In this conversation with Kevin Kung, the Co-Founder and CTO of Takachar,  winner of the first ever Earthshot Prize, we dive into the future of local waste innovations and share advice for researchers who want to create technologies together with existing communities. Takachar makes small-scale, low-cost, portable equipment to convert waste biomass into solid fuel and fertilizer, with a mission to fight climate change by transforming waste into marketable products. Kevin built Takachar’s core technology as part of his Ph.D. research at MIT, where he traveled to India extensively and designed the tech to meet specific local needs.
