"Peng's invention can work in two different ways. In cooling mode, the hydrogel is exposed to the open air all the time. During the night, the material collects water molecules. As the sun heats up the solar panel the next day, the molecules evaporate, taking excess heat energy with them."

"The company was said to be investing approximately 80 billion yen (around $694 million) into production equipment. It started working on the battery following a request from Tesla, though it may sell the 4,680 to other automakers."

"The global water industry is massive and filled with opportunity for innovation, but it’s also sprawling, fragmented and buried under layers of government bureaucracy, industry expert Tom Ferguson says. While some estimates place the total value of water-based enterprises, including those meant to address climate change, at $500 billion worldwide, the market hasn’t advanced at the same pace as adjacent industries such as green energy."

"CCUS involves capturing carbon, processing it into a suitable form, and then either transporting it for re-use or transferring it to suitable underground storage or sequestration sites. These sites vary and different technologies use different types of geologic formations as storage sites."

"Lufthansa has also announced plans to roll out the AeroShark film on its entire cargo freight fleet of Boeing 777s as well. That’s 'just' 10 planes, but it’s enough to represent a savings of more than 3,700 tons of jet fuel and 11,700 tons of CO2 emissions, annually. What’s more, the AeroShark team believes those estimates are low, since the film might be slightly more effective on cargo planes that don’t have window openings to work around."

As the United States looks to meet growing energy demand it will need to increase transmission capacity and reliability. 

"The researchers say the composite for their method can be easily made using readily available sources of aluminum, including used foil and cans. While gallium is less abundant and is expensive, the scientists say it is easy to recover and reuse, which should help to make their method scalable for mass use as the world increasingly experiments with new modes of hydrogen transportation."

Alan Ohnsman of Forbes writes on Redwood Materials’ latest partnerships. “Redwood aims to become a leading supplier of recycled metals and materials and estimates it can already recover about 6-gigawatt-hours of used batteries, battery scrap and electronics annually, enough to supply battery packs for 60,000 EVs. Located near Tesla’s massive Gigafactory, where it collects scrap...

"Rondo has picked up high-profile backers. It said Tuesday it raised $22 million from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a climate-focused investment firm founded by Bill Gates, and Energy Impact Partners, another venture firm. Breakthrough Energy Ventures isn’t related to the Breakthrough Institute."
