 Okay, everyone. Hi, I'm Rupa Dandamoudi. I'm the team relations manager for X-Prize Carbon Removal. I've got some of my colleagues on the call here. We have Mike Leach, who is our technical director. Nikki Bachelor, who is our prize director. And we have Marcus Exervor, who's the vice president of energy and climate at X-Prize, and also a one of our team members. So we're just going to go ahead and get started since, you know, we've got a few pitches coming up, but this is our first X-Prize matchmaking, X-Prize Carbon Removal Matchmaking session. So we're really excited to try this out, see how it goes. We know there's a lot of you that might be looking for new team members. So we wanted to kind of give a chance for you all to connect. You know, so depending on what you're needing, you know, particular skill sets, things like that, things you're looking for in new team members. We use the pop portal for this, but it's always nice to see a face and, you know, interact in real time. So I'm going to go ahead and call up the first team, which is Kepler Carbon Recapture, and that's Paul Graham, who's going to be speaking. I'd like you to just unmute yourself, and then you can go ahead and share your screen to get into your pitch. Good morning. Share this button moved. All right. Well, I get to go first. That is a lot of stress. That's okay. I'm used to being the trendsetter. Good morning. I'm Paul Graham, Chief Operations Officer of Kepler Carbon Recapture and the President and CEO of Kepler Shipyards, the parent and sponsoring organization for the Carbon Recapture team. We are an interdisciplinary team of experts in six different countries, frankly, across three continents, focused on creating carbon negative solutions. When I say carbon, I mean, we're all making carbon negative. If we're doing this right, we're extracting carbon. Our process itself, the machinery that we're using to remove the carbon is also carbon negative. How are we doing this? We're using ocean-based technology based on the oil industry's SPAR platforms. We find that really ironic that we're using the same technology that the oil industry used to get us into the situation to get us out of the situation. It's too big of a problem for any one solution. So we're using all three chemical, physical, and biological processes to extract, compress, process, and convert CO2 from the ocean layers to something that can be used. From these platforms, we're going to pump liquid CO2 or another intermediate project to offshore processes, offshore facilities to be processed further into useful, durable goods such as polymers, additives to concrete. The list is literally endless. So who we are? Well, some pictures of some people, a series of experts, actually everyone from students to professionals with 30 plus years in the field. PhDs, we've got a large collection of really qualified people, but we need a few more or we would like a few more. Who we're looking for is marine chemists and potentially someone who is an expert in plant genetics, ESG and CSR investment expertise, international environmental policy experts, creative digital marketing, content generation, social media, so on, and other strategic advisors. We recognize that this is not just a science problem. It's not just an engineering problem. It involves all aspects of society. So we're looking for people from all aspects of society. Here's some way to contact us. You can of course contact us through the pop, or you can send email to here and get ahold of us. Are we taking questions or We actually are going to wait until the end for questions. But you also can direct chat someone if you, if you'd like, but what we're going to do is we're going to wait until the other presenters are presented and take 10 minutes or so for to allow for questions. Okay. Okay. Thank you so much. Okay. The next speaker we have is Manfred Baumgartner from hydrogenate everything. Manfred are, are you able to unmute, or can you, are you having any technical issues. Oh, can you hear me now. Yeah, we can hear you. Okay. I'm sorry. I had some some problems with this so meeting. So now you can see our presentation. The idea is a little bit the same as the previous quickers. And so my might be interesting to discuss it. Yes, my name is Manfred from German innovation company, why talk in Stuttgart, and the other team member is Professor Rauch from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the KIT. So I'm very happy to introduce our technology hydrogenate. And yes, what we are going to do. We use the atmospheric CO2 to create a new carbon negative resource for building materials to build our future homes and cities. That's the idea. How do we do that. You can see it here. The first step is to transfer the atmospheric CO2 but also the biomass or even base to methane with our hydrogenate reactor. The second step now is to highlight the process this methane further to a solid carbon with the oxidation level zero. And we call this new product carbon zero. And we think that carbon zero will become the new resource for long for long lasting carbon negative products. For example, carbon negative brakes or carbon negative concrete. And these new carbon negative building materials are then used to build our future homes and cities. So that's the main idea here. And I show you a quick look to our hydrogenate transformer. It's a combination of a hydrogenation reactor and solid oxide electrolyzer and a pyrolysis unit. So it's was everything from biomass to waste to atmospheric CO2. And yes, we plan to scale this to the gigaton level. So what we can offer. First of all, we think it's an adventure to build a new carbon negative resource up on zero. And so we need a lot of things. One thing of course, we need sponsors for our seed round to match the schedule and budget of the express actually. And then of course we need team members to build our first industrial demonstrator demonstrator. And of course, we need also partners who want to develop building materials with this carbon zero for carbon negative brakes for examples or concrete. There are a lot of other products that are imaginable to create here. And of course we are interesting in partnering with this teams who deliver CO2, captured CO2, and of course, deliver waste organic