Bill Gates’s Breakthrough Energy has awarded a $40 million grant to Deep Sky, a Canadian startup developing the "Alpha" testing ground in Alberta to accelerate the deployment of direct air capture technologies. 👋 The facility, set to launch next spring, will host up to eight companies, including Airhive and Mission Zero, to refine their carbon removal systems. Deep Sky is simultaneously advancing multiple development stages to speed up commercial-scale deployment. 🗣️ Deep Sky CEO Damien Steel highlighted the project’s sense of urgency: “We don’t have the time. The reason [steps are] done in a sequential order is because nobody ever wants to take on any risk,” he said. Deep Sky is pursuing multiple development processes simultaneously to accelerate progress. https://lnkd.in/e64eRpXj #Carbon #ClimateInsider #BillGates #StartUp

9 Clean Energy Developers to Know in 2024 🌍 💥 Renewable energy, as you may have guessed, comes from renewable sources; this might include solar, wind, or geothermal power. The key point here is that the energy is self-replenishing – that is, it never runs out. But even if something is technically renewable, that doesn’t always mean it’s clean. Clean energy, on the other hand, describes any source of energy that doesn’t release CO2. The only source of clean energy that doesn’t fall under renewable energy is nuclear; the fuel it runs on doesn’t technically replenish itself, but producing energy this way doesn’t create CO2. With this here are 9 energy developers you should know from 2024 and beyond! 🔹 EDF 🔹 CHINA NATIONAL NUCLEAR CORPORATION 🔹 Constellation 🔹 Commonwealth Fusion Systems 🔹 Helion 🔹 State Power Investment Corporation Limited 🔹 China Huaneng Group 🔹 Goldwind 🔹 Vestas #CleanEnergy #ClimateInsider #RenewableEnergy #CO2
