"The disruptions have pummeled solar deployment in the U.S., where domestic manufacturers are few and imports, largely from Chinese and other Asian makers, account for more than 80% of all panels used. An estimated 23 gigawatts’ worth of big solar projects have been delayed so far this year—almost twice as much as was installed in all of 2021 and approaching a third of all such projects in development, according to the American Clean Power Association, an industry group."

"Shell and BP are both looking to use their global oil-and-gas trading arms to reach existing customers willing to pay a premium for cleaner fuel, and to tap new markets as they invest in expanding the biogas businesses. Neither deal changes the dividend or buyback plans of Shell and BP, the companies have said, in a year of huge cash payouts to investors."

"Shin said the factory is projected to produce 120,000 tons of cathode battery materials annually once fully operational, which is enough to power batteries in 1.2 million electric vehicles."

Syzygy Plasmonics has raised $76 million in Series C funding. “Rather than rely on thermal energy, Syzygy Plasmonics harnesses the power of light to energize chemical reactions. This approach is designed to reduce feedstock waste while producing fewer emissions when powered by renewable electricity. Select Series C participants have also entered into commercial agreements with...

"By drilling hundreds of feet into the ground, Dandelion taps a secure reservoir of heat in the winter, and in the summer, the pump removes heat from the house to cool it."

"The factory will also manufacture solar cells, the building blocks for solar panels and a component not currently produced in the U.S., after the last few manufacturers went out of business or were priced out of the market by cheaper imports in recent years."

"Nvirovate launched in May 2021 and recently landed $850,000 in angel investments from two clean-tech focused investors — VertueLab and E8 Angels —  as well as Diversified Chemical Technologies; Willamette University; Keeler Investments; Family Angel Management Fund; and an individual investor."

“'The cathode material is roughly 15% of the cost of an EV. It's a phenomenally impactful component that isn't very well understood. Overall, the battery supply chain accounts for maybe 20% to 25% of the cost of an EV,' Straubel said. 'This is a really meaningful and monetarily significant step toward launching this industry in the U.S.'”
