Casey Handmer is not intimidated by very large quantities. Trillions of acres. Thousands of gigawatts of solar power. A billion metric tons of carbon.
His startup, Terraform Industries, aims to operate at these ambitious scales. The company wants to turn hydrogen and atmospheric carbon into synthetic natural gas at scale. It’s more than a little mind-boggling, given that the startup is scarcely two years old, with fewer than fifteen people on payroll, and around $11 million in funding. But if the company succeeds in its goal – displacing a huge amount of carbon that’s released into the atmosphere – it’s the only scale worth operating in.
