"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."
Battelle, Climeworks, Heirloom Carbon Team Up to Advance Direct Air Capture
If selected, the grant will go to Battelle’s Project Cypress DAC Hub in southwestern Louisiana, which aims to permanently capture 1 million tons of carbon dioxide per year by 2030.
Former oilfield engineers launch climate startup that uses ancient carbon-trapping technology
"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."
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."
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