waste. So that's our idea. Let's go for it and let's build a new carbon negative industry. So we appreciate your interest. Please contact me if you are interested in this idea and this concept. Thank you very much. Thank you, Manfred. Thank you so much. I am getting some questions in the chat about how to contact teams. There's a few ways. Once we're getting into the question and answer portion. We're going to ask all the team lead the team presenters to list their team name, their name and the best contact info for them. I'm happy to compile a list and send send those out to everyone attending the meeting after. Okay. So our third team up is team whale led by Sebastian Groyer. Sebastian, if you're ready please. I just need my car to stop sharing the screen because I cannot do it. Okay, thanks. Great. Thank you. I think this is it. Can you see my screen? Yes. So this is one farming the ocean. This is a crazy idea for a crazy problem. I'm going to go through very quickly what I'm going to do with this new idea. We need to find a way to find a way to form the ocean to do two different things at the same time. First one is provide enough affordable, sustainable and quality food for the world. We'll be 10 billion people in 2050 so we need to find a way to provide food to these 10 billion people and capture enough carbon of course this is why I'm around to try and stop the climate change problem and the increasing population of CO2. And with the biological pump which is a normal natural system bringing carbon to the deep ocean, you can store mostly 10 gigatons like the more people on a larger scale, carbon into the deep ocean and you can store them for hundreds to thousands of years which is the scale we should try to reach and develop. This is based on the new process to fertilize the ocean. It's based on the first trials and concepts about artificial equating which didn't work so far because it was too expensive and too difficult to develop. And this is a new idea which should be profitable just thanks to the fishing industry. So we're just going to form the ocean, fish the fish and make a profitable business which is going to allow to capture a lot of carbon. Revolution like a bit like the agriculture revolution 12,000 years ago, which is bringing the mankind on to the ocean and fertilize or the ocean to form it. A slide just to explain the size of the potential, the ocean is like 70% of the planet, 360 million square kilometers and 90% of this ocean is a blue desert so no productivity or very poor productivity, you can see life when you go and see what's going on on the shores where you have a very large productivity, it's like 1000 times bigger than in the open ocean. So the idea of why it would be to create, how is this in this world, create a full ecosystem of fish, shrimp, shellfish, plankton, seaweed, etc. So that you can really form this, this huge space, unavailable to mankind so far, or just for trips and observation. These goals would be very, very attractive and very large in terms of quantities of food and carbon. We will be able to form from the first calculation to be in terms of seafood per year on 14 million square kilometers of the ocean which is even persons it's really large and it's a really new concepts to form that big of a surface. We will be able to capture between three and 10 gigatons of carbon per year, which would be a huge solution for the carbon release in activities for of mine of humanity. Another benefit would be to cruise the atmosphere as atmosphere because deep water is cooler so you'll be able to just decrease the temperature from the atmosphere for on the short term. So we are profitable carryable in carbon negative business that would be the idea of well. But we have a lot of challenges, and the biggest one is not a technical scientific challenge, the biggest one is a legal challenge and that's international challenge the scientific challenge is not that difficult, which is simulating designing the prototype and the system to meet the right efficiency, the best performance in terms of energy and and performance in terms of fishing industries and then technical challenge which is not that difficult either which would be to optimize the manufacturing process systems, installation methods, exploitation businesses, but then you have to very interesting and harsh challenges. So as an economic challenge you need a lot of energy for that you need to find green electricity in the gigawatt scale at the cost which would be under five cents dollars per kilowatt hour, so that would make a huge, huge problem in terms of capacity to provide energy. And this is something which needs to be addressed by solar panels for the overtake nuclear energy as efficient efficient, any way to try and find the right source of energy. And the last one is the biggest one is the legal challenge how to legally found the ocean so you have to make deals with governments with the fish industries with distributors with a lot of people so for example you will need to have the support of the US Navy if you try and start well on the west coast of the US, and you would have to have the approval of the US government to do that on an international level. Let's say between our way and the west coast, you would have to have this sort of approach so it's a really difficult challenge. The team of diverse skills communication lobbying security legal legal competencies fishing farming etc a lot of different competencies so that you could form the ocean and quickly transform. So where we use the world and we, and we live in this world for now. And as well it's coming to the talk about winter it's winter it's well. Thanks a lot. And happy to answer the question at the end. Wonderful thank you Sebastian. Thank you. Okay, the next team we have to present is team connectors. This is led by Saad Solomon. Saad, whenever you're ready, you can go ahead and share your screen. I don't see him on the list here so let me just move on to the next team and Saad if you are here or you join later will have you present at the end. The next team we have is team bio soul. This is led by Robert hockey day. So Robert, if you're on, please go ahead and share your screen. Good. Okay, good morning. Nice to see you all. And I'm Robert hockey day