"The latest to join the ranks is Magical Mushroom Company (MMC). It’s now raised a £3 million seed round led by Ecovative Design LLC with participation by Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity (a green energy company in the U.K.); Robert Del Naja (activist); and Marcus Watson, co-founder of Adoreum Partners, who brought 30 other investors."
"Maxim Timchenko, DTEK’s chief executive, said that once the statcoms or batteries are in place, exports can rise slowly to 1.6 gigawatts a day, up from current deliveries of about 350 megawatts a day to Poland and Moldova, and that they could rise further if more power lines to Europe are restored. 'Ukraine can become one of the major suppliers of clean energy to the European countries,' he said."
"This is a framework for new American energy leadership – for our nation and for America’s friends abroad – supporting investment and creating new resource access while avoiding unnecessarily restricted energy growth due to government policies and regulation. It’s time to lead."
"Looking further ahead, Airbus also announced zero-emissions hydrogen concept aircraft as it aims for a future of greatly reduced carbon emissions. Other companies, including Rolls-Royce, are also running SAF tests in a bid to help the aviation industry play its part in the face of catastrophic climate change."
"The future of nuclear power is exciting, hopeful, and integral for reaching the worldwide goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050."
"Mr. Biden’s options to ease prices in the coming months are limited, according to analysts and economists. U.S. refining capacity has declined to about 17.9 million barrels a day as of the beginning of 2022, down about 5.4% from the start of 2020, according to the Energy Information Administration."
"The more everyone gets excited about the many benefits of clean hydrogen, the faster businesses and governments will put in the work to make it a real alternative to fossil fuels. That’s how we avoid a climate disaster."
"The company estimates that it needs to produce 650 kA (kiloampere) of current to get there. At this point they’ve reached 500 kA, which represents significant progress. When the team got its start at the University of Washington, they were producing about 50 kA (a bolt of lightning, by comparison, is about 30 kA)."
"Sänger says the combination of technology and biology has multiple benefits. The main benefit is that unlike traditional air filters, mosses effectively digests fine dust particles, which remain in the moss filters for a long time. When mosses appear to be too stressed they are exchanged, and brought back to Green City Solutions form to regenerate, before being sent out again."
"Facilitating a strong, steady transformation of our energy system is both a generation-defining challenge and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We need every solution in our toolkit and every ally in our corner — and that includes the oil and gas industry."
