Can CO₂ Become Food? Arborea’s BioSolar Leaf Explained

At Innovation Zero, I spoke with Kaly from Arborea about BioSolar Leaf, a cultivation platform that uses carbon dioxide, sunlight, and microalgae to create food ingredients.What made this episode especially memorable for me is that Arborea’s story unexpectedly connected to one of my own London memories.When I first moved to London 5 years ago, I remember seeing Arborea’s beautiful bionic chandelier at the V&A Museum. I had no idea the company behind that installation would come back into my life years later — this time as a live climate-tech business I’d meet and record with at Innovation Zero.That moment made me reflect on something bigger:sometimes we don’t know whether a business can truly scale until time proves it. Sometimes what begins as an extraordinary piece of art or an experimental idea becomes an industrial platform, a real company, and a real commercial story.In this episode, we talk about:- how BioSolar Leaf works- how Arborea uses CO₂ + sunlight + microalgae- why Kaly describes it like a kind of “magic tree”- how the company evolved from the V&A bionic chandelier to industrial scale-up- why this feels like such a strong example of the Season 5 theme: Climate Tech Is Just Good BusinessNote: Some visual sequences in this episode are AI-assisted conceptual animations created to help explain the technology.

Giving EV Batteries an NthLife™ with Samsar Resources

What happens to an EV battery after it stops powering a car? In the opening episode of Bite-Size Climate Tech Season 5, Lydia speaks with Guillermo Garcia, President and CEO of Samsar Resources, about battery circularity, reuse, and the company’s NthLife™ approach. Samsar designs, inspects, and repurposes batteries so they can keep creating value across new applications instead of being discarded too early. We talk about why battery reuse is not just good for the planet, but also good business, how to explain the idea through a Toy Story analogy, and what it takes for climate technology to move from lab to market. This episode kicks off Season 5’s new theme: Climate Tech Is Just Good Business. Bite-Size Climate Tech makes complex climate solutions simple, human, and engaging.

Season 4 Finale - Sunlight‑Powered CO₂ Capture & K‑Pop Carbon Tales

In this Bite‑Size Climate Tech finale, Dr Anna de Vries takes us from lab bench to lemonade stand to explain how photoacids could make carbon capture cheaper and greener. Traditional systems use heat or electricity to release CO₂, but Anna’s solution uses light‑reactive molecules that switch from alkaline to acidic under sunlight. In darkness they flip back, allowing CO₂ to be captured again. This swing cycle runs at ambient temperature and pressure and requires far less energy than conventional methods. Along the way, we explore how this new science ties into pop culture (yes, there’s a K‑pop “soda pop” reference), why a young researcher chose climate tech over other paths, and how a cultural shift among the wealthiest could drive climate action. Anna closes the season with a simple message: no impact is too small.