from the bio soul team and accelerating biology from to come carrying New Mexico. We have produced a greenhouse gas problem of about 51 gigatons per year. We have about 105 gigatons of biomass to work with. And most of that is from agriculture. It's estimated that we can capture the bio methane and carbon dioxide by anaerobically digesting the biomass and sequestering carbon dioxide and oil wells. We can remove about six gigatons a year. If we then convert what remains to culture nutrients we can restore our depleted agriculture soils and sequester another six to 19 gigatons a year. So we can take out roughly 49% of the greenhouse anthropological problem. We can remove that can be removed this process, the sticky details or how to implement that in the next 10 years. So, I need to show you the next slide. Forgot. Yeah. So that's the basic problem and a very fundamental solution use agriculture. And right now, what we're going to do is build a pilot plant, we own an ethanol plant and to carry New Mexico. We can capture about 58,000 metric tons of manure from 13,000 head of cattle with high temperature anaerobic digestion, processing out to 5000 metric tons of methane and 13,000 tons of carbon dioxide that we can sequester in local oil wells. And that ends up with a 60,000 metric tons of nutrients that you can then culture. Now this is the really interesting part now we can actually culture soil, and that we can actually restore soil, there's a lot of depleted soil in the United States and throughout the world so 130,000 to 530,000 metric tons per year from this little pilot plant. The idea is we have a bottom line that we can produce greenhouse gas reductions for about $29 a metric ton down to $7 a metric ton. That's our cost of a processing. We're looking for skilled, essentially bio operators, bio digester operators, owners of existing operational plants, and our plan is to retrofit an existing 130 old ethanol plants in the United States. But the general idea is we need to produce about a million digesters throughout the world. So we're looking for essentially people who can culture soil turns out soil is one of the most diverse cultures on the planet. And we have to do that very carefully we don't want to upset and actually destroy soil cultures we need to actually restore the soil cultures. And we have to engage almost all of agriculture to change agriculture so there's a variety of things that have to be done, if we're actually going to restore the soils. So we need dairy farmers, generally farmers ranchers, and in the end up any business that's in the business of fuel. We will be working with them. Thank you very much, and hope you contacted me. Thanks Robert. Thank you so much. Okay, I see people are kind of discussing in the chat. That's great. Just a reminder, we'll be sending a recording of this out. You're welcome to post questions in chat once we're done with all the presenters. See, if you, if you have questions about contacting anyone you can always contact us after this meeting. Okay, the next team we have up is team evolution led by Devin Christopher Rooney. Devin, whenever you're ready, go ahead and share your screen. Great, thank you very much. Yeah, I just like to start with the forward. I'm looking for people specializing in communications, environmental sciences, robotics engineers, as well as in operations. I apologize, I thought I only had two minutes specifically to pitch. So my plan to act as the issue head on and exceeds the 100 pounds of carbon dioxide career quickly and permanently moving skills. From the ocean. So I am fertilization occurs when wind blowing dust from iceberg glaciers and minerals is carried into the ocean due to climate change. We're no longer. We're no longer need to be introducing, we need to be introducing iron forizations iron deficient areas nourishing the bio planting which enhances the biological productivity and allows for carbon dioxide sequestration to become accelerated due to the predicted collapse and extinction of most marine life by 2050. Our team needs to conduct studies and prove the safety of iron for realization, save the ocean or race and sequester 20% of the human emitted part of it. Appropriate studies conducted and environmental and government officials contacted as well as the United Nations to help global approval and initiate iron seeding in all iron deficient areas of the oceans globally. One acre of trees absorb 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide per year versus an acre of camp absorbing 10 tons of CO2 per year. Hemp has its 12 to 14 week growing cycle farming robotics and tree planters to plant hemp entries in all global clear skies growing one acre of hemp yields as much papers four to 10 acres of trees and hemp can be converted into methanol and ethanol yielding 3,785 liters per acre of fuel by a thermal chemical convergent. There have been millions of acres of clear cuts globally and planting hemp on half of the existing global clear cuts will filter and sequester 15 billion times of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per year. So to join team evolution in seven days as I have to re-register my team is a team email your resume to illa.cypher at email.com or call 250-575-6602. Great. Thank you, Devin. Thank you very much. The next team we have up is Team Seawater Solution. We have Nathan White presenting for Team Seawater Solution. So Devin, if you can just stop sharing so that Nathan can hop on. