Eco Wave generator

Swedish-Israeli wave energy developer Eco Wave Power has launched construction of what it says is the first megawatt-scale wave energy project, a 1MW generator in waters off the city of Porto, Portugal.

the Carbon Call, an initiative to make carbon accounting good enough to properly track and control emissions.

The Call is hosted by ClimateWorks Foundation, and members include the Linux Foundation alongside Microsoft. Other members include Capricorn Investment Group, Climate Change AI, Corporate Leaders Group Europe, Global Carbon Project, Global Council for Science and the Environment, International Science Council, LF Energy, Mila, Skoll Foundation, Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, United Nations Environment Programme (collaborating organization), and United Nations Foundation.

Lucas Joppa, chief environmental officer at Microsoft, said, “With so many organizations now committing to net zero, one key piece is still missing: a transparent and interoperable system to track, report, and compare GHG emissions and removals. The Carbon Call is a collaboration to enable reliability among the multiple, different GHG accounting ledgers — from the corporate to the national to the planetary. We encourage all organizations committed to net zero to join us.”

The main advantage of using ammonia fuel is that since it is a carbon-free molecule, burning it inside the internal combustion engine will not produce any carbon emissions.
Furthermore, ammonia can be manufactured using renewable energy sources such as biomass, solar, and wind, thus making it a carbon-neutral fuel. 

Opportunities 

Hydrogen energy from electrolysis

Hy Stor Energy is building a green hydrogen hub in Mississippi that will generate zero emission hydrogen energy while also creating a new industry with hundreds of jobs and economic growth for the area, according to the company.

Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen is a form of renewable energy that is produced by splitting a water molecule into its hydrogen and oxygen parts via electrolysis. When this process is powered using renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, it has zero carbon and zero methane emissions. Hydrogen energy can be stored for long periods of time and used during extreme weather events, when the power may be out for days at a time, and can also be transported over long distances.

Salt caverns to store hydrogen

“Salt cavern geology is only found in specific locations around the world, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast is one of them. Salt caverns provide that multi-day, multi-week energy storage that can be dispatched on demand.”

Hy Stor has four salt caverns fully permitted and ten under their control in total. One is in Louisiana, and the rest are in Mississippi.

Mississippi is a strategic geographic location for the company because of the state’s naturally occurring geology and its proximity to existing distribution channels, such as the Mississippi River, deep water ports, interstate highways, railways, and gas and electric transmission lines. Having access to ports is going to be crucial for the company as they grow, expand, and seek to transport energy internationally.

China's tree breeders are coming up with a business model to make money while doing right by the environment

Chinese scientists published an article in the internationally renowned journal Cell, uncovering the genetic code and the molecular mechanisms regulating the evolution of Pinus tabulaeformis, a coniferous tree native to China.

"With this breakthrough, trees can grow faster and stronger, and be less susceptible to pests and diseases," said Wang, general manager of the company with 350,000 mu (23,000 hectares) of plantation in southeastern China's Jiangxi province. "The selection and breeding of new fast-growing varieties with high yield, high timber quality and strong [disease] resistance is an effective means of improving productivity and expanding forest resources."
