How A Record-High “Energy Imbalance” Is Driving Global Warming
The planet is heating up more quickly than ever before. For decades, greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity have been building up in the atmosphere and trapping ever-higher levels of heat. The resulting asymmetry between incoming solar energy and energy radiated back out into space — known as “Earth’s … [continued]

Boston Metal’s Current Evidence Points To Critical Metals, Not Green Steel
Boston Metal’s public story has shifted in a way that makes the company more credible in the near term, but less sweeping as a green-steel story. The company is still built around molten oxide electrolysis, or MOE, an electrically driven process for reducing metal oxides without coal. The near-term commercial … [continued]

Climate Solutions Need To Pass Three Tests Before They Deserve Policy Or Capital
A lot of transition analysis gives too much credit to technologies that can be made to work and not enough scrutiny to whether they matter. The difference shows up across carbon capture hubs, synthetic fuel claims, small modular reactor schedules, cement decarbonization pathways, aviation fuel projections, ammonia shipping forecasts, grid … [continued]
