Dr. Alexander C. Gagnon is CEO and Co-Founder of Banyu Carbon. Banyu Carbon is developing a low-energy carbon capture process that uses light as its major source of energy. The easy-to measure stream of CO2 that we produce can be geologically stored to provide permanent high-quality carbon removal credits or the CO2 can be used as a feedstock for green chemical like synthetic fuels. Banyu Carbon has secured a first set of customers through a Frontier Pre-Purchase agreement. Alex is also an Associate Professor of Chemical Oceanography at the University of Washington. He received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Caltech and he completed a postdoc at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkely National Lab. He is an NSF CAREER awardee, Kavli Felow, and an Activate Fellow.
