Scientist successfully grows coral reefs using a new system
"'We wanted it to be something we could mass produce at a reasonable price. And easy for a diver or a remotely-operated vehicle to deploy," said Foster. 'We've deployed several different prototypes of our coral skeletons. And we've also tested this on four different species.'"
It’s Time to Rescue Science from “The Science”
Our New Primer Tries to Capture What Actual Scientists, Not Activists, Are Saying About Climate Risk
Hunt Energy Network CEO: Here’s why I am optimistic about Texas’ energy future
"But I also believe we will always need some controllable fossil fuel-fired power plants in the mix, even if they run less often than they do today.

Israeli Trash-to-Bioplastic Startup UBQ Raises $70 Million
"The production process begins with sifting waste from local towns and a nearby army base to remove metals and minerals. The material is then ground into a powder and converted into bioplastic in a reactor using UBQ technology that doesn’t require water. The resulting thermoplastic is then shaped into pellets that can be blended with other materials and has production costs that the company says are comparable to making plastic."
Shipping giant Maersk unveils world’s first vessel using green methanol
"The new container ship, ordered in 2021, has two engines: one moved by traditional fuels and another run with green methanol — an alternative component, which uses biomass or captured carbon and hydrogen from renewable power.
