"CarbonBuilt spun out of UCLA’s engineering school in 2019. In May, the company began commercial production of its sustainable concrete at a partner facility in Alabama, where an on-site biomass furnace captures and supplies CO2. The company says it now plans to produce its Portland-cement-free blocks at ​'commercial volume' in Alabama starting in 2024."

"Based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the company’s team of engineers, scientists, UX designers, and insurance experts are developing the next generation of parametric insurance in Florida, California, New York and Washington State. Raincoat partners with insurers, reinsurers, and governments worldwide in developing and distributing these solutions."

"Traditional methods of tracking biodiversity include metabarcoding, a type of analysis that looks at short snippets of DNA to identify specific populations of species. The researchers found that bioacoustic monitoring led to similar findings as this more direct method but can be accomplished at a lower cost and with less intrusion on the environment."

"'Ultimately, our plan, our goal would be to develop a credibly lower-cost process to make Portland cement at scale. And, therefore, because it’s lower cost, eventually, our process will replace 100% of cement production facilities worldwide, leading to a fully decarbonized system,' Finke said."

"'The green ammonia that Talus’s systems produce is both reliable and locally produced, which reduces costs by addressing supply chain insecurity and challenges,' Matt Carstens, Landus’s CEO and president, said in a response to questions. Green ammonia is 'an exciting innovation to consider,' he said."

"The 800,000-square-foot arena has a maximum capacity of 18,100 attendees and is the home of Seattle’s Kraken NHL team and a concert venue. The facility replaced the KeyArena and opened in October 2021. Amazon paid for its naming rights."
