Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is a world of methane rivers and lakes, icy boulders, sandy dunes, and a vast subsurface ocean. Could this distant world harbor life? A new study led by Dr. Antonin Affholder, now a fellow at ETH Zurich, suggests that Titan's ocean might support life—but only in the tiniest amounts, making it incredibly hard to find. Join communications specialist Beth Johnson as she chats with Dr. Affholder to explore what this means for the search for life beyond Earth, why organics on Titan may not provide enough fuel, and how NASA's Dragonfly mission might help answer these questions.

On Episode #175 of the PricePlow Podcast, we sit down with Juan BenÃtez-GarcÃa, Chief Sales Officer, and Sini Möttönen, Senior Application Scientist from Solar Foods at IFT First 2025 in Chicago. Broadcasting from the Sensapure Flavors booth, we explore the revolutionary Solein® protein that's literally made "out of thin air". This isn't your typical alternative protein story. Solar Foods has achieved what seemed impossible: creating complete, high-quality protein without farms, animals, or even plants. Using ancient Finnish microbes and renewable electricity, they've developed a process that bypasses photosynthesis entirely, producing protein that's 80% pure with a complete amino acid profile including 20% BCAAs. The result is a golden-colored powder with exceptional nutritional density, including naturally high levels of iron and vitamin B12. Our conversation reveals how biomass fermentation differs from precision fermentation, why Solein® tastes creamy with subtle nutty notes, and how this technology earned NASA recognition for feeding astronauts on Mars missions. From ice cream to protein bars, Juan and Sini demonstrate the versatility of this groundbreaking ingredient while explaining why it represents a fundamental shift toward sustainable, location-independent protein production. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/solar-foods-solein-175 Video: Solar Foods Brings Protein "Out of Thin Air" to IFT First 2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ3hlgn0cZI Detailed Show Notes: The Science and Future of Air-Based Protein (0:00) – Introductions: Meeting the Solar Foods Team at IFT First (9:00) – The Science Behind Solein®: How Protein Gets Made from Air (13:00) – Biomass vs. Precision Fermentation: Understanding the Key Difference (18:00) – Nutritional Profile: Why 80% Protein Changes Everything (29:00) – Flavor Innovation: Partnering with Sensapure for Taste Excellence (34:00) – Versatile Applications: From Ready-to-Mix to Ice Cream (43:00) – Protein Bar Innovation: Soft Texture That Lasts (52:00) – Space Applications: NASA Recognition and Mars Mission Potential (1:00:00) – Global Flavors and Ice Cream Success (1:04:00) – Market Timeline and Consumer Availability (1:07:00) – Contact Information and Industry Connections Where to Follow Solar Foods and Connect with the Team Juan BenÃtez-GarcÃa: LinkedIn Sini Möttönen: LinkedIn Solar Foods: Company Website LinkedIn Learn more about Solein® on PricePlow Sign up for PricePlow's Solar Foods news alerts Thank you to Juan and Sini for sharing the incredible story of Solein® and demonstrating how ancient Finnish microbes, renewable electricity, and innovative engineering are revolutionizing protein production. ...

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Good news from the offshore wind industry today. Vattenfall has named a new leader for its wind business division. Catrin Jung will take over as Head of Business Area Wind starting July first. Jung currently leads the company's offshore wind operations. She replaces Helene Bistrom, who is leaving the company. Jung joined Vattenfall in two thousand two. She has managed some of the company's largest investments in recent years. The wind division handles both offshore and onshore wind projects. It also manages large solar and battery projects. Jung says staying focused on fossil freedom is more important than ever in these uncertain times. The Netherlands reached a major renewable energy milestone last year. Renewable energy made up nearly twenty percent of the country's total energy use in twenty twenty four. That's up from seventeen point four percent in twenty twenty three. Statistics Netherlands released the preliminary data. The increase comes mainly from new offshore wind turbines and more biodiesel use in transportation. The overall renewable energy consumption reached three hundred fifty eight petajoules. That's a fifteen percent increase from twenty twenty three. Biomass remained the largest renewable source. Wind came second, followed by solar power. Renewables were mostly used for electricity at sixty percent. Heat and cooling accounted for twenty eight percent. Transport fuels made up twelve percent. The share of renewables has more than doubled compared to five years ago. A major wind energy project in Quebec has secured its funding. Invenergy and a consortium of 209 municipalities and territories in Eastern Quebec announced the closing of one point one billion dollars Canadian in financing. The money will fund the PPAW 1 Wind Energy Centre. The work will create three hundred fifty jobs during construction. Construction will happen throughout twenty twenty five and twenty twentysix. Commercial operation is expected in late twenty twenty six. Once operational, the project will add three hundred fifty megawatts to the local grid. France has achieved a renewable energy first. EDF Renewables has fully commissioned the country's first floating wind farm. The Provence Grand Large wind farm has a power capacity of twenty five megawatts. The farm features three floating wind turbines installed seventeen kilometers off the France's Mediterranean coast This is the first floating wind farm in France and across the entire Mediterranean basin. The project uses unique anchoring technology. Siemens Gamesa built the turbines. They're installed on floats with tight anchor lines. The technology was inspired by systems used to stabilize oil platforms. SBM Offshore and IFP Energies Nouvelles developed this technology. It's suitable for deep sea areas and provides excellent float stability. Bernard Fontana, Chairman and CEO of EDF, says the project helps diversify renewable energy sources. He calls it an important project for France's energy sovereignty. The experience will help with construction of EDF's second floating wind farm, Mediterranee Grand Large. EDF was awarded that contract in December twenty twenty four.