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me today. I'm really excited to meet everybody. I'm excited to talk about our project as well. So today we're talking about Seawater Solution and the Carbon X Prize and really we're talking about this is a template for global expansion. We have the opportunity to develop a project that is currently in review with the California Natural Resources Agency for dust mitigation and salt and sea. They have toxic issues and receding water that's happening in the region. And we've developed a project that not only captures and sequesters a lot of carbon directly in both the salt and sea. Laguna Solada, the Colorado River Delta and the Northern Sea of Cortez, but more importantly in the Colorado River basin. So this is our project. We call it Trace Laguna or the Three Seas. So basically what we're talking about is utilizing strategic engineering enhancements of natural cycles. Basically the water cycle using different strategies and ocean water to enhance the currently existing monsoon cycles, specifically to this region, the North American monsoon. We're looking at enhancing that cycle in the context of the current drought that we're all facing here in the Southwest. It's a global issue, but specifically in the United States Southwest. It's expanding every year. We've had three record heat-breaking events just in the last few months and that's going to continue. So what we're looking at is trying to enhance and add additional evaporation. So talking about this region specifically, we do get a lot of evaporation and water transfer in the winter months. But in the Colorado River basin, a majority of the water that falls and flows is from the summer months and the North American monsoon cycle. So we're looking at about 750 billion gallons per year that can be deployed into the Colorado River basin. And it's astronomical to think of the carbon sequestration rates that can be generated from this as indirect carbon capture. But specifically to the direct carbon capture that we can look at, we can deploy floating island systems. We're working with Floating Islands West and Floating Islands International so we can capture carbon in the root structure floating on these water bodies. And we can also deploy phytoremediation and phytomining to extract heavy metals on land in and around this region. So you can see a couple of demonstrations of the berms that we'll use to separate salinity. Creating islands can also be an habitat and carbon sequestration directly in these water bodies. Also very specifically, some of our partners do seawater farming. So we can add an additional 500,000 acres around this area of arid desert landscape that can be producing green energy and green fuel as well as food. The regenerative resources team, they're amazing. They make jet fuel out of ocean water while they're also creating mangrove forests. So specifically to what we're looking about, looking at in this region is how do we enhance the cycles? How do we bring in using natural high tide and floods in this region? We have the highest tides in the world in the Northern Sea of Cortez. So we can basically direct that water into Laguna Salada and back around to stabilize the salinity for the endangered vikita that are in the Northern Sea of Cortez. This project itself to just flood Laguna Salada and get about 150,000 acres of new habitat along with mangrove forests is about $20 million to actually circulate that water and stabilize the salinity. It's about 350 million total. The total cost of what you see on your screen is about $1 billion, but we're looking at demonstrating the proof of concept, which is, will this project add water to the Colorado River Basin? Specifically, what we would deploy in this phase of the carbon capture competition is we would utilize two different companies to do regional climate models to show the evaporation effects. So we would build a demonstration facility here at Campo Ramona in and around Mexicali with the local puco pot red. And we're just showing how this can actually add and enhance the monsoon cycle by slightly modifying the water temperature that triggers those events. As you can see here that we're looking at seawater farming in and around the Salton Sea and around Laguna Salada. All of that adds to the evaporation potential, the economic opportunities. But we really see this as a green infrastructure type of project in and above just carbon capture. And we're really looking at this to not only the state but the federal government for assistance, not only the natural resources agency but all the way up if we can. Seawater solutions. This is really just a template that we can deploy around the world. We've already located about eight other properties and locations that this system could be deployed, but we just want to show that it works. I won't go into too much detail, but we got a lot of nice little animation shows itself. Join our team ages and this is my contact information. I'll put that in the chat. Great. Thank you, Nathan. Hi. Next team we have up is team equilibrium. Peter Goyen will be presenting for this team. There you are. Peter was not able to make it I will be presenting for the team. Okay, great. So my name is Mickey, and just a second I'll show my screen. Actually, I'm going to swap me around with somebody else and I'll I'll just I'm just having a bit of a technical problem here and sure. I'll start out and present up to the next speaker. Sure. Is sad Solomon on from team connectors. We missed you earlier. Not sure if you joined. I don't see your name here. Mickey you're actually team equilibrium is actually the last team that will be pitching so good. Okay, give me one. Not to add pressure or anything but I know good. Good. We'll wait for you to get get your screen. Oh good. Just a second. So this is a quick run through of who we are and what we do. So we are a marine agriculture tech startup. We're based in Australasia. Our team is multinational. We've got to cover several team members in Australia. I'm based in Melbourne and got another team member in Peter is based out of Darwin and we have several members in Israel. And we are an express team. And what we want to do is enable the growing of a variety of botany options on infrastructure that is scalable so basically we're focusing on the infrastructure that can be used to grow stuff on water. And specifically in saltwater. That's our team members. I'm sure you can find more information I come from the tech world. We all have marine interests in common. So what we set out to do is take. I've got the 2019 number here somebody mentioned 51 gigatons per annum earlier. So we wanted to take, we wanted to take that much out. And our analysis is that you can if you do three things at once you can actually get to scale. The first one is the first thing you want to do is take out CO2. You want to remain eco positive. And when I say remain eco positive over the long term, I mean the use of local species we can just go and have one species of kelp or one species of mangrove and just cover the entire