How To Invest For An Electrified Society
Never has so much financial muscle, nor religion of all stripes, or polities of all leanings been so aligned behind a single cause. Described by Francois Hollande as the ‘first universal agreement in history’, it is neither financial regulation or sanction, trade treaty or peace deal – it is an energy treaty. The culmination of […]
Learning To Live With Higher Inflation Volatility.
PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE… However, before we sound the all clear on the deflationary pulse that has characterised markets since perhaps the 1987 Asian financial crisis, investors must brace for a period of volatility in inflation numbers, in both directions; the rate of change nature of markets versus investor expectations will ensure that. […]
Renewable Diesel
Pyrolysis promises a remarkable opportunity to recycle tyres and plastics into energy dense renewable drop in fuels
Bio-Coal
Coal powered industrial steam turbines boilers dominate African industrial facilities, responsible for everyday items such as food, beverage plastics and packaging.
Recycled Solar Panels
The dark side of solar describes the impending waste mountain as PV panel deployments ramps at a ever faster clip
All Aboard the Clean Industrial Revolution
THE NAVIGATE CIRCULAR CARBON ECONOMY PLATFORM It’s difficult to avoid what would appear to be mounting evidence of alarming climate change all around us – news of devasting storms, rampant wildfires and debilitating droughts, increasingly permeating the news cycle. The ‘weather’, regardless of whether its interlocutors being of British provenance or not, leads many a […]
Cutting the Big 5 to Size: Manufacturing
Manufacturing accounts for 29% of global emissions and affords one of the most stubborn of emissions stains. Not all clean tech climate solutions describe greenfield breakthrough technologies, some of the most significant gains can be made by retrofitting existing facilities. For example, we now have the means to inject waste carbon into fresh concrete, the […]
Cutting the Big 5 to size: Electricity Generation, Plant Power
However, the substitution of fossil fuels is not limited to agriculture. Whilst having the benefits of limiting greenhouse gases, even those more potent than carbon dioxide, the process of making biochar has numerous other advantages – namely energy produced by pyrolysis to produce a gaseous mixture called syngas. This then becomes a carbon negative substitution […]
Cutting the Big 5 to size: Agriculture, Miracle Growth Compound
The very seeds which we sow and then how we proceed to cultivate them, has a major bearing on our climate. However, commercially viable synthetic fertilizers are one example of agricultural innovation, as opposed to those derived from hydrocarbons. By employing microbial products which draw nitrogen from the air, we can lessen impact by employing […]
Cutting the Big 5 Down to Size: Low Carbon Infra
LOW CARBON INFRASTRUCTURE: THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION During COVID, as we literally turned off the ignition of the world, it was shovel ready infrastructure projects which topped government global agendas. ‘Connectivity’ drives growth and trade, which can be delivered in an almost ethereal sense, through the digital connections brought by sub sea cables, as well […]
