Battelle, a global research and development organization, has been conducting comprehensive PFAS research for many years and has pioneered numerous assessment and mitigation solutions, including a new PFAS Annihilator destruction technology that will permanently remove PFAS from a site."
How New Wind Turbines Produce Far More Energy
"A key improvement has been modern blades that are far more sophisticated in design, from aerodynamic properties to materials. This has enabled a variety of other improvements to the turbine, including greater size and more height (which means the turbine can tap higher wind speeds), with less noise."
Renewables grew at the fastest rate in two decades last year, IEA says
"The agency's latest data shows that new capacity additions surged to almost 280 gigawatts last year despite the pandemic."
Honda Leads Full-Line Automakers in Fuel Efficiency and Lowest CO2 Emissions According to U.S. EPA Trends Report
"In an effort to reduce CO2 emissions, globally, Honda intends for two-thirds of its automobile sales to be electrified by 2030 and is making substantial investments for the production of electrified vehicles in America, including the recently-refreshed Accord Hybrid, CR-V Hybrid, Insight and the Acura NSX hybrid supercar."
Nuclear energy is the key to our energy transition
"The clean energy transition is here, and it can’t be done without nuclear. As the largest source of carbon-free, reliable power, we are committed to building on the skills and infrastructure of the past and leading the nation toward a revitalized grid and carbon-free energy future."
Hot and bothered about geothermal energy
"Investors and entrepreneurs are waking up to the potential of geothermal energy, an overlooked and undercapitalized clean energy source. New geothermal technologies could enable the earth's heat to provide as much as 16 percent of U.S. electricity by 2050, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's 2019 study GeoVision: Harnessing the Heat Beneath Our Feet."
Using Weather Data Helps Businesses Address Challenges Of Climate Change
"Weather data can improve supply chain efficiencies while reducing emissions and fuel usage. For example, historically, routing decisions in the aviation sector have been made using worst-case weather scenarios which are more operationally restrictive. Advanced forecasting capabilities offer more accurate, detailed, and specific data for flight management."
Nuclear Reactors Could Provide Plentiful Zero-Carbon Hydrogen, If Only We Let Them
"If the world is serious about developing a massive clean hydrogen economy, hydrogen from nuclear power has to be given serious consideration. It is the only low-carbon option that is deployable at large scale, and that operates with a high capacity factor."
New satellites can mitigate methane’s outsize impact on climate change
"MethaneSat will be able to capture leaks as low as 5 kilograms per hour per square kilometer — and 'if there’s an oil and gas producing area that’s leaking less than that, you’re doing really, really well' in preventing typical emissions, he said."
For FarmWise’s Cofounders, Opportunity Was In The Weeds
"Rented at a per-acre cost, the geo-fenced robots drive along planted rows, capturing images of crops that get uploaded and run through a model trained to classify each image. Weeds get the chop. Vegetables remain. The more time a robot spends at a given farm, the better the AI gets, and so does the weeding. To date, FarmWise’s robots have imaged about 200 million individual crops and partnered with about a dozen of the largest vegetable farms in the U.S."
