☆ This cement startup says it goes beyond net zero to true zero carbon emissions

"By decomposing minerals at ambient temperature using electrochemistry, it actually allows us to use minerals that contain calcium for cement that aren't limestone, and that's what makes us true zero as opposed to net zero," Ellis explained. Its One Boston Wharf Road will be the largest net zero office building in the city, with Sublime cement in the ground floor public space. Its venture capital backers are Lower Carbon Capital, Engine Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, Prime Impact Fund, Siam Cement Group and MCJ Collective. For perspective, about 90 million tons of cement are produced in the U.S. per year. "This is a first-of-a kind process, and we're competing with a technologies that have been scaled to a million tons per year plus for, you know, decades.

☆ Elon Musk says AI has no 'use' at SpaceX — at least for now

Elon Musk revealed that SpaceX "basically uses no AI." "I mean, oddly enough, one of the areas where there's almost no AI used is space exploration," Musk replied. "So SpaceX uses basically no AI, Starlink does not use AI. At X, Musk integrated his AI chatbot Grok — similar to ChatGPT — into the social media platform. Musk also considered using AI to help summarize news on the site.

☆ Bill Gates-backed Antora is making big batteries to help factories transition to clean energy
  + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( Diana Olick | In Dianaolick | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Now, companies like Form Energy, AtmosZero and a Silicon Valley-based startup called Antora Energy are tackling the challenge with more affordable battery technology. "Because of that we're able to store energy at much lower costs." Christina Karapataki of Breakthrough Energy Ventures, which was founded by Bill Gates, says this business could be particularly lucrative. There are now about a dozen thermal energy storage companies using sand, rock, brick or other types of ceramic to store energy as heat. Along with funding from Breakthrough energy, Antora is also backed by Chris Sacca's Lowercarbon Capital, Shell Ventures, BHP Ventures, Grok Ventures and Trust Ventures.

An electric vehicle replaces a combustion engine with an electric motor, and that's what Sublime Systems does in the cement-making process. So he moved to eastern Canada, where they don't have a lot of rabbis," Ellis told CNBC of her father's move. And I think we both sort of gravitate to things that are challenging," Ellis told CNBC. I think the best way we have to get around fossil fuels is to use electrons," Ellis told CNBC. There will be numerous approaches, all of which have challenges and most of which deserve to be tested," Chiang told CNBC.

☆ EV battery makers race to develop cheaper cell materials, skirting China
  + stars: | 2022-11-15 | by ( Nick Carey Paul Lienert | Nick Carey | Paul Lienert | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +9 min
Today's EVs run on lithium ion batteries — mostly made with lithium, cobalt, manganese and high-grade nickel, whose prices have soared. The EVs of the future — those arriving after 2025 — could shift to sodium ion or lithium sulfur battery cells that could be up to two-thirds cheaper than today's lithium ion cells. China's CATL (300750.SZ) has said it plans to begin producing sodium ion cells in 2023. Michigan-based Amandarry and British startup AMTE Power (AMTE.L) are developing sodium ion batteries using sodium chloride — basically table salt — as the main cathode ingredient. Battery developers hope they can add sodium ion and lithium sulfur batteries to the range open to the auto industry.
