"Having multiple competing suppliers generates real electricity price competition, as well as competition over quality, reliability and satisfaction of other customer preferences like environmental protection."
Upon completion of the project, Kinder Morgan’s Harvey, Louisiana facility will serve as the primary hub where Neste will store a variety of raw materials including, for example, the used cooking oil it collects from more than 40,000 restaurants across the U.S."
Lisa Stiffler of GeekWire writes on how the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is stoking the startup pipeline with ready to go innovations. “With a $1.1 billion budget for R&D, the government-supported facility has been generating scientific breakthroughs that are available to the public to license and commercialize for the past 55 years. In the last...
“'Turquoise' hydrogen presents an interesting opportunity because it introduces a carbon-to-value proposition that can improve the commercial viability of the technology. In particular, the solid carbon that is recovered during hydrogen production via pyrolysis can be used in existing applications that involve carbon black, graphite, carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and other derivatives. Moreover, it can be applied in various applications, ranging from new advanced carbon materials to soil amendments, across different economic sectors, such as construction, transportation, and agriculture."
"Chevron said the investments will help the company meet goals for its new energy businesses, including expanding production capacity for renewable natural gas and renewable fuels. It also plans to ramp up hydrogen production for use by industrial, power and heavy duty transport customers, as well as increase efforts on carbon capture and offsets."
"American Airlines plans to reduce its emissions in-large by using low-carbon fuel―namely SAF―in increasing volumes over time. The airline has been taking delivery of SAF from Neste for more than a year and has committed to using 9 million gallons in total through 2023. Additionally, American has agreed to terms to purchase up to 10 million gallons of carbon neutral SAF produced by Prometheus Fuels."
"Talen Energy Corp. has entered into a joint venture with bitcoin-mining company TeraWulf Inc., which has started land development for a mining facility the size of four football fields next to its Pennsylvania nuclear plant. Nuclear generator Energy Harbor Corp. will provide power to a Standard Power mining center in Ohio starting in December."
The Wall Street Journal‘s Editorial Board writes on Biden’s energy price shock. “Europe’s climate follies have created fuel shortages and price spikes that are rippling through global energy markets. Demand for liquefied natural gas in Europe has soared due to waning wind production, the shutdown of coal and nuclear plants, and lower Russian gas deliveries....
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, approximately 80 percent of all flowering plants on Earth need help with pollination. Pollinators provide the pollination needs to more than 1,400 crops around the world! The diverse pollinator population in the United States alone has a value of $10 billion annually for their pollination efforts on agricultural crops. Globally, pollination services are estimated to be worth more than $3 trillion.
