Do you remember your grade school science class where your teacher discussed the concept of phase change materials? Have you ever heard of products that either absorb or produce heat depending on the change in ambient conditions? Do you want to know how you can transport food, medicines, and keep your rooms at your preferred temperature - without putting in a large amount of energy?

In a world where temperatures vary so dramatically from one location and season to the next, we need to manage heat. Vaccines and other pharmaceuticals need to be kept at a certain temperature. Food isn\\u2019t inviting if it\\u2019s delivered cold. Similarly ,buildings are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions as we spend a tremendous amount of energy and money keeping comfortable temperatures.

\\xa0Govi Rao is the CEO of Phase Change Energy Solutions Inc. \\u2013 a 10-year old manufacturing company based in North Carolina. Phase Change Energy Solutions creates smart materials that act as thermal batteries. Their storage systems maintain temperatures in small packages for pharmaceuticals and food, and save energy in rooms and buildings. Phase Change Solutions also contribute to decarbonization through energy efficiency and resiliency.

\\xa0Phase Change Solutions\\u2019 products are composed of plant-based bio materials that will last 75 to 100 years and won\\u2019t degrade. The products are easy to install, without any moving parts. They require zero maintenance, as thermal energy does all the job. You can just let it sit where the temperature should be managed, and voila! All the heating and cooling will be controlled.\\xa0

SuperNova #1. The simple aspect of saving energy today can be accomplished in more ways than one. While we wait for the next big thing, there are several things that are happening today that you can start and can help us get into energy savings. There are many solutions available today. Don\\u2019t wait for tomorrow. The time to wait is over.\\xa0

\\xa0

SuperNova #2. Eliminating waste is a big aspect of what we\\u2019re about and the materials we provide, and of course, everything that drives to making our living environments more comfortable while conserving energy and bringing resiliency. We continue to make an impact, and that\\u2019s what keeps us motivated every day. That\\u2019s exactly the reason why we get up and do what we do.\\xa0\\xa0

\\xa0

SuperNova #3. Now it\\u2019s a question of scale. The more phase change bio PCM materials that we can make and put out there, the more carbon emissions we\\u2019re able to reuse, the better it is on the comfort level, more people are able to access food, food doesn\\u2019t get thrown away, and the impact of all these is less plastic is thrown away.\\xa0



Worst Career Moment: \\u201cThe one that really changed me is when I had a road accident that literally killed me. I\\u2019m not quite sure if people around me thought I would survive. I spent several months in a hospital wired-up. That was in the peak of my youth. My face was all battered.\\u201d \\u2013 Govi Rao

\\xa0

Aha! Moment: \\u201cI saw the impact my parents, grandparents, and people around me have made through people in the ecosystem, and my aha moment is that we can \\u2013 as individuals \\u2013 make an impact. I\\u2019m lucky to be surrounded by people who made amazing impact.\\u201d \\u2013 Govi Rao

WTF or F: \\u201cI lived through a flood growing up in India where pretty much lots of the city got washed away. We survived; however, there was tremendous damage, and this happens more frequently especially for me. I\\u2019ve also been through a couple of earthquakes.\\u201d \\u2013 Govi Rao

\\xa0

Parting Advice: \\u201cMake the change today. Take it on to make the change today. Don\\u2019t wait. There\\u2019s many ways each one of us can contribute. It doesn\\u2019t matter if you\\u2019re a middle school student or a high school student or a senior in college or a professional. Each one of us bears responsibility and I think we can all contribute to change. It\\u2019s an amazing life. It\\u2019s a gift. Let\\u2019s make the change happen.\\u201d \\u2013 Govi Rao
