"Startup Lithos Carbon, however, is focusing on the land, and a natural tool: basalt, a black igneous rock that’s common on volcanically active islands like Hawaii and Iceland. Lithos recycles existing basalt dust—a quarrying by-product—and spreads it over crop land. When rainwater mixes with the basalt dust, it triggers a chemical reaction that captures and locks up CO2 as bicarbonate."
"After six days of catalysis in the laboratory, a piece of a wind turbine blade was dissolved into intact glass fibers and bisphenol A, which can be used in the production of new blades – in addition to a fraction of various oligomers, which cannot be recycled. The metal piece was cast into the wing as part of the wind turbine’s lightning protection."
"Investing in regenerative agricultural solutions shouldn’t be viewed as politically divisive or at odds with economic returns. It can benefit us all. We need strategic investments to accelerate this momentum. We need to invest in farmers and ranchers to unleash powerful, unique climate solutions that our planet and food systems need."
"She added that since launching, Mycocycle has treated 12,000 pounds of material via paid pilots, as well as with building owners and contractors like META and Lendlease who are focused on reduction of Scope 3 emissions and innovations within their industries."
With support for this reliable, zero-carbon energy source growing, policymakers around the world must find ways to reduce barriers and deploy more nuclear power. Doing so will benefit the planet and its people.
"He would not find himself wondering for too long. Already in search of a retirement hobby, the timing felt right to explore what he referred to as 'a calling' to search for lost apple varieties. After connecting with a small community of rare orchard growers and diving into extensive research, Brown began to track down forgotten fruit trees and share their produce again with the world."
"The GLCH’s application details a $2 billion plan to create a hydrogen hub to provide Ohio, Michigan, and portions of Pennsylvania and Indiana with clean hydrogen from nuclear power at a competitive cost. According to the announcement, the GLCH plan has a well-defined scope, is commercially feasible, and will utilize proven production technologies to minimize the time required to achieve full production of 100-plus metric tons of hydrogen per day."
"If the purpose of ERISA is to protect retirement savings, both sides of the aisle should focus on the duties of loyalty and prudence owed to beneficiaries and plan participants, and less on an Administration’s policy agenda. Ironically, this is what ERISA was originally intended to protect against."
Jae-Fu Kim of The Korea Economic Daily reports that NuScale is in talks to build a small modular reactor (SMR) plant in South Korea. “The NuScale Power Module is built based on pressurized water-cooled reactor technology and can supply power for electrical generation, district heating, desalination, commercial hydrogen production and other process heat applications, according...
Alaina Mencinger and Dan McKay of the Albuquerque Journal report on a spent nuclear fuel storage facility in New Mexico. “The license would allow the Florida-headquartered company to receive, possess, transfer and store 500 canisters of spent nuclear fuel — a total of 8,680 metric tons of spent fuel — for 40 years. Holtec plans...
