The friends, all engineers by training, had designed a machine that could turn agricultural waste, like almond shells, into renewable hydrogen fuel. The company would take those almond shells and other types of biomass, convert them into a carbon-rich oil, and inject the oil deep underground. That’s where carbon removal comes in.
