Hosted by Latitude Media
We already have many of the climate solutions we need. But scaling them is hard. The Green Blueprint is a show about the people who are architecting the clean economy.

The Green Blueprint ranks #175 on The B2B Podcast Index with a substance score of 81.0 out of 100, scored across 1 recent episode. It scores highest on guest caliber and specificity & evidence. Jaramillo is a deep practitioner: 20+ years in batteries, built Tesla's storage business from scratch over seven years, and is now CEO of a hard-tech company that has actually raised hundreds of millions, constructed a million-square-foot factory, and proved 119-hour discharge - not a thought-leader but someone who has genuinely done the thing.
Averaged across 1 recently scored episode, with cited evidence.
The episode has genuine pockets of technical substance - the raw material cost comparison, the three-environment manufacturing framework, the design simplification metrics, and the AI-accelerated material discovery - but roughly half the runtime is narrative filler, emotional processing, and broad startup-journey storytelling that adds little for a B2B operator.
“the raw cost of materials that's less than a dollar per kilowatt hour. Right. This is as compared to, let's say unprocessed minerals for lithium ion that sitting on a table is 30 bucks a kilowatt hour”
“we reduce the amount of seal path from the first design to the second design by more than 75%”
The decision to build co-optimization modeling tools before even selecting a chemistry is a genuinely counterintuitive and original strategic move rarely discussed in hardware-startup discourse; the AI-driven discovery that iron oxidation exceeded its own theoretical energy limits is a striking and novel claim, elevating the episode above standard cleantech narratives.
“even before we picked the chemistry to work on...we built software tools...complex CO optimization modeling tools”
“milliamp hours per gram...was higher than the predicted, uh, theoretical limit of what you could get for that reaction”
Jaramillo is a deep practitioner: 20+ years in batteries, built Tesla's storage business from scratch over seven years, and is now CEO of a hard-tech company that has actually raised hundreds of millions, constructed a million-square-foot factory, and proved 119-hour discharge - not a thought-leader but someone who has genuinely done the thing.
“I've been in batteries now for 20 plus years. I was at Tesla working exclusively on lithium ion for seven plus years”
“we went from quite literally batteries the size of a cup like a coffee cup, to batteries that are now £80,000 in a shipping container”
The episode delivers a solid set of concrete numbers - $290M state financing for 750 jobs, $150M DOE grant, 9-month construction timeline, 1M sq ft factory, 119 hours discharge proven, 75%/two-thirds design reductions, sub-$1/kWh vs ~$30/kWh material costs - though some claims (the AI discovery, the acceleration timelines) are left insufficiently substantiated.
“the State, um, provided $290 million of financing in exchange for 750 jobs by the end of 2028”
“We ended up making more than 100,000 electrodes...60 miles worth of material kind of flowing through the factory”
The host asks logically sequenced questions and covers sensible ground but is overwhelmingly affirming throughout, never pushing back on extraordinary claims - including the assertion that Form discovered something 'humanity did not know' about iron oxidation - and closes with a throwaway '$100 million' hypothetical rather than probing the hardest commercial and technical uncertainties.
“Uh, so I just got goosebumps, which I'll tell you probably more than anything, what a huge nerd I am. That is so unbelievably cool.”
“So cool, uh, big success in opening the factory. And that leads you to the privilege of solving the next set of challenges.”
