039
concentrated and and really heavily
 

1515
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:43,990
concentrated and and really heavily
utilized. Uh and and then it's kind of

1516
00:28:43,990 --> 00:28:44,000
utilized. Uh and and then it's kind of
 

1517
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,669
utilized. Uh and and then it's kind of
the not see it as well. They're they're

1518
00:28:45,669 --> 00:28:45,679
the not see it as well. They're they're
 

1519
00:28:45,679 --> 00:28:47,190
the not see it as well. They're they're
getting really smart to putting up BMS

1520
00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:47,200
getting really smart to putting up BMS
 

1521
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,669
getting really smart to putting up BMS
and and kind of keeping them out of out

1522
00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:49,679
and and kind of keeping them out of out
 

1523
00:28:49,679 --> 00:28:52,950
and and kind of keeping them out of out
of sight. Uh they are still there and

1524
00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:52,960
of sight. Uh they are still there and
 

1525
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,470
of sight. Uh they are still there and
we'd love to see a future where they're

1526
00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:54,480
we'd love to see a future where they're
 

1527
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,029
we'd love to see a future where they're
not there. We have plants across Europe

1528
00:28:57,029 --> 00:28:57,039
not there. We have plants across Europe
 

1529
00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,990
not there. We have plants across Europe
where we're diverting up to 90% of the

1530
00:28:59,990 --> 00:29:00,000
where we're diverting up to 90% of the
 

1531
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,470
where we're diverting up to 90% of the
material. That's the recyclables, even

1532
00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:02,480
material. That's the recyclables, even
 

1533
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,990
material. That's the recyclables, even
refuge derived fuels, organics, etc. So

1534
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:06,000
refuge derived fuels, organics, etc. So
 

1535
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,750
refuge derived fuels, organics, etc. So
there are processes to get all the way

1536
00:29:07,750 --> 00:29:07,760
there are processes to get all the way
 

1537
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,269
there are processes to get all the way
up to 90% diversion. And in a future we

1538
00:29:11,269 --> 00:29:11,279
up to 90% diversion. And in a future we
 

1539
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:13,190
up to 90% diversion. And in a future we
might see that landfills they'll likely

1540
00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:13,200
might see that landfills they'll likely
 

1541
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,110
might see that landfills they'll likely
still exist but at a much smaller scale

1542
00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:15,120
still exist but at a much smaller scale
 

1543
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,470
still exist but at a much smaller scale
and for a smaller fraction.

1544
00:29:16,470 --> 00:29:16,480
and for a smaller fraction.
 

1545
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,549
and for a smaller fraction.

1593
00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:16,549
energy and it's like, you guys, here you
go. Two birds, one stone. We just need

1594
00:30:16,549 --> 00:30:16,559
go. Two birds, one stone. We just need
 

1595
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:18,549
go. Two birds, one stone. We just need
some infrastructure. We need an infusion

1596
00:30:18,549 --> 00:30:18,559
some infrastructure. We need an infusion
 

1597
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:20,630
some infrastructure. We need an infusion
of uh, you know, an investment to get

1598
00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:20,640
of uh, you know, an investment to get
 

1599
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,350
of uh, you know, an investment to get
the infrastructure going for all these

1600
00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:23,360
the infrastructure going for all these
 

1601
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,029
the infrastructure going for all these
nations. But, um, to to me it's

1602
00:30:25,029 --> 00:30:25,039
nations. But, um, to to me it's
 

1603

industrial landscapes like this. Now we
 

1683
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,269
industrial landscapes like this. Now we
can juxtapose those with a similarly

catastrophic climate change? Certainly

1694
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:08,240
catastrophic climate change? Certainly
 

1695
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,909
catastrophic climate change? Certainly
not. There's a lot of other work to be

1696
00:32:09,909 --> 00:32:09,919
not. There's a lot of other work to be
 

1697
00:32:09,919 --> 00:32:11,830
not. There's a lot of other work to be
done, but one would be hardpressed to

1698
00:32:11,830 --> 00:32:11,840
done, but one would be hardpressed to