De Europese Ruimtevaartorganisatie (ESA) heeft maandag een satelliet gelanceerd die de staat van alle bossen op aarde moet meten. Biomass, zoals de satelliet heet, gaat bijvoorbeeld in kaart brengen welke rol bossen bij klimaatverandering spelen en hoeveel koolstofdioxide de regenwouden kunnen opvangen. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Om al dat meetwerk uit te voeren, maakt Biomass gebruik van een soort uitklapbaar zeil van 12 meter breed aan een arm van bijna 8 meter lang. Met het zeil kan Biomass de reflecties van bossen waarnemen en uitmeten hoe die door de tijd heen veranderd zijn. Hoewel Biomass maandag gelanceerd is, begint het echte werk nu pas. De satelliet moet namelijk nog naar de juiste plek gevlogen worden, wat enkele dagen in beslag gaat nemen.

I denne RumNyt sætter vi i vores hovedhistorie fokus på ESAs Biomass-mission, der snart skal sendes i kredsløb, og i de næste 5 år skal kortlægge og måle biomassen især i de store tropiske skove og jungler rundt om på kloden. Biomass er udstyret med en smart radar, der gør det muligt at skabe et detaljeret og dynamisk 3D-kort over bevoksningen på steder hvor man ellers aldrig ville kunne samle data. Missionen er i øvrigt en del af ESAs serie af store Earth Explorers missioner. I de korte rumnyheder skal vi som sædvanligt langt ud i hjørnerne. Vi fortæller blandt andet om en kommende supernova som ligger i vores kosmiske baghave, om udviklingen af ultrapræcise atomure og om hvordan vi stadig venter på de første observationer på ESOs ELT – Extremely Large Telescope. Endelig skal vi også kort vende den (ret spekulative) plan om at hente en af verdens første kunstige satellitter, Vanguard 1, der blev opsendt helt tilbage i 1958, men som nogen drømmer om at bringe tilbage til Jorden igen...

Rebuilding fisheries in Canada: Capelin biomass is only at 16% of its pre-collapse level, which spells disaster for northern cod's recovery. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, host Andrew Lewin breaks down the troubling state of Canada's east coast fisheries. With DFO ignoring science-based recommendations, capelin is being harvested despite dangerously low numbers—and the ripple effects are hurting northern cod and entire coastal ecosystems. Northern cod cannot recover without capelin, their primary prey, yet management plans still treat these species separately. Andrew explores the science behind this ecological link, why Oceana Canada is calling for an immediate pause on the capelin fishery, and how outdated management approaches are failing both fish and fishers. It's time for bold leadership, honest science communication, and smarter fisheries policy.

