E032. A Fossil Fuel Free Future? with Paul Martin

Net Zero vs Absolute Zero.
How do we break our carbon addiction?
Reformed hopium dealer Paul Martin shares his insights on a pathway to a truly sustainable future for energy systems.

Mr. Paul Martin has a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Waterloo, in Ontario, Canada.  He spent the first five years of his career in the water treatment and environmental remediation industry, developing new process technology.  For 25 years he has worked for Zeton Inc., the world's premier designer and builder of pilot plants for the chemical process industry.  He has designed and built laboratory scale, pilot, demonstration/semi-works and small commercial plants for a bewildering variety of chemical processes, including involvement in projects which have led to commercial facilities worth many billions of dollars.   Mr. Martin is also an active advocate for the decarbonization of our economy and a transition to renewable and nonemitting energy sources to address the risk of global warming.  To that end, and as a learning exercise for himself and his son, he undertook the conversion of a gasoline car to full electric drive.
