Tackling climate change is a serious business.
This is the award-winning story of a startup that wants to remove carbon from the atmosphere and help reshape our relationship with the planet. Ideally without burning to the ground in the process.
It was a good few years back when Tom Previte stumbled across biochar. That was during the first season of a podcast he co-hosts - ‘The Carbon Removal Show’. And it turns out that this biochar stuff… it's not just an ancient technology but also a cutting-edge solution for today’s climate problems.
Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey captures the highs and lows of a green startup - from sharp learning curves to unlikely breakthroughs. Listen in as Tom digs deep into the realities and complexities of setting up a carbon removal project, and gets to grips with the science, the money, and everything it takes to build an environmentally (and financially) sustainable business.
Because if we’re going to save the planet, we’re going to need a lot more businesses like this one.

As he nears the end of the year, Tom starts thinking about what lies beyond his biochar pilot. He reflects on everything he’s learned, talks to some others who’ve walked this path before, and dares to imagine a life less smoky. But is he finally ready to start answering some of the big questions he grappled with in his first days? And has his time in the country changed him – for better or worse - forever?
