How Green Mining Paves The Way To A Sustainable And Net Zero Future

How Green Mining Paves The Way To A Sustainable And Net Zero Future

Scientists at the Earth Sciences department of the University of Oxford demonstrate how to directly extract valuable metals from hot salty fluids (brines) trapped in porous rocks at roughly 2km below dormant volcanoes. They propose that this green-mining approach will sustainably provide essential metals for a net-zero future.   Magma underneath volcanoes releases metal-rich gasses that ascend toward the surface. These gases separate into brine and steam as the pressure drops. Most of the dissolved metals in the original magmatic gas become concentrated in the dense brine, which gets trapped in porous rock. The less-dense and metal-depleted steam continues to rise to...

This wireless lantern produces clean and renewable energy for up to 45 days with just half a liter of water.

   Gallery   Colombian renewable energy startup E-Dina has presented a solution that promises to improve the quality of life of communities without access to this vital resource, offering an energy alternative with the power to supply a great demand while taking care of the environment. The startup has developed a wireless lantern called WaterLight, that produces electrical energy from a renewable natural resource such as saltwater. Developed in collaboration with the Colombian division of creative agency Wunderman Thompson, WaterLight is a more reliable alternative to solar lamps in off-grid communities. The portable device needs to be filled with 500...

Close look at Rivian’s insanely engineered $5,000 camp kitchen that fits in its electric pickup truck

  Rivian has released a closer look at its insanely engineered $5,000 camp kitchen that fits inside its R1T electric pickup truck. The electric vehicle startup has been positioning its upcoming electric pickup truck, the R1T, as an “adventure vehicle,” and they have been working on a ton of accessories for it in order to make those adventures more enjoyable. The accessory that has been most fascinating for people is the full camp kitchen that Rivian managed to fit inside its novel storage space that sits between the bed and the cabin, which they call “Gear Tunnel.” At $6,750 (update:...

Tesla (TSLA) announces record deliveries in Q2 2021: 201,250 delivered, 206,421 produced

Tesla (TSLA) announces record deliveries in Q2 2021: 201,250 delivered, 206,421 produced

Tesla has confirmed that it managed to build 206,421 vehicles and deliver 201,250 electric cars in Q2 2021 – a new record for the electric automaker.    As we previously reported, the expectations for Tesla this quarter were kind of all over the place since it has been known that the company was facing some important supply chain challenges in Q2. Delays in bringing the new Model S to market created a backlog at the end of the quarter, and on top of that, over 10,000 vehicles were put on a containment hold in May, which delayed many deliveries until Tesla was...

Two Indigenous-led LNG developments raise hopes of new West Coast natural gas export projects

Two Indigenous-led LNG developments raise hopes of new West Coast natural gas export projects

CALGARY — After a string of cancelled liquefied natural gas projects in British Columbia, a pair of new proposals led by Indigenous groups is reinvigorating hope that additional Western Canadian natural gas exports to Asia could finally become a reality. The Nisga’a Nation, whose traditional territory is north of Prince Rupert near the Alaska border, and a Calgary-based consortium of natural gas producers called Rockies LNG Partners, plan to file a project description for the Ksi Lisims LNG project in the next month or two, the Financial Post has learned. “I am pleased to advise all of you about a...
