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."

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."

GM’s Electric Cadillac Lyriq Arrives Spring 2022 With +300-Mile Range, $60,000 Starting Price

"So what exactly do you get for $60,000? In short, a surprisingly sleek looking five-seat crossover with an expected range of more than 300 miles. If that range seems a bit low compared to the 360 miles of a Model X, it should be noted that GM is usually conservative on these estimates and the Bolt can easily outperform its 259-mile rating. Conversely, Tesla’s tend to fall short of their official ratings."

ExxonMobil’s Plan to Capture Carbon

"One of the proven technologies available that could play a major role is carbon capture and storage, or CCS, the process of sequestering industrial emissions and safely storing them permanently underground. CCS also promises the potential to reduce carbon emissions significantly at a cost competitive to other solutions, especially for the manufacturing sector."

Smart Policy And Innovative Technologies, Like Advanced Recycling, Will Deliver On Climate And Sustainability Goals

Unlike traditional recycling, advanced recycling can handle contamination, impurities, mixed polymers, and low-quality, low-density plastics. By producing virgin-grade plastic feedstock, the process also avoids 'downcycling,' which decreases material quality over time. Conceptually, advanced recycling can be an infinite recycling process.

Why lithium-ion batteries are so important

David Roberts outlines the importance of lithium-ion batteries on Canary Media. “Cheap batteries could open up uses we haven’t even envisioned yet. What sorts of urban mobility vehicles, drones, planes or research outposts could we power? What kinds of ships or trains could we electrify? How could increasingly cheap, ubiquitous storage be coupled with increasingly...
