Carbon Capture for Pulp & Paper Mills with Brett Henkel

In this Climate Chat episode, we interview Svante co-founder and SVP, Brett Henkel, on Svante's carbon capture system and how it can it can produce negative carbon emissions when used to capture CO2 from pulp and paper mills. We will also discuss other applications for carbon capture including cement and steel plants, as well as direct air capture (DAC). As co-founder of Svante, Brett was instrumental in creating the process and the hardware used to prove the technology’s effectiveness as well as mobilizing external support throughout the path to becoming a successful innovation. These experiences strengthened his knowledge of business development and program management priorities. Prior to launching Svante, Mr. Henkel was the program manager for QuestAir Technologies’ compact hydrogen production system. He is credited with designing the world’s first solenoid-driven rapid pressure swing adsorption test station. Brett received his Bachelor of Science in Physics, with distinction, and a Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Victoria.
