Tom Green is joining us today, and he’s the CEO of Project Vesta.

Project Vesta is harnessing the natural power of the oceans to remove excess CO₂ from the atmosphere. The Earth has long sequestered carbon through the oceans, and Tom has found a way, based on decades of prior scientific research, to accelerate this process using a common mineral.

Tom Green has a BA from Oxford and an MBA from Harvard, and his personal career journey is remarkable. Today Project Vesta has received millions in funding and is one of the most exciting and novel solutions to climate change I’ve heard of yet.
