“I am enjoying working at CE and I’m excited to be a part of a team developing and managing carbon removal projects. The company is full of likeminded, hardworking individuals collaborating to progress DAC technology and climate change solutions. Before joining CE, I worked in the Natural Gas Industry which gave me great experience on large scale projects, but I never really felt a connection to the projects I was working on. Working on projects with CE is always interesting and I feel a greater sense of purpose as we are working towards creating real change at a global scale with our DAC technology.”

At CE I have designed and tested bench scale equipment, operated our DAC pilot plant, and commissioned our AIR TO FUELSTM system. I now work on the mechanical design of future plants. There are exciting problems to solve at every level of the organization, and there are rarely easy answers. Having to constantly figure things out is a challenge but doing so with a talented and spirited team is my favourite part of working here. I could not ask for a more dynamic or exciting start to my career.
