World’s First Commerical Seaweed Farm In An Offshore Wind Farm
The crowded waters of the North Sea will make room for a first-of-its kind seaweed farm, to be co-located with an offshore wind farm.

In my last post, I whined about the lack of investment support for public benefit types of companies (ahem), particularly from the big money players. Climate tech VC and corporate strategic investment are super, super critical elements of the clean tech revolution. I want to take nothing away from their … [continued]

Carbon capture, direct air capture, and carbon direct removal are back in the hype cycle again, so yet again I’m looking at solutions that are technically interesting, if not remotely likely to scale. Under the microscope today is Vesta Earth, which is exploring olivine weathering as a beach sand supplementation … [continued]
The Biden administration aims to recruit 400 farmers to help tap into vast reserves of untapped wind power in the US.
For various reasons, many of us have spent time without a roof over our heads. For some, it’s homelessness that brought us there. For others, it was military service or other government work. For the craziest of us (I’m in this last category) we did it for fun or as … [continued]
An in-depth look behind the scenes of Eni’s new green strategy: developing new agricultural production channels from scratch in six African countries to supply its refineries and the emerging “green” aviation market. All against the backdrop of the Meloni government’s new influence strategy in Africa, the Mattei Plan, which gives … [continued]
Research by Argonne National Lab and NREL shows that agrivoltaics can actually increase the number of pollinators on a farm.
Investigation into Eni’s projects in Kenya and the Republic of the Congo shows company is failing to produce “miracle” drought-resistant biofuels crops at scale. Italian oil giant Eni is failing to deliver on its promise to produce thousands of tonnes of biofuel crops¹, a new investigation shows. The investigation by … [continued]
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, the Solar and Storage Industries Institute (SI2) announced the launch of the Solar + Farms Survey. This groundbreaking research initiative explores barriers to agrivoltaics, or solar projects that serve a dual purpose by incorporating food crops or forage for livestock under and around the solar panels. … [continued]
