"Another important aspect is of course price, and Theion is promising amazing reductions here too. 'Our price target is €30 per kilowatt hour in comparison to €90 per kilowatt hour today,' says Ehmes. This is because the materials Theion uses are cheaper, and so is the energy consumption. 'Production energy is 90% less.' With batteries making up around a third of current EV costs, this reduction would easily push total car prices well below that of internal combustion vehicles."
"But earmarks remain controversial, particularly for programs such as FEMA mitigation grants that are highly competitive, have strict eligibility criteria and are central to addressing climate change. FEMA’s grants are separate from its emergency aid that helps communities recover immediately after major disasters."
"Nuclear power generation can be dialled up to cover gaps in supply from renewable sources, a job that coal and gas generators are often called upon to do now. Another low-carbon way to do this is to build batteries big enough to store the electricity generated by green sources."
"The joint venture will use drones to make a high-resolution magnetic survey of the area and plans to drill a total of 3,000 metres this year to depths of between 150 and 400 metres where the metals are located."
"The coming weeks and months provide a unique opportunity to support high-quality American jobs and lay the groundwork for American energy dominance. The energy maps of the future are being redrawn as we speak."
Lisa Stiffler of GeekWire reports on an innovative nuclear fusion company. “The system that Avalanche Energy is developing would measure about the size of a large shoe box (one-foot diameter, two-feet long). It could be deployed as multiple units to power cargo ships, airplanes and other sectors of the economy that are going to be...
"Beewise currently offers the product to farmers for a $400 monthly RaaS fee (plus an initial $2,000 delivery/setup fee). That includes 24 colonies and ongoing maintenance. In return, the technology promises benefits like improved bee yields and pollination of surrounding plants — as well as, hopefully, a net benefit to embattled bee populations."
"The Boston Red Sox on Wednesday are expected to announce that games at Fenway Park will be carbon neutral, a first for Major League Baseball, Axios has learned."
"The higher prices could slow the push for renewables in the near term, especially as the world turns its attention to more immediate priorities, like the war and the risks it poses to food and fuel supplies."
"America’s roughly 2 million cooling towers remove heat from HVAC systems and industrial processes by bringing hot water into contact with a stream of air. Noya Inc., a San Francisco startup founded in 2020, has developed a system that captures carbon dioxide from those air currents. The gas can then be pressurized so it can be moved elsewhere to be stored underground or sold."
