OTC FLOW U.S.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is investing over $58 million in 11 pilot projects aimed at advancing carbon dioxide removal technologies. These projects will test innovative methods like biomass carbon removal and enhanced mineralization, designed to capture CO2 directly from the atmosphere. This funding aligns with the DOE’s goal of reducing the cost of carbon removal to under $100 per metric ton by 2032, helping combat climate change and build a sustainable carbon dioxide removal industry.

MIT Engineers Develop Solar-Powered, Battery-Free Desalination System   MIT engineers have designed a solar-powered desalination system that efficiently converts salty groundwater into drinking water without the need for expensive batteries. The system adapts to fluctuations in sunlight, using nearly 94% of available solar energy to produce up to 5,000 liters of clean water per day. This innovative technology could provide a cost-effective solution for areas with limited access to fresh water and grid power, particularly benefiting inland and remote communities.   #CleanWater #Solar #Sustainability #Batteries #MIT

🔬 New Catalyst for Sustainable Propylene Production from Biomass    Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a breakthrough catalyst that efficiently converts glycerol, a biodiesel byproduct, into bio-based propylene. This innovation offers a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based methods for producing propylene, which is widely used in plastics. By using renewable energy sources like hydrogen, this technology could significantly reduce the environmental impact of the chemical industry.   #Sustainability #Biomass #CleanEnergy #Biofuels #Innovation #Propylene

🔋 New Low-Cost Battery Cathode Could Revolutionize Electric Vehicles Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a groundbreaking, low-cost iron chloride cathode that could drastically reduce costs and improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. This innovation is poised to reshape the electric vehicle market and large-scale energy storage systems, making clean energy solutions more affordable and sustainable. With up to 40% cost reduction, this could be a game-changer for both EV adoption and grid resilience. #CleanEnergy #EV #Sustainability #Innovation #Tech

♻️ California Leads with First U.S. Clothing Recycling Law California has passed SB 707, the first law in the U.S. to mandate clothing and textile recycling. By 2026, producers must implement recycling programs to combat textile waste fueled by fast fashion, which heavily burdens landfills. This bold move aims to foster a more sustainable and circular textile economy, with drop-off points available statewide by 2030. The law is a major step forward in reducing waste and reimagining the lifecycle of fashion. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Recycling #ClimateAction

🔌 U.S. Fund Grants Sierra Leone $480 Million to Expand Electricity Access The Millennium Challenge Corporation has granted $480 million to Sierra Leone to boost electricity access for 4.6 million people. With only 30% of the population currently connected to the grid—dropping to just 5% in rural areas—this funding will be crucial in improving the reliability and sustainability of the country’s power network through three key projects. This marks a significant step towards addressing Sierra Leone's ongoing energy challenges. #EnergyAccess #SierraLeone #SustainableDevelopment #Infrastructure #CleanEnergy
