Solving a global challenge The origins of Carbon Cap Inc. can be traced back to a chance observation between two hockey dads sitting in a Tim Hortons in Hamilton, Ontario. As they watched smoke billowing from the top of a nearby apartment building, Raphael couldn’t help but think, “That can’t be good for the environment.” This thought lingered, especially as climate change dominated the Globe and Mail magazine that was sitting in front of them. Raphael’s extensive background—spanning nearly four decades in industries such as food and beverage processing, durable goods, and manufacturing—compelled him to take action. He climbed to the top of that building with a heat gun in hand, discovering that it was emitting between 300 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit of thermal energy as waste. Moreover, this energy was contributing to harmful carbon emissions. Solving that problem became Raphael’s new mission. OCTOBER 2024
