Cement and concrete decarbonization are elements of $6 billion in grants that the US Department of Energy announced this week. In total, 33 projects across more than 20 states will help accelerate the commercial scale demonstration of emerging industrial decarbonization technologies. Portland Cement describes the process for creating cement as … [continued]
A list of chemical and refining awards from the recent $6 billion federal investment includes lots of fossil fuel companies.
Industrial decarbonization is in the news. This week the US government announced $6 billion in grants that makers of metal, paper, and glass can use to cut planet-warming emissions. The Biden-Harris administration is framing these grants as a key opportunity to transform the US industrial sector and strengthen domestic manufacturing. … [continued]
Politics aside, the Southeastern US is emerging as an epicenter of rapid decarbonization, with electric vehicles front and center.
A $7 billion green steel plant uncorks the green hydrogen bottleneck with on-site electrolyzer systems and renewable energy.
Following up on my article about Jo Borras’ podcast with Laura Eve, VP of SaaS Sustainability Solutions for Zeigo, I have my own podcast with Zeigo team members about their tech. As a reminder, Zeigo, part of Schneider Electric, offers a suite of decarbonization software solutions. In the CleanTech Talk … [continued]
