Jeff St. John of Canary Media reports on AtmosZero and its mission to clean up manufacturing. “Typical residential heat-pump systems deliver about 300 to 400 percent as much energy in the form of heat as the energy they use to transfer it. AtmosZero’s heat-pump boilers can practically deliver about 200 percent of the same energy input as heat, he said. But...
California Green Hydrogen Machine Maker Raises $73 Million
"Electrolyzers split hydrogen from water, yielding a fuel that can be produced and used without spewing greenhouse gases into the air. Although hydrogen is seen as a potential fuel for everything from city buses to data centers, most of it sold today goes to oil refineries and fertilizer plants, and it’s stripped from natural gas in a process that gives off carbon dioxide."
Carbon capture projects bring new opportunity for Texas energy
"The CCS opportunity in Texas is enormous, and we have the same kind of competitive advantage that Texans have grown used to in our energy sector. The only barriers are bureaucracy and bad policy."
With a unique alignment of interests, now is the time to address methane emissions
Jeff Kupfer writes in UtilityDive about the need to address methane emissions. “There is no doubt that methane emissions present a serious environmental threat. And given the significant role of natural gas in electricity generation for decades to come, it is reasonable for EPA to promulgate new regulations. With a bit more tailoring, there can...
It’s not all bad news: Wonderful and wild stories about tackling climate change
"More than 120,000 acres have just been set aside as a conservation area in Idaho. As Boise State Public Radio reports, the Bennett Hills conservation area covers more than 120,000 acres of rolling grasslands in southwest Idaho, home to upland game bird species and wintering elk and mule deer."

Mitsubishi Eyes Great Lakes for Offshore Wind Development
The Great Lakes are a geographically unique location for offshore wind. The region does not experience the extreme weather that is seen on the East Coast, and there are major cities all along the Lakes. Additionally, electricity grids, ports, and other infrastructure from retired coal plants still exist which could be useful for these wind projects.
Climate startup OCOchem, which recycles CO2 into fuels and chemicals, lands $5M
"The approach has two climate benefits, said CEO and co-founder Todd Brix. First, it uses CO2 that’s captured as an industrial waste from facilities such as biogas and bioenthanol producers or it’s pulled from the atmosphere using a direct air capture device. Second, it generates formic acid and other formate chemicals that can replace fossil fuels as a feedstock for fuels and other products."
