According to a recent study by a team of German scientists, to remove a billion tons of CO2 through “enhanced weathering,” approximately three billion tons of basalt would have to be mined, crushed, and transported. “While this is a very large amount” of rock to mine, grind, and ship, the authors noted, it is…

A research team has successfully developed dual-site radioactive isotope dye-sensitized betavoltaic cells, a next-generation semi-permanent battery that does not require recharging.
example, one very cool approach for steelmaking is to use clean electricity to replace coal. A company I’m following closely has developed a new process called molten oxide electrolysis: Instead of burning iron in a furnace with coke, you pass electricity through a cell that contains a mixture of liquid iron oxide and other ingredients.

But four kilometers (2.5 miles) below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, where no sunlight can reach, small mineral deposits called polymetallic nodules have been recorded making so-called dark oxygen
On the surface of the nodules, the team "amazingly found voltages almost as high as are in an AA battery," Sweetman said.
