"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."

The Clean Jet-Fuel Technology Winning Over Wall Street
"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."
LEGO Group Increases Renewable Content in Bricks by 83% in 2024
"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."
World’s biggest banks pledge support for nuclear power
"Nuclear energy has also started to gain support from Big Tech, which sees it as one low-carbon solution to powering data centres. On Friday, Microsoft announced a 20-year deal with Constellation Energy to restart an 835-megawatt nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania that was in the process of being decommissioned. Larry Ellison, co-founder and chief technology officer of Oracle, said this month that the company was designing a huge data centre with 'permits for three . . . small modular nuclear reactors'."
How Conservatives Can Drive America’s Clean Energy Future
Conservatives should offer solutions that protect economic freedom, and national sovereignty to advance human flourishing and reduce emissions.
Air Company raises $69M to convert CO2 into jet fuel
"Air Company makes its SAF using a proprietary system that involves capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and combining the CO2 with hydrogen to create paraffins — colorless, oily liquids that it says can be dropped into conventional jet engines. Companies such as Twelve and LanzaTech are also vying to repurpose CO2 into sustainable jet fuels."
Rolls-Royce wins pioneering deal to build mini nuclear plants in Czech Republic
"Rolls-Royce is on course to secure the first order from a European government to build a fleet of mini nuclear reactors after being selected as the preferred supplier in a competition overseen by the Czech government."
The U.S.-Canada Energy Relationship Is Underappreciated – And May Now Be Under Threat
"Together, Canada and the U.S. have dominated global oil and growth in the past decade, creating an energy secure North America while driving billions into innovation and technologies designed to lower emissions. Policy actions that limit production and export capacity could reverse this progress, leaving us and our allies more vulnerable. We must instead leverage our deeply interconnected energy systems and rock-solid commercial relationships in support of a North American Energy Security framework that will deliver benefits for decades to come. Our organizations and collective membership stand ready to be a fully committed partner in this effort."
White House raises tariffs on Chinese EVs, solar panels, batteries
"The White House enacted steep increases in tariffs Friday that could quadruple the price of electric vehicles from China and double fees on imported solar cells, upping the trade war between the U.S. and the Asian manufacturing giant."
Cleveland Browns Owner Backs New Initiative to Cut Heavy Industry Emissions
"HF Capital has also invested in several energy companies, including Royal Dutch Shell Plc-backed solar developer Silicon Ranch Corp. as well as Arizona DF Renewables, a renewable natural gas producer. Environmentalists have warned that renewable natural gas is still a greenhouse gas, one that is at least 84 times more potent than CO2 when it comes to warming the atmosphere over a 20-year period, though it also qualifies for California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard."
