As part of our predictions in clean tech for 2024 series (see this post on predictions in AgTech), today, I’m posting research on climate policy and interviews with top climate policy / science experts: Gabrielle Jorgensen, the advocacy director and a co-founder of Climate Changemakers, a non-profit climate advocacy program, … [continued]
Agricultural technologies (AgTech) is an arena of the clean tech ecosystem that can address a good chunk of our global climate changing emissions. Estimates range widely depending on how things are measured, but suffice to say, I think we can leave it at “a good chunk.” I’ll break it down … [continued]
Microsoft and Qcells bring a 12-gigawatt solar power deal to Georgia, where public officials have joined a campaign against…solar power.
The common thread among the disparate things in the title is hydrogen, whether green, gray or pitch black. What, you might ask does hydrogen have to do with forklifts, cryptocurrency and green fertilizer? Read on. Let’s start with forklifts. Recently they splashed across screens again, as Amazon installed a hydrogen … [continued]
A new agrivoltaic project aims to enlist bifacial solar panels and saffron in the effort to save small farms with new specialty crops.
As we consider how major industries will shift, one of the key questions is what industries by definition are high carbon in one place but can be green as the driven snow in another? And so we come to fertilizer, and not the kind that comes from the north end … [continued]
When I was a child, Christmas holiday festivities were always food-rich occasions. My paternal Polish grandparents hosted Christmas Eve, and 12 different dishes were served that represented the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ, the 12 months in a year, and the lucky number in Polish culture. On Christmas Day, we turned … [continued]
After ExxonMobil walks away, algae biofuel gets another shot at success and the US Department of Energy is here for it.
The global food system, which encompasses production, post-farm processes, and distribution, is a key contributor to emissions. Viable technological solutions can help to reduce the effect of food production, which is responsible for about one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Enter food tech, a multi-billion dollar industry.
The field of agrivoltaics is rapidly evolving to include fleets of new autonomous, mobile solar powered robots that weed and analyze crops.
