"Using a combustor and turbine supplied by Toshiba Corp., the test facility captures and recycles the CO2 produced by gas-fired combustion — instead of steam — to generate electricity. Remaining CO2 can either be stored underground in geological formations or used for other industrial processes."
Spiers New Technologies (SNT) is based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The company works in four areas, which they refer to as the 4Rs: repair, remanufacturing, refurbishing, and repurposing of EV batteries. And, as one of the leading companies in this space, they are leveraging economies of scale to quickly expand.
“'It takes 10 years of selection after that initial cross pollination, and it might take two to five years before enough commercial evaluation has taken place to release a new potato variety,' Porter said."
"Elon Musk was not mad when he announced funding for carbon removal technology. It’s a field that’s on the cusp of spreading worldwide, and one in desperate need of further research. If countries are unable to reduce their emissions, carbon capture might be our only hope for reducing the impact on the climate – the sooner it’s commercially viable, the better."
"For the past decade, the German-based company has been developing its Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology that chemically binds green hydrogen at high storage densities under ambient conditions to enable transport and storage using the infrastructure for conventional fuels."
"Bill Gates’ nuclear venture is called TerraPower, and it has (rather symbolically) picked a remote coal town in western Wyoming as the site of its first innovative nuclear power plant. The plant will be cooled with liquid sodium instead of water, making it safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective than a traditional nuclear plant. They also have the potential to recycle their own spent fuel within these ‘molten salt’ cooling systems, thereby mitigating the total output of radioactive waste which represents one of nuclear critics’ strongest sticking points."
"The U.S. space agency also pointed out that work on the lunar nuclear fission reactor will also help advance work into nuclear-powered rockets, such as a rocket being developed by a startup called Ad Astra, which, in theory, could reach speeds of up to 123,000 mph (~198,000 km/h) and travel to Mars in only a month."
"In the U.S., for instance, a 2020 study from the University of California, San Diego (shout out to my former employer!) found that closing hundreds of coal power plants and replacing them with natural gas ones has saved thousands of lives across the country."
Beam Suntory is a leader in the world of premium spirits. The company has set out the “objective of being the world’s most admired and fastest-growing premium spirits company, and a vision of Growing for Good...driving growth through quality craftsmanship, consumer connections, and entrepreneurial spirit.”
"The bottom line is: Given likely global carbon dioxide emissions trends from developing countries, 1.5°C is dead but 2.0°C is alive. Why? Largely because accelerating technological and market trends will fortuitously keep many of the COP 26 promises made by the politicians for them."