ocean with it because it's going to pollute many environments and create an unexpected outcomes. So we're going to have an Australian rabbit proof fence as a 19th century example of what happens if you kind of jump in without assessing. So what we mean what we really mean is infrastructure that can be cognizant of what is happening around it with it includes sensors and compute and can actually draw information about what it's doing and they have the infrastructure able to change to to be flexible enough to change its purpose and not single purpose built infrastructure. And the third thing we are thinking is how can you make this scalable support to be scalable it needs to be something that various communities various local authorities actually want and benefit from it needs to make commercial sense and it needs to basically be designed as a modern technology stack. So what we're doing is what would what will grow on our infrastructure is below water farming meaning killer thing, things like brown algae, red algae, potentially green algae inside of bacteria but the focus right now is really on the things we know have commercial uses because we wanted to be profitable. So we're looking at basically floating tiles of mangrove trees as a that you extend from the coastline. And those would be sold to various local authorities as coastline erosion protection or just regeneration of mangrove forests where there is commercial desire to do that. So that works. At the bottom we've got a rope and anchor grid, basically like long line fishing you have rope with boys at the end but this is a two dimensional grid. The grid is anchored. On top of that there's a second buoyancy tier and on top of that we'll sit here. The buoyancy tier are the boy, the design that you see here is outdated. But they are boys sit on ropes and then on top of that you can either have payload in the form of compute modules or payload in the form of platforms or payload in the form of ropes immersed in the water. The idea is to have the infrastructure rapidly iteratable so the buoyancy modules are very easy to replace they're all top serviceable so they're ready for automation and drone ready for the future. And yeah, so the way that with the way a user story would work for example is a community looking to develop spring eco assets would spend a year or two setting up a waterside factory farm, they would identify tree species, get the local experts required to point out what kind of plans we're working with secure the funding and land and commence developing about eight hectares per year. In subsequent stages that would turn into revenue maturation and in the third stage they would become cash. In the event of mangrove trees it's kind of a nonprofit community sponsored so they just become cash neutral enough in the event of, or in the use case of kelp they would actually become cash positive. That's the start because they're profitable. And I won't go through the whole, the second story here but that's the, that's the general approach that we're taking. We are looking for other in other teams that we're already talking to several customers in Indonesia. We're looking at other teams that can once we do have for example 10 years worth of trees that you harvest how you sequester that carbon so how you sequester the CO2 and that. So we are looking for partners that would be that can take care of that part of the problem with us. You can find us on poke. And that's what I've got. Great. Thanks, Mickey. We do have one last presenter. We have Brian Espinosa from hybridity. My name is Brian Espinosa. I'm an aspiring startup founder. I greatly observed objectives defined and architect. I'm very grateful for this opportunity to present the idea for the removal of carbon emissions and our quest to a carbon as a society. The following prototypes and carbon capture technologies work with our red capture based processes and natural remediation such as rain harvesting and scientific saboteur reaction, which leads for all sequester CO2 to be filtered as clean air or produced as energy such as methane fuel and electricity. Here a green sustainable architecture is presented as hybridity to building structures coming together through a cascade waterfall. The cascade is one of the two innovative carbon capture technologies that is being pitched for our common goal in this competition. The other being the facade panels as shown in the diagrams along the rendering. The building prototype is designed to sequester a total of at least 31 gigatons. Of course, this is just a pitch that I was actually already working on for our interests as architects for carbon as zero environment and it was perfect for the competition so we brought it in. So this actual prototype is designed, you know to sequester total 31 gigatons per year, as it is and that right now through these technologies while filtering and producing large amounts of energy and clean air for its own self sufficiency and environment. The cascade waterfall technology works through the use of algae metal zinc and aluminum to capture the necessary carbon in the air and filter it with the use of a sprinkler down the cascade, allowing the capture CO2 to be sequestered and harvested with new particles for cleansing filtering and production of carbon at the end of the cascade to catch in tanks begin a process for methane fuel and great water as shown in these tower diagrams representing the hydro purifying tower, using a specific formula to calculate the amount of sequester CO2 release filtered air and production of fuel water based on building heights. The hydro purifying wall works with the cascade technology as well at an X scale instead of the Y scale, becoming a wall allowing for opportunities of breaking air winds and ocean ties, while sequestering carbon dioxide and filtering it through the use of panel systems materialized with algae and harvesting water with carbon dioxide for the development of carbon acid. The acid is then processed for methane fuel to produce the necessary, necessary energies for the ventilation systems of the war to suck large amounts of carbon emissions and exhaust large amounts of clean filtered air. On the other hand as we investigate the opportunities with the facade panel technology. We