Ep 10: Tech Entrants - Miners of the Future? (Kurt House, PhD)

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Kurt House, co-founder and CEO of Kobold Metals and a professor at Stanford University. A serial entrepreneur for over a decade now, he’s leading the company armed with experiences ranging from his Harvard PhD, MIT post-doc and Big 3 management consulting too. Kurt challenges the boundaries between the natural resources and technology sectors, offering a refreshing take on the future of heavy industry. In this episode, we chat about harnessing digitalization, and AI in particular, to access the metals and minerals necessary to drive the green revolution, to mitigate global warming and take serious climate action. A highly knowledgable and intellectual co-host, Kurt explains the intricacies of a clean energy transition in the short-term to enable circular economy models in the long-term, and what exactly his company is doing to fast track this objective.
