While developing a process to produce hydrogen from biomass, a happy \u201caccident\u201d led Mike to the invention of a miracle \u201cplant food\u201d and fertilizer. What\u2019s beautiful about Mike\u2019s solution is that the feedstock for his fertilizer is food waste, or as he\u2019s brilliantly rechristened it: food grade fuel. With food waste being one of the greatest contributors to CO2 emissions, how elegant to use that waste to feed plants and restore the soil. Not to mention that hydrogen is essentially a \u201cfree\u201d byproduct of the process. All this and a lucrative business model to boot!
