. . [+] AVA Ocean Reinventing seabed harvesting: Ava Ocean Scallop harvesting has wreaked havoc on fragile marine ecosystems, disrupting life below the ocean’s surface.

Ava’s technology enables fishermen to identify, select and sort the ocean bottom-dwelling species without harming the seabed or surrounding ecosystems. As a result, after 30 years of being unable to harvest, next month the Arctic Pearl (pictured above) will leave for the Arctic Ocean, and the Arctic Scallops (Chlamys islandica) fishery will reopen. Thermal energy storage solution at Nordjyllandsværket in Denmark, Kyoto’s first commercial contract.

[+] On track for planned commissioning in early 2023. Kyoto Cutting carbon emissions with thermal energy storage: Kyoto Heat accounts for half of global energy consumption. At the same time, 89% of the heat produced by fossil and renewable sources makes up 40% of global carbon emissions.

Thermal energy storage can fill the gap between renewable energy and heat demand, providing heat when needed and taking the strain off the electrical network. Kyoto’s solution is its Heatcube TM, which can store electricity from the grid, off-grid solar & wind energy, or any combination, substituting thermal power for heat. Each Heatcube measures 170 sq m by 310 sq m and can store energy using molten salt -a proven technology – for up to eight hours.

What’s Musk Really Doing? Collecting circularity data about waste to change behaviour: Carrot The world has a rubbish problem – exactly 2bn tonnes of it. Yet very little is known about it – what kind of rubbish, how much it weighs, and what can be reused in an environmentally-friendly way.

Carrot’s software can collect data about domestic and business waste to identify resources that can be recycled, reused, repurposed, or even sold. In addition, the software enables public and private waste management companies to incentivize and reward users for sorting their wasting waste through Pay-As-You-Throw, cutting the volume of garbage.

In addition, businesses and sole traders can connect their e-commerce store to Gelato directly or via e-commerce platforms. In the early months of the pandemic, Gelato made its platform more widely available to e-commerce platforms such as Etsy and Shopify. This paid dividends as personalized shopping online took off as people could no longer give friends and families gifts in person.

Launched in 2007, today Gelato’s fastest growth comes from the U. S. , U.

K. , Australia, Asia, and Germany. Waste is turned into renewable energy in Antec’s converter Antec Renewable energy from biowaste: Antec Biological waste may be the most significant untapped energy revolution waiting to happen.

The Oslo-based company Antec and the Norweigan University of Life Sciences has designed technology that can convert biowaste into biogas, biofertilizer, circular fuels, clean heat, and renewable electricity. The process mimics the natural process of creating biogas from biomass. Organic waste produces methane, a high-energy gas that, if harnessed, can be used for heating, generating electricity, or fuel.

Making biogas has traditionally been expensive, hindering the industry, but Antec believes its technology and other advances will drive the cost down to competitive levels shortly. Follow me on Twitter or LinkedIn . Check out my website .
