"Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is critical to achieving climate goals, alongside radical emissions reductions. Models project that by 2050 we will need to permanently remove billions of tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere every year. To date, fewer than 10,000 tons have been removed in total."
"The global surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries to power electric cars and trucks is stressing the supply chain for internationally sourced commodity minerals like lithium, nickel and cobalt, all of which are trading at or near record-high levels. Currently, lithium costs nearly $75,000 a ton, according to Trading Economics, while nickel runs about $22,000 per ton. Redwood believes large-scale battery recycling infrastructure is the best way to manage tight supplies."
"The company has developed a novel approach to clothing and accessory manufacturing that removes traditional spinning, weaving, cutting, and sewing and replaces it with a sustainable, less resource-intensive process, and fully biodegradable solution – cutting out 60% of the steps and reducing the 35% of materials in the fashion supply chain that ends up as waste."
"Done right (and it seems likely that’s the way they’re trying to do it) a ship doing this can handle some of the longest and most popular routes across the Pacific."
"In a recent blind study conducted by National Food Labs, Atomo’s cold brew outranked competitive conventional cold brew products on preference 2:1. Panelists were unable to recognize that Atomo was made without coffee beans, said Ed Hoehn, head of growth at the Seattle-based startup."
Ultimately, there is a risk that climate policies will do to Europe what Marxism did to Latin America. A continent with all the conditions for widespread prosperity and a healthy environment will impoverish and ruin itself for ideological reasons. In the end, both the people and the climate will be worse off.
"The big lesson from this year’s energy crisis is that Europe’s vulnerabilities were a choice, not an inevitability. Rather than learning from that mistake, German politicians have chosen to repeat it."
"West Virginia vs. EPA should signal a time for Congress to reassert its authority and provide the policy foundation for innovators to meet our energy needs and mitigate the risk of global climate change."
Cyrus Farivar and Alex Knapp of Forbes write about a tech platform that is looking to prevent damage from extreme weather events. “His company has been gathering data and using it to train machine learning models to better assess risks caused by climate change, like wildfires, on behalf of its clients, mostly insurance companies.” Read...
"Aside from aiming to demonstrate the net production of 300 to 500 hundred megawatts of electricity, DEMO will also demonstrate new innovations such as remote maintenance and tritium breeding. Tritium breeding will allow operators to produce tritium fusion fuel on-site and will be a crucial component for commercial fusion operations in the future."
