The Race to Develop the Next Generation of Aviation Fuel
As one of the most popular and safest forms of global transportation, aviation is essential to powering modern life. Air travel helps move goods around the world and empowers people to explore the world. With respect to other forms of transportation, aviation has a relatively small contribution to the world’s climate footprint —accounting for around...

Ebb Carbon wants to pull CO2 from the sky with electricity and seawater
"The technology builds on years of research led by Matt Eisaman, the company’s CTO and co-founder, who recently joined Yale University’s Center for Natural Carbon Capture as a faculty member. Eisaman first met Tarbell, a former SolarCity executive, several years ago when both were working with Alphabet’s innovation arm, X."

Hydrogen Production, SMRs Touted for Virginia Data Center Hub
"The companies said they plan to use the thermal energy generated by the SMRs to support the electrolysis of water into clean hydrogen, which could be used to fuel backup generators that would support the site. Hydrogen, which can be burned in engines that also run on natural gas, is being tested as an alternative to diesel fuel in backup generators. The fuel also could support other projects in Virginia using hydrogen fuel."

What Sparks US Wildfires: Power Lines, Burning Trash and Lightning
"Across the nation, wildfires are growing in intensity and frequency as climate change sparks prolonged droughts. The initial cause can vary — a spark from downed electric lines, a lightning strike or a cigarette butt tossed out a car window — but the result is the same: Once vegetation dries out, it can easily ignite."

Shopify, startup Running Tide tout ocean carbon removal breakthrough
"By sinking the biomass buoys into the ocean, Running Tide and Shopify claim that they have stored the CO2 embodied in the materials for thousands of years — instead of letting it decompose or be burned on land, where it would wind up in the atmosphere more quickly. According to Running Tide, the formula used to calculate the total amount of sequestered carbon reflects the weight of the sunk wood and the amount of limestone dissolved (observed via cameras), which removes carbon and also combats ocean acidification."
