Fully organic rechargeable household batteries are an ideal alternative to traditional metal-based batteries, and are a positive step in the fight to reduce waste from heading to landfill.
"While starting with small household batteries, we already know organic redox-active materials are typical electroactive alternatives due to their inherently safe, lightweight and structure-tunable features," says senior lecturer in chemistry, Dr Zhongfan Jia, a research leader at Flinders University's Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology.
Lithium-ion batteries have enabled a proliferation of portable devices and electric vehicles, but the rising demand for materials such as lithium, cobalt and other mineral ore resources have had a significant global environmental impact, including the non-hazardous disposal of batteries, according to the release.

Energiestro's flyheel energy storage system consists of a hollow or solid cylinder that is rotated around an axis and connected to an electric motor and generator. The system stores electricity by converting it into kinetic energy using the motor and the flywheel that rotates at such a high speed that the electrical power is transformed into mechanical power.
The device is claimed to have a lifetime of one million cycles, good resistance to high temperatures, a carbon footprint of 10g of CO2 per kWh.. The system capacity should be increased, initially, to 20 kWh, and then 50 kWh, to eventually reach 24 hours of storage. Production is expeted to begin the year, according to Energiestro.

The production chain consists of the assembly of cylinder kits in the company's facilities in Amal, (Sweden), followed by the final assembly of a complete Stirling engine in its factory in Uddevalla (Sweden). The thermal energy storage unit is assembled by AQ Systems in Vaggeryd (Sweden) then married on site.
To date, Azelio has secured orders for two TES.POD units in Sweden and one unit in Dubai, as
well as a conditional order from Egypt for twenty TES.POD units, corresponding to 260 kW of
electrical output and 3.3 MWh of storage capacity. The company's goal for 2021 is to sign and
begin delivery of one or two 100 kW or larger projects. (Source: Azelio, PR, Website, 22 Sept., 2021)

The companies plan to help address industrial CO2 emissions in one of the largest concentrated sources in the United States. Collectively, the 11 companies are considering using CCS technology at facilities that generate electricity and manufacture products that society uses every day, such as plastics, motor fuels and packaging.
If CCS technology is fully implemented at the Houston-area facilities these 11 companies operate, nearly 75 million metric tons of CO2 could be captured and stored per year by 2040. There are ongoing discussions with other companies that have industrial operations in the area to add even more CO2 capture capacity. They could announce their support at a later date and add further momentum toward the city of Houston's ambitions to be carbon neutral by 2050.
Wide-scale deployment of CCS in the Houston area will require the collective support of industry, communities and government. If appropriate policies and regulations are put in place, CCS could generate tens of thousands of new jobs, protect current jobs and reduce emissions at a lower cost to society than many other widely available technologies. The 11 companies will continue to advocate for policies that enable the long-term commercial viability of new, expanded and existing CCS investments in Texas.

The coalition members, all of which are involved in the hydrogen economy, see a lack of U.S. policy support for hydrogen which they say is derailing their decarbonisation efforts and inhibiting economic growth and important technology.
The Hydrogen Forward coalition aims to support policies that accelerate the energy transition, enable the US to engage more with energy and climate leadership, and above all, want to "establish a clear, comprehensive strategy for hydrogen and related infrastructure development."

Norsepower's Rotor Sail technology, which can be installed on new vessels or retrofitted on existing ships, is a modernized version of the Flettner rotor -- a spinning cylinder that uses the Magnus effect to harness wind to propel a ship. The solution is fully automated and senses whenever the wind is strong enough to deliver fuel savings, at which point the rotors start automatically.
Since its establishment in November 2012, Norsepower has raised more than $24 million of funding since its founding in 2012.

The CarbonCure Technology enhances the competitiveness of the concrete industry through improved production efficiency and sustainability. The technology injects a precise dosage of captured waste carbon dioxide (CO2) into concrete during production. Once introduced, the CO2 chemically converts to a nano-mineral, creating manufacturing efficiencies while reducing the concrete's carbon footprint.
The CarbonCure Technology is presently installed in nearly 150 concrete plants in North America and Southeast Asia, with more than 2.3 million cubic meters of concrete supplying a wide range of construction projects from airports, roads to high-rise towers.
CarbonCure, the world leader in carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology used in the production of concrete, is on a pathway to reduce 500 megatons of CO2 emissions annually.
CarbonCure technology is estimated to be a $400 billion market opportunity with the potential to reduce up to 1.4 gigatons of annual CO2 emissions by 2030, according to the Global CO2 Initiative. (Source: CarbonCure, PR, 8 Aug., 2019)
