    Geothermal energy could grow 80-fold by 2050. 🚀  Yes, you read that right: 80 times!

Join us as we explore the shifts in policy, the impacts on environmental protections, and what lies ahead in this new era.

    Homegrown critical minerals - is that possible? - John Worth, CEO Geo40

    Critical minerals might be flowing underground, right beneath your feet!  That is great news.  Because the minerals we need for clean technologies like electrical vehicles, solar panels and digital screens, often come from dirty, unsustainable mining processes concentrated in a few countries.   John Worth, the CEO of Geo40, extracts minerals like lithium and silica from fluids, either from geothermal plants or other underground resources, without any rock crushing involved.  Hear his story in the latest episode of our podcast, ‘The Switch – to a green economy.’ Watch it on YouTube, listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.  Did you know that these minerals can be found in fluids?

    Cutting offshore wind costs IKEA style - Sam Kanner, CEO Aikido

    Cutting offshore wind costs IKEA style!  That’s what Sam Kanner and his company Aikido have set out to do.  80% of the world's potential wind energy potential exists over deeper water, where the wind platforms need to be floating.   There’s just one problem: building, assembling and installing large, commercial-scale floating wind farms is costly and takes a long time, up to 10 years.  Aikido’s solution: a foldable, submersible technology that aims to build and assemble offshore wind farms twice as fast, just using a third of the space needed today. Almost like a flat pack from IKEA ...  Watch this episode on YouTube or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to hear more.  Did you know floating wind energy held such great potential?  #WindPower #InnovativeTechnology #GreenInnovation #CleanEnergy
