I get it. You think Superman feeds the world, or Batman saves it. But the truth is, the planet runs on water — and what swims in it. I’m Aquaman, and while my Justice League buddies chase comets or clobber villains, I’m here to talk about algae. Not just any algae — EnSoil Algae, a […]
The weather in Eugene, Oregon, in late September 1969 is unseasonably cold. Upper 40s, a sharp bite in the morning air. Fog lies heavy in the Willamette Valley, pressed down by a temperature inversion, cool air trapped beneath a warmer ceiling. The moisture condenses into a gray curtain, a veil between the runner and the […]
I. A Season Turns It was the kind of morning when New York seemed suspended between seasons. The heavy languor of summer had broken overnight, swept out by a thunderstorm that left the air cool and restless. Fog hugged the East River, and the slick pavements gleamed with the last of the rain. For me, […]
Biomethanol is quietly emerging as one of the most compelling levers in the decarbonization of both renewable chemicals and marine propulsion—a bit like cryogenic CO₂ in food processing: pragmatic, powerful, and often underappreciated. Drawing on my experience in commodity-based technologies, I see biomethanol providing the same kind of transformational shift in shipping and chemical feedstocks. […]

At the heart of SBTi is a simple ethos: follow the science. This ethos has played a large part in the […]
Ryder Cup. Bethpage Black. The 17th hole. Two hundred and thirty-two yards into a stiff crosswind. The pin is tucked back-left, the nastiest spot on one of golf’s nastiest holes. The green is wide up front, but narrows to a sliver toward that back corner. Miss it left or long and you vanish into a […]
I read earlier today an assertion that SAF costs seven times as much as jet fuel, and it reminds me the world is still pretty clueless about SAF’s progress. As if the U.S. Navy’s $2.18-per-gallon order with AltAir back in 2016 didn’t happen. Now, with new technologies like Universal Fuel Technologies’ fascinating Flexiforming process making […]
By Sam A. Rushing, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd., www.carbondioxideconsultants.com Special to The Digest The science of life at low temperatures, literally referring to cryobiology, has a number of applicable areas when considering carbon dioxide as a merchant gas. Often, this product would be sought as a USP (United States Pharmacopeia), which is a very small percentage […]

Three years ago, at ABLC 2022 Mars Materials CEO Aaron Fitzgerald arrived on stage for his ABLC debut with the kind of conviction that can only come from founders staring into the abyss and seeing an opening instead of a wall. Not many had heard of the company then. Lot more now, with the news […]