have the electro purifying wall which works through the intake of carbon dioxide and solar energy to produce a self sufficient ventilator remediator or filtered air. The facade panels materialized with algae filter the dirty air, while the solar energy captured and process through the metals and copper allow for an electric circuit to produce the work energy required for the mechanical vent systems. This wall panel sequesters a large amount of carbon emissions releases a large amount of filtered air and produces a large amount of wattage for power supply. With the same facade panel technology, a prototype is developed as the electric purifying tower, which produces the possibilities of sequestering large amounts of carbon emissions at the gigaton level. Her year filter and large amounts of air and producing quality amounts of wattage per minute introducing a new electric power supply for a town or community. This tower can become a city node or development for data driven systems in the concept diagram here. You see, you see, excuse me in the concept diagram here. We see that the that the self sufficient system is working based on airflow and direct capture and the solar energy, the power supplies produced for the vent systems to suck an exhaust large amounts of air. In all, these technologies of the cascade waterfall in the facade panels give us a way to sequester carbon dioxide at the gigaton level, using different natural materials and direct capture based processes, filtering clean air through vents and producing energy systems for a self sufficient production through harvesting material and particle reactions for methane fuel and electric power supply to follow up with this matchmaking process. At the start of is that seed level seeking funding and really looking for partnership and a team with the interests of architecture engineering geology oceanography and business strategy so many for this competition. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the prototypes or the numbers associated with cost values and stuff. Thank you. Okay, thank you. We do have, we have a couple more teams. There may have been confusion about whether you are presenting or not we did contact teams present who've been selected. And another message was sent out to confirm your participation so if you missed that one I'm sorry. We just have we have time for two more. We have the Tobias Brett from rock farm. And just a reminder if you can be, you know, conscious of the time, since we do still need time for questions and answers, and we did have planned some breakout sessions to be able to allow you all to talk in smaller groups. So Tobias. Yes. Hi there Tobias, I think we're having trouble hearing you. Or is it just me. No, I'm not able to hear him either. So yes, we can't hear you. Okay, Tobias. Are you muted. None of us can hear you. Why don't we, why don't we move on to the last team. That is. Let's see. Check the name really quick. Junior apprentice planetary engineers. And that's Andrew Jerem, Jeremco, I'm sorry if I mispronounced. From planet junior apprentice planetary engineers. Tobias if you can stop your screen share so we can allow Andrew to present. That would be great. And then we can come back to you if, you know, once you figure out your sound issues. Thank you to capture CO2. Go where it is. Waves and wind do the dissolving. Seawater contains 140 times more total CO2 by volume than air does. Make it work for us. So we can work together existing technology to do the job. The US Navy research laboratory developed and patented a CO2 removal system. And I'm sure there are ways I don't know about after capture. We sequester it in C4 basalts. All from one floating platform. We can work with renewable ocean thermal energy in the tropics and generation for nuclear power. Well, anywhere. We achieve gigaton scale and gig and million year sequestration times in the roomy tropical ocean deserts. Minimal sea life and no neighbors means no NIMBY. The salts have enough room for over 100 trillion tons of CO2. Gigaton scale carbon removal builds an industrial platform and cash flows to support ocean farming, ocean colonization, carbon capture and use, and all the things we haven't invented yet. Everybody working on the oceans knows needs to know about sea steadying.org. The feet in the ocean boots on the ground and hands on the tools. I am landlocked 72 years old and in a wheelchair. I offer time and motivation. I want to contribute to solutions to join teams to bring teams together to help in any way I can on our first conscious planetary scale engineering project. Your planet needs you. I'm finding them where to stop. My screen sharing. There we go. Okay, thank you so much Andrew. It looks like Tobias couldn't figure out the sound issue, so we're not going to hear from him today. But we do have one more team and that's C negative. Thank you, I'm going to present in just a second. I really appreciate the opportunity by the way and thank you to everybody who's listening. So the first thing I want to mention is we don't have much time so I just want to point you in the direction of our website, it is C dash or minus or a poster or hyphen negative. Or G. The information and contacts are there. Why do we why do we start C negative. We want to make sure that we have a global impact. So it is not just about winning the price. It's about having processes that can be incorporated into supply chains. We really believe that without the corporate participation without economic incentives. There's very little opportunity for why as acceptability that's a challenge for all of the projects I have presented today. Also, I want to mention our process deals with direct air capture and specifically ionic transport of CO2 products which are basically carbon and oxygen ions. The most difficult part for our process as well as for many of the processes that have presented today is the coupling of the different stages, since it's a complex process multi process multi stage proposition. And basically what we're trying to accomplish is to make it as efficient and as cheap as possible to make that integrated process work as well as as possible. So what we have tried to do is to generate different allotropes of carbon, including carbon nanoparticles