Founder & Chief Scientist

About Charles Jaquays

Pioneering Circular Economy Scientist & Renewable Energy Innovator

I’m a self-taught polymath with over two decades of hands-on experience transforming sustainable-energy visions into utility-scale reality. From designing 300 MW wind farms in North America to architecting solar thermal performance frameworks, I fuse rigorous thermodynamics with bold innovation to tackle the planet’s toughest environmental challenges.

Outside the lab, I’ve spent nearly twenty years building high-capacity microwave networks across six Caribbean islands—proving that complex engineering can thrive in off-grid, resource-constrained environments. And because I believe nothing less than humanity’s survival is at stake, I’ve also developed a scalable, affordable gigaton-capacity carbon-capture-and-sequestration system designed for the X-Prize stage.

Key Achievements

Led design and operations for 300 MW+ wind-power portfolios—achieving 98 % uptime and delivering $50 million in annual renewable-energy credits.
Engineered solar thermal systems’ performance-monitoring protocols that boosted energy yield by 12 % and cut unplanned downtime by 15 %.
Interpreted and influenced clean-energy policies across Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean—speaking to audiences from college students to national leaders.
Built and maintained high-capacity microwave infrastructure since 2004, connecting over 1,000 endpoints across six Caribbean islands.
Invented a modular, gigaton-scale carbon-capture & sequestration platform—ready for X-Prize validation and global deployment.

Vision & Philosophy

I believe industrial “waste” is merely unrealized value. My mission is to close the loop on energy and materials—turning byproducts like Red Mud and captured CO₂ into scalable solutions for agriculture, construction, and beyond.

When I’m not prototyping the next breakthrough, you’ll find me delivering keynote talks on climate tech or hiking coastal trails in Grenada—always chasing the next big idea.
