"The tool, whose interface resembles maps tracking other environmental problems, from wildfires to carbon dioxide emissions, provides for the possibility of partnerships with governments that are contributing a significant amount of land-based plastic waste."
Just as the original space race was a muscular assertion of the supremacy of American enterprise and industry, this new space resource scramble is motivated by the need to reduce reliance on our totalitarian adversaries. We were first to the moon to show the world that socialism is not the way. Now, we could be first to mine the stars, to put cleaner cars on our roads.
"'The end product is inert salts and PFAS-free water,' Dindal says, summing up the results of a recent pilot demonstration project at a wastewater treatment facility in Michigan. There, a mobile Annihilator was used to 'safely and completely destroy' PFAS in contaminated water at a plant operated by Heritage-Crystal Clean."
"Modern Electron is building a pilot plant at the biodigester facility that will use a technology called methane pyrolysis to cleave the hydrogen from the carbon. It should be up and running by early 2023, said CEO Tony Pan."
"The venture will help PepsiCo meet its targets to cut carbon emissions by more than 40% by 2030 (against a 2015 baseline) and achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, 'but also helps us give back to the local communities where we operate,' says Wim Destoop, vice president and general manager of PepsiCo Northwest Europe."
"Simply put, the idea is to absorb carbon dioxide emissions that have already accumulated in the atmosphere. Then, those emissions would be locked away in some kind of permanent storage, generally in underground geologic formations, so they don't escape to create more warming down the road. But despite carbon dioxide's power to heat the planet, it's very diffuse, making up less than 1% of the atmosphere. That makes it tricky to capture from the air in large quantities."
"HyPoint's technology is extremely lightweight compared with traditional fuel cells and it could allow airliners to fly up to four times farther than traditional passenger aircraft."
For most people, the word sustainability brings to mind images of tree planting and reusable water bottles. Occasionally the concerned homeowner will read articles about conserving energy at home, but they may not realize just how large an impact one common suggestion can have on the environment—how one adjusts their thermostat. But even that can...
"Once the AI model came up with lower-carbon recipes for concrete, the researchers tasked a concrete supplier with whipping up the new batches. And since the new formulas had performed well in testing, Meta used them in construction on its data center in DeKalb, Illinois—specifically a guard tower and an office building for the construction crew."
"The fact remains that harnessing the power of nature to fight climate change is one of the greatest tools we have at our disposal. If implemented properly, natural climate solutions could account for more than one-third of the emissions reductions we need by 2030."
