This new magnetic powder can capture microplastics in water

"Conventional filters used to clean up plastic can’t capture the smallest fragments, and even nano-sized filters designed specifically for the task work slowly, if at all. Clean-up approaches that accelerate the breakdown of plastic can release other pollution, and still don’t work quickly enough for wastewater treatment plants. This new technology can work within an hour, the researchers say. The plastic that’s captured can then be recycled."

Products Made With Captured Greenhouse Gas Are Reaching Commercial Scale

"The company took about a decade to develop a process using microbes that suck up methane or carbon dioxide to grow a biological material called polyhydroxybutyrate, which is used to make biodegradable resins that can replace plastic. The private company sources captured emissions from dairy farms, ethanol plants and landfills, and is expanding into coal mines and exploring direct-air capture."

One Man’s Trash Is Another’s Clean Fuel

"Some of the predictions in 'Back to the Future' proved too far-fetched. Flying cars seem as distant today as they were in the 1980s. But power from trash? Today trash represents a permanent carbon-negative source of natural gas. Voluntary transactions in RNG, and the micro-scale process improvements that have boosted this market, suggest a far more circular economy on the horizon."

Is Green Hydrogen The Fuel Of The Future? This CEO Is Betting On It

Alan Ohnsman of Forbes writes about Plug Power, which is ramping up green hydrogen production. “Amazon plans to purchase over 10,000 tons of it a year in a deal worth up to $2.1 billion and Plug Power will also provide Walmart with enough fuel for 9,500 warehouse fuel cell forklifts. The company is also preparing to sell...

Aeromine’s cutting edge motionless wind turbine needs no blade

"'Unlike any type of wind turbine, Aeromine has two separate flow streams. This is maybe the only similarity with a Dyson-style fan because the physics is very different. The external airfoils facing the wind produce a low-pressure potential. The low-pressure potential drives an internal flow stream from a separate inlet through an internal propeller that extracts energy and then ejects the residual fluid into the free stream.'"
