Dr. Amandine Cadiau (Stathmos-Balance the Climate) is the CEO of Stathmos-Balance the Climate, a Direct Air Capture (DAC) company. After a PhD in material science, she practiced research in the field of porous material (metal-organic framework) during 10 years in 4 different countries. Then, she was awarded a MOPGA grant (Make our planet great again -EUR 1.5 million) and got the opportunity to demonstrate the potential use of these materials for CDR. Today, she uses that knowledge to develop next-generation direct air capture technology.
