A wave of electric workhorses is coming. Katie Fehrenbacher. Wed, 04/21/2021 - 01:45. When most folks think of the electrification of transportation, they naturally think about electric cars. And all those new models coming out — from Ford's Mach-e to Volkswagen's ID.4 — are super exciting. But of equal importance is all those other vehicles big and small that aren't carrying passengers on commutes or to the local Starbucks, but that are toiling behind the scenes.

As investment pours into climate tech, it’s true that a rising tide lifts all boats. But in markets -- especially fast-changing markets, like batteries, hydrogen, carbon capture, just to name a few -- those boats don't all get the same lift. Certain parts of the value chain, from upstream mining or manufacturing to downstream deployment models, are far better places to build a business than others.

What looks set to be the world’s most powerful operational tidal turbine was launched on Earth Day, Thursday 22 April, from the port of Dundee. The 2MW tidal turbine, the Orbital O2, has been under construction since 2019 and it was developed by Scottish firm Orbital Marine Power (Orbital). Thursday’s operation was managed by Osprey Shipping and saw the 680-tonne tidal turbine transferred from the Forth Ports quayside facility in Dundee into the River Tay using a submersible barge.

Sustainable Fashion Starts With Eliminating Toxic Fast Fashion. The use of toxic chemicals threatens the progress of creating a truly sustainable fashion industry.

Not all textile waste is suitable for some form of recycling and if clothes contain toxic chemicals, their potential for safe recycling and circularity is at best restricted, and

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
