Matthew Hutson writes in The New Yorker on new innovations in carbon-free steel. “Fortunately, we’ve since learned that there’s more than one way to purify iron. Instead of using carbon to remove the oxygen from ore, creating CO2, we can use hydrogen, creating H2O—that is, water. Many companies are working on this approach; this summer,...

"For real, lasting, powerful solutions to pollution problems, we need to rely on a different tool. We need to tap into what Julian Simon called 'the ultimate resource': the human mind. In particular, we should look to the innovators who are fired up about finding creative solutions to such problems, people such as Fionn Fereira."

"The premium Lucid cars, priced at $169,000 and $139,000, respectively, achieve high power and long range as a result of efficient battery packs, compact motors and lightweight components that Peter Rawlinson, the company’s CEO and CTO, says are the industry’s most advanced."

"Steam Infusion technology is unique in that it reduces carbon emissions directly at the site of manufacturing, which can support businesses' plans to incrementally cut emissions throughout their facilities, while the technology enables alignment to UN Sustainable Development Goals."

Chris Young of Interesting Engineering writes that we are now one step closer to limitless energy from nuclear fusion. “During the test, the magnet reached 20 tesla, a unit of measurement named after pioneering engineer Nikola Tesla, and used to denote the strength of a magnet. As a point of reference, a superconducting magnet in...

"Quidnet is refining its business plan and talking with utilities, energy traders, and others about commercializing its technology. Last year, it raised $20 million from investors, including the Geneva-based global commodity trading firm Trafigura, which is expanding into trading megawatts alongside oil barrels."

"The Climeworks plant is composed of eight so-called air collection containers, which are stacked two high and arranged like a bracket around a central processing building. The containers have fans on one side, intake vents on the other and carbon-capturing filters in between. They are connected to the building by a series of steel pipes."
