"While utilities rushed to meet state renewable energy mandates—one reason California’s electric rates are double those in neighboring states—tree-trimming and burying power lines were a low priority. Some of the state’s most destructive wildfires were caused by utility power lines and equipment."
"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."
"CCS technology has been used for years, often to enhance oil well production rates, but rising carbon prices in regions such as Europe have lifted hopes it might take off as a stand-alone business in the future."
Kenneth Schrupp outlines why California should invest in forest management in The Orange County Register. “If California is serious about improving the environment, the state’s top priority ought to be preventing mass wildfires that make breathing worse than smoking cigarettes and cause asthma in children — not magic trains that won’t be completed before the...
"PERMIAN FIRSTExxon is starting with 700 sites in the U.S. Permian basin to end routine flaring globally by 2030. It installed acoustic sensors, optical gas imaging cameras, additional pipelines and is expanding technology to quickly shut down operations remotely if needed."
By promoting an innovation-led, “all of the above” strategy, Congress can continue to unleash ways for America’s energy sector to meet families’ needs while charting a path forward on environmental progress.
"The Rochester lab found that 'reddmatter' could exist at 69 degrees Fahrenheit and 145,000 pounds per square inch, or psi, of pressure—about 1/360th of the pressure in Earth’s core. That is about a 10-degree Fahrenheit increase in temperature and a drop to about 1/1000th of pressure compared with its predecessor from 2020."
"Secondarily, we should not be closing doors on alternative energy storage solutions. Lithium batteries are a major part of moving sustainable energy forward, but they are not the only way to get there. Investors and policymakers should look seriously at new players and emerging technologies, and do as much as possible to foster new talent and startups in this area."
BusinessWire reports that Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation, Hyundai Engineering, and SK ecoplant have agree to develop clean hydrogen with micro nuclear power. “The ‘Hydrogen Micro Hub’ is a facility that produces hydrogen by applying a high-temperature electrolysis process of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) to the electricity and high-temperature steam generated by USNC’s Micro-Modular™ Reactor...
"Rather than wait on government funds, they’ve created a unique bond that pools money from private investors, public agencies, utilities and companies to pump millions of dollars into wildfire projects up-front — and finish the job years in advance."
