George, George, George of the Jungle, Strong as he can be. (Yell) Watch out for that tree! (“Oooh!”) Lately, it feels like we—investors, journalists, grantmakers, the yearning public, idealists, politicos—are all a little like George of the Jungle. We mean well. We want to rescue the world from climate disaster, energy insecurity and collapse. But […]
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) published the first peer-reviewed lifecycle assessment for recreational boats, concluding no “one size fits all” solution for carbon emission reduction. Given boats’ 30-50 year useful life, sustainable solutions are vital. Sustainable marine fuels are identified as a critical American energy source for the global marine industry. A Sustainable Marine […]
Liberation Labs is addressing the biomanufacturing capacity gap with a new 600 M3 multi-use facility in Richmond, Indiana, purpose-built for modern organisms. Long-lead equipment has been ordered and received, and environmental permits are secured. Slated for EOY 2025 completion with a $115MM budget, this facility signifies a concrete step in building out US biomanufacturing capabilities, […]
This is Part 2 of our two-part series — part one is here. The Strait Is Still Open. But the Signal Is Clear. The Strait of Hormuz remains navigable—for now. But the headlines are unmistakable: armed exchanges between Israel and Iran, U.S. warnings of retaliation, and a cease-fire that could dissolve overnight. This time, oil […]
Carbon Recycling International (CRI) operates the first certified e-fuel plant and the largest, most efficient CO2 to Methanol plant, producing over 210,000 tonnes. Their patented, flexible reactor design handles diverse CO2 and hydrogen feedstocks. Methanol is crucial for maritime decarbonization, with vessel orders soaring. CRI’s proven Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL) technology is a commercially deployed solution for […]
Carbon Recycling International (CRI) offers Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL) technology that converts CO2 and H2 into practical, low-carbon fuels like methanol. Methanol demand is projected to grow from 97MT (2020) to over 500MT by 2050, driven by shipping and aviation. CRI, with 15+ years of experience, provides a proven, commercially deployed solution that integrates seamlessly into existing […]
This is Part 1 of our two-part series, Part 2 is here. It’s High Noon at the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s parliament has voted to close it, and while the final decision now rests with its national security council, the message is already echoing through global oil markets. One-fifth of the world’s oil moves through […]
Ecostrat introduces BDO Zone Ratings to certify regional readiness for biomanufacturing. A novel initiative is the “B-RREADI for Wildfire Challenge,” which leverages ‘W-BDO Zones’ to attract biomanufacturing plants. This creates market demand for removing combustible forest biomass, offering an economic incentive to reduce wildfire risk. Ecostrat also offers Feedstock Supply Insurance (FSI)® to de-risk biomass […]
I’ve seen Main Streets where the hardware store is closed and now there’s a payday lender, where the once-bustling main intersection is home to perhaps a Wal-Mart, maybe a Dollar Store, maybe just boarded up buildings, the bank’s gone, the gas station’s battered, the feed store’s probably in the next county. You’d think that was […]
NexantECA identifies Power-to-Liquids (PTL) and CO2 utilization as increasingly vital due to projected shortfalls in meeting 2050 emission targets with current technologies. PTL, utilizing CO2 as a feedstock, typically requires dedicated low-carbon intensity power. The presentation explores various CO2 capture options, including “Blue” CCS, BECCS, and Direct Air Capture (DAC), detailing their respective costs and […]
