Turning Ashes into Assets: Brando Crespi’s Vision for Bio-Based Climate Solutions

In this episode of Green Disruptors, we sit down with Brando Crespi, founder of Global Biocarbons, a company turning wildfire-damaged biomass into biochar and sustainable biocarbons that could replace fossil-fuel-based carbon black in cement, plastics, and even electronics.

Brando shares his incredible journey—from launching luxury brands on Rodeo Drive to leading biodiversity missions across the globe—and how a moment of clarity after witnessing New Mexico’s worst wildfire sparked his latest venture.

We explore how Global Biocarbons is leveraging waste materials to decarbonize trillion-dollar industries, the untapped potential of biochar, and the role of systems thinking in building a resilient climate economy.

This is a conversation for anyone interested in circular design, regenerative materials, or just really big, bold ideas.
