"Biochar is typically made through a process called pyrolysis where organic material is heated to a high temperature in a low-oxygen environment, creating a high-carbon material. Biochar was used historically to enrich soil, making it more fertile for crops."
TerraPower Isotopes: Nuclear Innovation to Advance New Cancer Treatments
"TerraPower Isotopes aims to bring a scalable solution to the precision medicine market. The proven production methods that TPI employs, along with the vital work of public and private partners, will establish a reliable supply of Actinium-225, and the delivery of this key isotopic starting material to drug developers. This enhanced Actinium-225 supply chain will enable the advancement of drug development trials and increase the research and deployment of advanced cancer treatment options."
Deep Sea Extraction Can Provide the Rare Earth Minerals We Need
Deep sea mining can provide crucial substances that are needed for a modern, green economy.
Here’s video proof that solar panels can be recycled
"With that funding, Solarcycle expects to expand its capacity to recycle 1 million solar panels annually by the close of this year. A 'vertically integrated, advanced recycling factory' will follow in 2024, expanding capacity to 'millions of panels.'"
Inside the plans for the UK’s ‘first net-zero power plant’
"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."
The role of sour gas and hydrogen sulfide in decarbonization
"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."
This Startup Says It Can Breed A Better Tomato On Demand
"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."
Diesel Giant Cummins Has A $13 Billion Cleantech Goal—Starting With A New Name
"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."
Turning Carbon into Concrete: How one Company is Cleaning up the Cement Industry
Heirloom Carbon operates America’s only operational Direct Air Capture facility and is unleashing the world’s first carbon-trapping concrete
The Scientific Breakthrough That Could Make Batteries Last Longer
"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."