and silicon carbide we've already had success in the production of that. We're trying to produce silicon carbide bricks. Here's an example of that. We just wanted we want anybody who's available and we value your skills and talents. The reason for that is that C negative is not just about the CO2 challenge. We're participating in multiple challenges and seeking multiple opportunities with what we are trying to do is to become a viable company for us to do that this is a great opportunity if you want to get in on the ground floor. For us to get to know each other. And finally I want to mention that we have great swag if you become a member so please do join us if you have the opportunity. Okay, so that is the extent of my presentation and thank you very much for your time. And let's see if I can stop sharing. Thanks. Swag is always an incentive. There you go. Okay, thank you. Okay, that is all we have for pitches today. For those of you can stay on. You're welcome to stay on I'm going to extend this for another 30 minutes or so. But we'd like to take maybe five to 10 minutes to open up the chat if anybody wants to ask questions to teams directly that they heard present today. I think what what should first happen is each team that presented if you want to show your contact details in the chat quickly. You know, for anyone that wants it now. You can go ahead and do that. Question from Derek yes, there will be another session like this one we kind of wanted to try this out to see how it would work. It looks like people are enjoying watching the presentations and we want to give as many teams a chance to connect with others as possible so we will be holding another one of these in the coming weeks. And if you didn't hear anything back. You should have heard something back for me. We had about 31 people respond to survey. You were either not selected because your solution was out of scope, or what we could tell from what you described. So we had a lot of scope for the requirements of the competition. We also gave preference to fully registered teams first. So we encourage you to register, you know, to be able to be considered for next time as well. You can hear me. Can you hear me. Who it. Nelson. Yes. Can I can ask you something. But it's a relation to to financing. I was looking for, you know, trying to get, I was trying to get the money to build the model. So I encounter in these companies, let me tell you real quick. The company that the catalysis program. This company, I think, is, is owned by building that one of the main requirements is for this, the closing of anything that you, the technology that you're doing in order to get the money. So I don't know if that's going to create a consideration when it comes to, you know, to what we're doing here because supposedly technology. You know, I don't know exactly how it's going to play out if you actually find food that's closing with somebody else just to get them money and then they want to apply the technology. I don't know. I just am a little bit confused about that. Can you please help me a little bit. So are you, I'm sorry, I think I say you're looking for help with financing. Is that correct. Okay. I was looking, I was searching for financing. Right. While I was looking for it, I found these companies called the catalysis program. And they tell them you need to do everything that you do and you know, architecture and things in order for them to get the money. So I don't know if that's, you know, a good thing for what we're doing. I just want to know if that's okay. I'm not sure I understand we that's sort of we're not in a position to help people secure financing or, you know, we will definitely identify. No, no, no, no. Well, Nelson, can you please contact us via email just because we want to leave this session, you know, targeted towards those who presented. Yes, we don't want to use this time for that. And we welcome you to join one of our future webinars that are, you know, strictly for questions and answers about the competition. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Okay. All right, it looks like some people have put in their questions in the chat or no their contact information. What I'm going to do is I'm going to, I'm going to break people out into breakout sessions. So that'll just give you an opportunity to kind of connect with each other for a few minutes and I might be I'll probably be switching you around. I'm going to do that right now and you'll you should see a change in your screen that puts you into a breakout room and then I'll invite you all back. Hi, William, that you I think you're muted. Yeah, if you joined late you didn't get assigned to a breakout room everyone's in a breakout room right now. So I can see if I can add you. Let me see. Hmm. I don't think that's possible right now. Hi. Can I ask you a question? I know you're busy right now. Yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry I think I think maybe you joined late or I joined on time I just, I just stayed behind. Oh, I didn't even break out room. Okay. Oh, you're able to leave. Yeah, you can leave the breakout room. Mm hmm. Okay, good. Okay, yeah, sure. What, what can I. Okay. My main question is about the insurance, just part of the insurance. So I don't know if you know anything about that if not, that's in the legal document the competitor agreement right. Yeah, yeah, so that's my basically my main block right now that is being fully registered. Oh, okay. So I didn't know if you have any, you know, we, we, we encourage people to get insurance once they start working on anything that is directly for the purposes of the prize. So that's really, you know, our concern. So I'm assuming you have some sort of insurance to cover your operations if you do. But I think we will be validating that, you know, closer to when, when we will be visiting teams, you know, for later in the competition but like for liability reasons you know I think it's smart to get your own insurance to cover you as soon as you start any sort of operations on on the product like, you know, for the purposes of the competition. It's a little of a non answer but it's No, it's okay. That's that makes good things I just I was just trying to figure out like where to get it and then if I