From Waste to Watts: Gneuton’s Bold Vision for Clean Energy and AI
Manage episode 484100669 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders Future, host Ammar Elm is joined by Brad Martineau, CEO of Gneuton, a company revolutionizing the intersection of clean tech and artificial intelligence. Gneuton is transforming oil field wastewater—one of the industry's most challenging environmental byproducts—into a powerful off-grid energy source capable of fueling AI data centers.
Brad shares the compelling backstory of how former NASA rocket scientist Tommy Joseph developed the core technology, initially aimed at solving water access in remote regions. Today, that same innovation is being scaled to tackle a global challenge: cleaning millions of barrels of toxic “produced water” and converting it into both fresh water and electricity using jet turbine engines powered by stranded natural gas.
Tune in to hear how Gneuton’s breakthrough system delivers carbon-neutral, water-positive solutions while addressing the growing power demands of AI—without burdening the public grid. This conversation is a deep dive into frontier innovation with massive environmental and technological impact.
