"For the past decade, the German-based company has been developing its Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology that chemically binds green hydrogen at high storage densities under ambient conditions to enable transport and storage using the infrastructure for conventional fuels."
The Two Billionaires Reimagining Nuclear Energy
"Bill Gates’ nuclear venture is called TerraPower, and it has (rather symbolically) picked a remote coal town in western Wyoming as the site of its first innovative nuclear power plant. The plant will be cooled with liquid sodium instead of water, making it safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective than a traditional nuclear plant. They also have the potential to recycle their own spent fuel within these ‘molten salt’ cooling systems, thereby mitigating the total output of radioactive waste which represents one of nuclear critics’ strongest sticking points."
NASA Wants to Power Moon Missions With Nuclear Power Within 10 Years
"The U.S. space agency also pointed out that work on the lunar nuclear fission reactor will also help advance work into nuclear-powered rockets, such as a rocket being developed by a startup called Ad Astra, which, in theory, could reach speeds of up to 123,000 mph (~198,000 km/h) and travel to Mars in only a month."
Beam Suntory’s $1 Billion Mission Toward Sustainable and Socially-Conscious Spirits
Beam Suntory is a leader in the world of premium spirits. The company has set out the “objective of being the world’s most admired and fastest-growing premium spirits company, and a vision of Growing for Good...driving growth through quality craftsmanship, consumer connections, and entrepreneurial spirit.”
Changing up the recipe to make low-carbon cement
"Brimstone Energy is an early-stage startup that’s currently raising money to build a pilot production facility. It raised an initial $2 million starting in 2019 from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E), the National Science Foundation and a number of other sources."
CO2-free natural gas? CCS project powers grid for first time
Texas-based Net Power LLC has used carbon-free natural gas to deliver electricity to the grid for the first time ever.
With new tech and $3.6M seed, DiviGas aims to clean up hydrogen production
"While hydrogen itself is generally considered a clean and extremely useful basic element, its production is married to numerous dirty industrial processes. Oil refineries and plastic production, for instance, may give off various hydrocarbons and other mixed gases and chemicals, and to separate them requires further processing and emissions."
The discreet charm of nuclear power
"In the ten years to 1992 the amount of nuclear energy consumed worldwide had increased by 130%. What was more, some talked of using nuclear plants to produce not just electricity, but also hydrogen which could then form the basis of synthetic fuels."
Wyoming city to host Bill Gates-backed experimental nuclear power project
"If it’s as reliable as conventional nuclear power, the 345-megawatt plant would produce enough climate-friendly power to serve about 250,000 homes. The announcement came days after officials from the U.S. and other countries pledged at a global climate-change summit in Scotland to continue working to limit greenhouse gas emissions."
Group Forecasts Massive Increase in Energy Storage by 2030
"Global installations of energy storage systems will experience rapid growth this decade, resulting by the end of 2030 in gigawatt capacity more than 20 times larger than the amount online at the end of 2020."
