How a Canadian Small Reactor Will Support Industrial Decarbonization

"The ARC-100 is an advanced small modular reactor (aSMR) with a very simple design and small footprint, approximately 10 acres. It is a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) which uses liquid sodium as a coolant instead of water. This allows the coolant to operate at higher temperatures and lower pressures than current traditional reactors which improves the efficiency of the system.  Our technology is an advanced reactor and meets the goals for Generation IV nuclear technology: improved safety, sustainability, efficiency, and cost."

Mine waste finds new life as source of rare earths

"Australia's RMIT University estimates there are 16.2 million tonnes of unexploited rare earths in 325 mineral sands deposits worldwide, while the U.S. Idaho National Laboratory said 100,000 tonnes of rare earths each year end up in waste from producing phosphoric acid alone."

Type One Energy Raises $29M to Work on a Crazy Fusion Device

"Stellarator fusion devices rely on a pretzel-shaped torus of magnets to contain the plasma where fusion takes place. They have a design that’s strikingly different from, say, the giant tokamak that’s being built for the multibillion-dollar ITER experimental fusion reactor in France, or the laser-blasting device at the National Ignition Facility in California that recently hit an energy-producing milestone. Some have gone so far as to call stellarators the 'fusion reactor designed in hell.'"

Seattle-area county plans ‘world leading’ sustainable aviation fuel R&D center

"One of sustainable aviation fuel’s biggest selling points is the fuel can replace jet fuel in existing aircraft, making it a quicker way to cut carbon emissions from flights. Other clean aviation strategies such as electric- or hydrogen-powered aircraft are still being developed and approved by regulators, and the aircraft in the works are smaller planes — not transcontinental jets."

An alternative to copper that’s less carbon-intensive?

"Galvorn is made by splitting hydrocarbons, chiefly found in the combustion of petroleum and natural gas, according to the company’s marketing materials. The material acts as a form of carbon storage (sequestration, anyone?) and takes several forms, including a mesh that could be used in composite panels, electrodes and garments; a fiber for conductive wire, power lines and motor windings; and a film for electromagnetic shieldings, batteries and antennas."

New IPCC Report Should Inspire Hope, Not Panic

Elijah Gullett writes in RealClearEnergy about the latest UN climate change report. online pharmacy buy mobic online no prescription “The IPCC report will undoubtedly produce more doomsday headlines in the coming weeks, but rather than embrace despair, we should use the IPCC’s insights to prepare for climate challenges. We have all the tools we need...
