"As part of the new initiative which spans multiple government agencies, the Departments of the Interior, Energy and Commerce committed to a shared goal of generating 30 gigawatts of offshore wind in the US by 2030. This target will lead to employing more than 44,000 workers in offshore wind by 2030 and nearly 33,000 additional jobs in communities supported by offshore wind activity, according to a government fact sheet."MORE> https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/29/politics/offshore-wind-energy-biden-announcement/index.html?utm_term=link&utm_medium=social&utm_co

Tonnes of food scraps collected from restaurants and supermarkets are being converted into electricity under a green energy i

Iron powder burns readily at high temperatures releasing energy as it oxidizes. This energy can be used to produce steam used in industrial processes or to produce electricity. The burning process emits no carbon, just easily collectable rust. This rust can then be turned back into iron powder with an electrical current (produced from wind or solar) and burnt again. Producing a zero carbon power generation process. Swinkels Family Brewers in the Netherlands has become the first business in the world to put this process to work at an industrial scale. https://newatlas.com/energy/bavarian-brewery-carbon-free-renewable-iron-fuel/

Australia will see the first hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles on the road in nine months. Coregas will purchase two hydrogen trucks and build a refueling station in Port Kembla NSW. This project is supported by NSW Government after the announcement of $740 million funding boost to build the foundation for new net-zero industries and transit heavy emitting industries. Higher energy density makes hydrogen more preferable for transferring large loads and long distance compared to electric vehicles. This means we will see hydrogen trucks, regional buses and trains carrying the heavy lifting to decarbonise freight sector. https://www.drive.com.au/news/trucks-likely-to-lead-the-way-with-hydrogen-power-124557 

These MechanicalTreesTM are passive direct air capture technologies that absorb the CO2 rather than sucking them out of the air. The 150 sorbent tiles of a 10 meter tall mechanical structure can be fully saturated with CO2 in 20 minutes and go through the standard scrubbing process after retracing into a chamber. Some blue sky thinking but would it be great if we can make these mechanical trees as retractable wind towers for offshore hydrogen production? You will have the green hydrogen, negative carbon plus smart offshore wind farms can survive extreme weather to battle climate change. https://mechanicaltrees.com/mechanicaltrees/
