"As of June, about half of ships on order — measured by gross tonnage — will be able to run on alternative fuels including LNG, according to ship-classification society DNV. Maersk is one of several shipping companies that have ordered methanol-capable vessels."

"The team used heteroatom doping, a process in which foreign atoms, known as heteroatoms, are intentionally introduced into a material’s structure to modify its properties. In the context of battery materials, this typically involves replacing some atoms in a material (like carbon) with different atoms (such as nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus)."

"Groundbreaking marks an essential phase of the much-watched program. The program launched in 2016 in response to a Defense Science Board study, which evaluated the DOD’s need for a mobile, reliable, and resilient power source that minimizes logistical demands. The study recognized that battlefield energy needs would dramatically increase with the rise of energy-intensive military systems. It identified nuclear power—which offers two million times the energy density of diesel—as an ideal solution."

"In tests at its 250-ton-per-year pilot plant, Sublime has been able to demonstrate a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional concrete, according to Leah Ellis, co-founder and chief executive officer. The company is developing a commercial plant in Holyoke, Massachusetts, that would have a capacity of 30,000 tons per year and is set to be completed in 2026. Ellis said Sublime’s goal is to provide its technology to larger cement companies with existing infrastructure and supply chains, which would either build new cement plants with the tech or retrofit old ones."

"Twelve’s first plant, located in Moses Lake, Wash., will make about 50,000 gallons annually when it starts operating next year. Production of the new fuel won’t make a dent in the 100 billion gallon a year jet-fuel market for at least another decade, but capacity is growing across the industry."

"The announcement comes as LEGO Group works to achieve a series of sustainability commitments, including its goal to make its products from more sustainable materials, or those produced using renewable or recycled resources and generating little or no waste, by 2032, as well as its targets to reach net zero emissions across the value chain by 2050 and to reduce carbon emissions by 37% by 2032, on a 2019 basis."
