Bitcoin miners look toward nuclear power for sustainable energy
"Last month, the Bitcoin Mining Council surveyed around 33% of the current global Bitcoin network. BMC estimated that the global mining industry’s sustainable electricity mix grew about 3% to 55.9% during the third quarter of this year."
Why Hydrogen Will Likely Be The Gateway To Net-Zero
"The market for hydrogen technology is global. Plug Power is expected to join with Fortescue Future Industries to build a giga-factory in Queensland, Australia, to produce electrolyzers. Meantime, Plug Power is likely to work with Egypt’s OCI NV and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to make green hydrogen with its electrolyzer."
Leveraging the power and pace of climate innovation
"Innovation doesn’t have to be about new technology. Breakthroughs are essential, but there’s also huge potential in deploying and scaling up existing technologies through business model innovation and digitization."
Utilities tap water ‘microgrid’ tech for new supply
"Perhaps the most ambitious endeavor comes from the Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Ecomerit Technologies. Its plan calls for deploying 'SeaWell Buoys' that will desalinate water at sea, then pipe it to water stations built along the coast. The stations are about the size of lighthouses, and from there, the water would be added to a local utility’s water supply."
Power industry teams up on highway EV charging
The National Electric Highway Coalition, which is headed by the Edison Electric Institute, brings together more than 50 power companies to make charging stations more available along our nation's highways.
Toyota to Build $1.29 Billion Battery Plant in North Carolina
"Initially the North Carolina plant will produce batteries for hybrid electric vehicles, but Toyota says eventually it will make materials for battery electric vehicles at the location. Currently electric vehicles make up about a quarter of Toyota’s sales, but the company says that will increase to 70% by 2030."
Finally, a Fusion Reaction Has Generated More Energy Than Absorbed by The Fuel
"Although there's still some way to go, the result represents a significant improvement on previous yields: eight times greater than experiments conducted just a few months prior, and 25 times greater than experiments conducted in 2018. It's a huge achievement."
