“'Turquoise' hydrogen presents an interesting opportunity because it introduces a carbon-to-value proposition that can improve the commercial viability of the technology. In particular, the solid carbon that is recovered during hydrogen production via pyrolysis can be used in existing applications that involve carbon black, graphite, carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and other derivatives. Moreover, it can be applied in various applications, ranging from new advanced carbon materials to soil amendments, across different economic sectors, such as construction, transportation, and agriculture."
Chevron CEO explains why the oil giant’s lower-carbon investments look past wind and solar energy
"Chevron said the investments will help the company meet goals for its new energy businesses, including expanding production capacity for renewable natural gas and renewable fuels. It also plans to ramp up hydrogen production for use by industrial, power and heavy duty transport customers, as well as increase efforts on carbon capture and offsets."
Meet Marrone Bio Innovations: Pioneer in Bio-Based Pest Solutions
Marrone Bio is focused on developing solutions that can meet the industry’s next-generation needs for both sustainability and efficiency. The company has proven that there is room for improvement in the pesticides market and that it is possible to develop plant solutions as renewable as they are reliable.
These carbon-capturing robotic seaweed farms are like planting forests in the ocean
"Seaweed along coastlines already captures an estimated 173 million metric tons of CO2 each year as it grows; some of that seaweed eventually sinks, trapping the carbon at the bottom of the ocean. Phykos wants to replicate the same process in the open ocean, where kelp doesn’t grow, to vastly increase seaweed’s global level of carbon sequestration."
Bacteria could help build eco-friendly construction materials
"Microbiologists from the University of Bath's Department of Biology & Biochemistry, and concrete experts from the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering have been awarded funding by the National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC), for a six-month pilot project that aims to optimize the properties of the prototype plasterboard using their bacteria-based construction technology (BBCT)."
Space Greenhouse Technology Could Grow Crops In Deserts, Boost Agriculture
"In yet another example of space technologies providing great benefit here on Earth, space services company Nanoracks says the solar greenhouses it originally designed for missions to the moon and Mars may soon be deployed in deserts here on Earth as well as in orbit around our planet."
Ford plans $11.4 billion investment to build EVs and batteries
"Ford Motor and partner SK Innovation said they plan to invest $11.4 billion at two sites in Kentucky and Tennessee to produce electric F-Series trucks and the batteries to power future electric vehicles."
Sierra Energy’s New Gasification System Turns Trash into Treasure
That is precisely what Sierra Energy, a Davis, CA-based company, has in mind. The startup, founded in 2004, is focused on developing clean energy solutions to waste management.
Salesforce reaches Net Zero energy usage, announces updates to Sustainability Cloud
"Salesforce has often preached about responsible capitalism, and today at Dreamforce, the company’s annual customer extravaganza, it announced a notable achievement in the battle against global climate change. The company said that it has achieved effective Net Zero energy usage across its entire value chain with 100% renewable energy, while purchasing carbon offsets when that’s not possible."
After Decades of Waiting, Nuclear Fusion is Moving into Full View
Ultimately, the future of nuclear fusion is bright, but only if we support the industry adequately. A clean, nuclear-powered future is entirely possible if we actively invest in R&D, remove burdensome red tape, and learn from past mistakes.
