Jos Hoetjes, a chemical engineer at BC Biocarbon’s plant on Mountainview Road, holds a piece of carbon, a byproduct that has many characteristics of graphene. Hoetjes says the Mountainview plant can create many of the substances derived from oil and coal, the difference being, they are from a renewable source. “If we wanted to be carbon neutral tomorrow, we could do it. The technologies are here,” said Hoetjes. He’s excited about the work and the potential of their technology. “This is exactly what I want to be doing right now,” he said. / ANDRU MCCRACKEN[rl_gallery id=”37421″]Related Posts:This week in photos: Aug 8th 2019This week in photos: Oct 17 2019This week in photos: September 19thThis week in photos: Nov. 7th 2019This week in photos: Dec 19th 2019Post navigationVCTV wins and the community does tooCongrats grads!
