A nonprofit named Reflective has published a roadmap outlining the experiments, studies, and infrastructure needed to make informed decisions about deploying solar geoengineering, specifically stratospheric aerosol injection, to address climate change.
The article describes a live tool that measures carbon-aware electricity pricing across 38 grids, comparing different pricing models to estimate potential CO2 savings based on real-time data.
The article critiques The Ocean Cleanup initiative for failing to solve plastic pollution and causing harm to marine life, despite its popularity and funding.
Puerto Rico is rationing water due to a historic drought and failing infrastructure, but rainwater harvesting could offer a cost-effective solution to mitigate the crisis.
This MIT Technology Review newsletter covers two stories: the use of worms and microbes in vermifiltration systems to reduce manure pollution from livestock, and the practical engineering challenges facing solar geoengineering as it moves from simulations to reality.
Proposes URIEL, a new logging method for tropical forests using heli-logging, robotics, and AI to enable selective sustainable logging and post-harvest silvicultural treatment, demonstrating high economic viability and reduced collateral damage to forests.
Grale is a product aimed at addressing the problem of microplastics, listed on Product Hunt. Details are limited but it appears to be an environmental/cleantech solution.
