"The power station is a joint venture between Sembcorp and 8 Rivers Capital, which invented the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle. The process, which has so far only been demonstrated at Net Power’s test facility in La Porte, Texas, burns 4% natural gas and 4% oxygen in a combustor alongside CO2. The combustion process results in 925ºC, 300bar CO2, which is fed through a turboexpander to generate power."
"According to the International Energy Agency, coal is responsible for most global CO2 emissions. With this information, Beauchamp gives the framework on how sour gas can quickly help decarbonization targets. 'Across the world, 40% of the world's reserves are sour; 20% are so sour that prior to TarT, they were technically and economically irrecoverable,' said Beauchamp. “These reserves could not be processed with conventional technology."
"What Sound Agriculture did, Bayer explains, was develop a solution made up of pieces of the tomato’s own DNA that, when a plant is alive, helps to guide particular genes to turn themselves on or off. In this case, they selected bits of the plant DNA that regulated the cell walls of the tomato. The company soaked the tomato seeds in this solution as they started to germinate, locking in the gene expression pathway."
"Cummins is folding its existing clean power products unit into Accelera after pouring $900 million into R&D and acquisitions, including the recent purchase of truck parts maker Meritor, to build up the business. Cummins CEO and president Jennifer Rumsey wants rapid growth for the unit driven by demand for non-polluting trucks—and generous new federal incentives for low- and no-carbon hydrogen production."
Heirloom Carbon operates America’s only operational Direct Air Capture facility and is unleashing the world’s first carbon-trapping concrete
"The Rochester lab found that 'reddmatter' could exist at 69 degrees Fahrenheit and 145,000 pounds per square inch, or psi, of pressure—about 1/360th of the pressure in Earth’s core. That is about a 10-degree Fahrenheit increase in temperature and a drop to about 1/1000th of pressure compared with its predecessor from 2020."
"Aside from installing solar arrays onto its facility, Block-Lite produces masonry products the traditional way today, emitting a ton of carbon dioxide via the curing process. Through the award, however, Block-Lite told TechCrunch that it will eventually start selling 'ultra-low carbon blocks to customers in Flagstaff and surrounding areas.'"
"However, because nuclear energy is generated without releasing carbon dioxide emissions, which cause global warming, the increased sense of urgency in responding to climate change has given nuclear energy a chance at a renaissance."
Enginuity’s work is yet another testament to the innovation of the private sector in solving our greatest energy and environmental challenges.
"Thousands of startups are working on new solutions. More than $70 billion in venture capital went to climate tech companies in 2022, a record total. Many workers are leaving traditional tech jobs to work on climate instead."
