Someone Like You: Kelly Erhart, President & Co-Founder

Kelly Erhart, President & Co-Founder — Project Vesta

Aug 24, 2022

In this week’s episode, we welcome Kelly Erhart, President & Co-Founder of Project Vesta. The mission of Project Vesta is to advance the science of Coastal Carbon Capture — the ocean’s equivalent of planting trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Coastal Carbon Capture harnesses the power of the oceans to accelerate the earth’s natural long-term carbon dioxide removal process and can be accelerated by taking carbon-removing olivine sand and spreading it in coastal areas. Kelly is a repeat co-founder with a passion for our planet committed to reframing complex issues into applied solutions. In July, Project Vesta launched their very first field project in the town of Southampton, NY, where olivine was spread on North Sea Beach.
