Energy Tech Startups

Chris Westmoreland and Jason Wozniak explain how Renu Energy Services is transforming oil and gas operations by converting waste into usable energy, cutting emissions, and creating new value from previously discarded resources. They dive into the financial, engineering, and operational challenges of waste-to-energy projects, how AI is improving efficiency and outcomes, and why modular, scalable solutions are key to deploying this technology across both new and existing sites, ultimately reframing waste as an asset rather than a liability.
