After 40+ years as a research scientist for a nonprofit, the U.S. government, and a university, I have semi-retired to do some writing and consulting on projects that I find interesting. Soeder Geoscience LLC is up and running as a West Virginia corporation, and I am available for consulting opportunities in shale gas geology, environmental effects of fracking, carbon dioxide capture and geologic carbon sequestration, and engineered geothermal technologies (https://www.soedergeoscience.com/). One of those "interesting" projects turned out to be a direct air capture method for carbon dioxide that uses small, self-powered units the size of marine cargo containers to remove CO2 through membranes mounted on wind turbine blades. We have called the concept "Carbon Blade" and founded a company (https://www.carbon-blade.com/).
