Mailbag episode! Biotech, layoffs, battery recycling and more

On the Catalyst with Shayle Kann podcast this week:

It’s that time of year when we reach into our listener mailbag and answer your questions. And you had some good ones. In this episode, Shayle once again hands the mic to guest host Sarah Golden, VP of energy at GreenBiz. Together they cover topics including:

• The role of biology in creating fossil-fuel-free materials.

• Whether the marginal cost of electricity is heading toward zero.

• Solving the dilemma of financing first-of-a-kind projects.

• The impact of tech layoffs on climatetech.

• The biggest roadblocks to decarbonization.

• What role battery recycling will play in addressing the shortage of lithium and other critical minerals.