don't get it. And I say like I can never do it or whatever and I just try to join a team. That's okay too right. Yeah, that's okay. And also is it possible for one person to be in more than one team. Um, I can read the rules if you're not. Yeah, I'll have to get back to you on that. I'm not sure we haven't really had that happen before. I think in that case sometimes people contract with different people but maybe send us a question about that and we can review that with our legal team is okay if I referred one of my immediate relatives to a team is that that's not considered. Yeah, yeah, if you can note, that would be great I need to get back to these rooms though unfortunately. Okay, sorry. Okay, thank you so much for your help. Have a good day. Bye. I had a quick question while you're waiting to start. Are we supposed to be getting notices of these meetings because I haven't been from my dashboard and my email. Um, yeah, do you, do you have, are you getting any of our newsletters. They're usually posted in there under the events section. Oh, they're not, they're not sent out to email. They are if we if you we send it to the team lead that signed up on pop and so that's the contact information we'll have for everyone. That's that's where the newsletter goes. We also have an events page on our prize page. So if you click on the upcoming events tab that's where you'll see that. Can you hear me. We can hear you, William. Yeah. Can you hear me. Yeah, we can hear you. So I'm going to do one more round of these. I hope you found them useful, but we'll probably keep it a little shorter just to mix up people. But we're going to put you in a room. I think there's a few people that either left the rooms or didn't join, but really it's to network, introduce yourself introduce your project, ask questions. Can you hear me. Yes. We're not going to be another presentation next time, or we will be doing another matchmaking session. We haven't scheduled yet but it should be, you know, in the coming weeks. We also have informational webinars that will be held twice a month. We'll be sending invites out or links to register for shortly. So check our events page on the website. That's that's probably the kind of one stop for everything coming up. Did you ever figure out why I wasn't included that there was asked to be included for for presentation. I'm not sure. I received an email saying that you are been selected to make a presentation. I worked on presentation I'm here on time for that presentation, and I wasn't able to give the presentation. I did send another email asking teams to confirm their participation. Following that so if I didn't hear from you from there. Probably why you weren't so I never got another email converting any reservoirs. Well, apologies for that we will be. If you were selected you will be able to present for our next matchmaking matchmaking session. That's what I wanted to find out. Thank you very much because I think this is a very important approach to this problem. And I need to find out if there's another team. I can join and or have team members join my team. I apologize. I made me kicked out of the room by accident or I made the wrong flight. Yeah, let me, I'm sorry. Okay, we'll put you back in. Thank you. I got knocked back out of mind. The center was closing in 59 seconds. So I left. And sorry about the group. I thought I was still texting somebody directly and I accidentally sent to the, to the whole group. So, ignore that. But we still aren't receiving the newsletters. So. Okay. I'm going to have to manually add you and I think to our list that we use. So, okay. I'm a little bit afraid that's what happened. Somebody typed it because I don't have an alias is aliases set up so you don't spell Debbie writing people very habitually. It's really, it's the email that was used when whoever registered and pop. And that's, that's what it would go to. I get out the rest of the emails from it, you know notifications of team pick up invitations and things so if you could do that please appreciate it. And we did. One of us accidentally stumbled across the place where these meetings were, but there. Yeah, there wasn't anything evident from the express page. Yeah, the dashboard seems kind of wanting and that it's not easy to navigate it seems to be missing a lot of the information like about these meetings and stuff. Yeah, we don't have events on the dashboard pop is where you, you know, look for other teams and upload your submissions when that time comes. The notifications of events are through the newsletter or they're always posted on our events page on the website. So, that's just a clarification on that the dashboard is is not really a forum for to share things like that. Okay, pop is what like the overall. The prize operations platform and that's where sort of all of the, you know, where you create a team profile maybe look for other teams in the competition. Complete registration and then you know when the time comes upload your submissions. So it's it's a portal. Is that specific to the carbon X prize or is it like we're combining all of the prices. All our prizes use use that platform. Yeah, and our challenges. Okay, I am going to. So are we supposed to be in a breakout room right now or what. There should have been an option for you to choose a breakout but it looks like. I did and then I said I was closing in 59 seconds so I left and ended up back here. Okay, I think we're, we're kind of short on time I was trying to squeeze in another breakout session but we've already gone at 30 minutes over today. That was about five minutes ago that it said there was 59 seconds left so. Yeah. Yeah, thanks everyone for joining. We will be sending out a recording of today's session to everyone that joined, and we'll be having another one of these. Pretty soon. I haven't scheduled it yet but it's coming. If you weren't able to present today. You know, we'll definitely consider you for next time, and stay tuned for more events and info sessions from us always check the upcoming events page on our website, but thanks for for joining. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Hi everyone. Thank you everyone. Thank you. Let's help the planet. Thank you for your opportunity guys. You're welcome. Thank you.
