Real Ice and their plan to save Arctic sea ice
The Arctic is warming at an alarming rate, leading to dramatic declines in sea ice. A UK-based start-up, Real Ice, is tackling this crisis by developing innovative technology to thicken Arctic sea ice. But can this ambitious project succeed, and is it financially sustainable? Skip Montreux and Samantha Vega explore the environmental and business implications of Real Ice’s mission to save the Arctic. They discuss the science behind Arctic ice loss, the albedo effect, and the cyclical nature of global warming. They also examine the business model designed to fund Real Ice’s initiative. The conversation sheds light on the company’s plans, challenges in scaling operations, and the role of ‘cooling credits’ in making this project financially viable. D2B 353 examines how Real Ice’s innovative approach to thickening Arctic sea ice is addressing one of the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges. Do you like what you hear?