This week we break down Norway's proposed overhaul of its aquaculture licensing system—a seismic shift that could redefine global standards. From scrapping biomass-based licenses to introducing sea lice emission quotas and a mortality tax, the new framework flips traditional input-based regulation on its head. We walk through the 115-page white paper to unpack what this means for farms, investors, and suppliers alike—and why this policy could drive both innovation and industry shakeups.For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n' Bits blog.
“We've worked with partners like AcelorMittal… and oil and gas refineries. Emissions that would've been destined for the atmosphere are piped into our bioreactor and our magnificent microbes turn that gas into ethanol. When we pull out that ethanol, we can send it a lot of different places. You can go to On, Adidas, Athleta and buy products made by these mighty microbes from steel mill emissions. We actually flew a Virgin Atlantic flight from Orlando to London with 50 percent of the fuel in that plane made from our ethanol.” Zara Summers on Electric Ladies Podcast Addressing the climate crisis involves confronting some enormous challenges, from decarbonizing aviation to reducing fashion's carbon footprint. Fortunately, technology and innovation provide an opportunity to make significant strides forward. Meet LanzaTech, a company turning carbon dioxide into the raw materials and energy we need for our lives. Listen to Zara Summers, Chief Science Officer at LanzaTech, as she explains how the company is harnessing the power of nature's oldest metabolism, the mighty microbe. This innovation is turning greenhouse gases into everyday materials like shoes and clothing, sustainable aviation fuel for our jets, and even fish feed! You'll hear about: How LanzaTech transforms captured industrial emissions into valuable materials and fuels. The global brands working with LanzaTech (and how you can spot fabrics made from recycled emissions). How the technology is driving a circular economy in fashion and textiles. The uses of LanzaTech's protein-rich biomass in food and feed. Plus, advice on making a career transition. “Just jump in. Because even if it crashes and burns, it's experience and you learn no matter up and down inside it. But if you keep doing the same thing you've always done, you're robbing yourself of those opportunities. Even small risks – putting your hand up for a project where you might know 20 percent of what it takes to do it. Gosh, isn't that the best way to motivate yourself to learn something new?” Zara Summers on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

德國的高速公路居然沒有速限?~認識德國 傳統上德國人是日耳曼民族,雖曾給人有排外的刻板印象,但二次世界大戰後大量自南歐及土耳其引進外勞,至今他們的後代已有數百萬人是德國籍並融入德國社會,所以德國是個相當多元化的國家。德國是世界上的環保模範國,對土地永續經營的觀念深植民心。最明顯的感受是油價和電費都很貴、寶特瓶退瓶費極高,以及塑膠袋十分少見(在超市需付費購買,價格不便宜)等。垃圾分類更是徹底,住宅區隨處可見白、綠、棕玻璃瓶的大回收桶,在德國生活一定要嚴守規定,否則隨時準備挨老阿公老阿嬤一頓罵。 德國無石油資源,近幾十年來致力發展再生能源,舉凡太陽能、風力發電、地熱(Geothermal)、生質能(Biomass)等領域之技術開發與實際應用皆居世界領導地位。 ----- 主持人:小茱姐姐、顧芸曦 ----- #每周三推出酷客科學道館 #每周日新推出我的世界好朋友 #不用廣告,不用APP,更多優質兒童節目請上教育電台親子頻道 ----- Apple|Spotify|Google|KKBOX|Firstory|SoundOn 搜尋訂閱:打開小耳朵 -----
On this episode, Hydrocarbon Processing sat down with Ernie Miller, CEO, Verde Clean Fuels, to dive deep into the company's STG+ technology, which converts natural gas or biomass to gasoline.
Are you curious how the European Union's Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) might impact the global oil and gas industry? It will indirectly, thankfully, but in a specific instance and for a specific fuel type, very directly. The fuels industry is on a mad rush to decarbonize its fuel products, under pressure from regulators and customers both of whom are seeking fuels that produce far fewer damaging emissions. One way to decarbonize fuels is through the development and adoption of sustainable fuels that are produced by converting biomass (such as corn, sugar cane, soy, rapeseed, straw, wood chips) into ethanol, bio diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel. Bio fuels, the product of converting biomass to a fuel, is the fuels industry's answer to the circular economy. Biomass is basically a vector to recycle atmospheric CO2, by first converting C02 into plants (Nature's contribution), then turning the plants into bio fuel (a humankind speciality), and burning the biofuel as energy, releasing the CO2 back into the atmosphere where it then is converted back into a plant. Bio fuels, depending on their origins, fall into the category of derivative products for the purposes of the EUDR. A clever way to track and trace the provenance of a specific fuel product, including one that is blended, traded, and stored, is to accompany the product with a digital passport or record of the life of the bio fuel.

Returning to the podcast is Dr. Mark Holtzapple, a chemical engineering professor at Texas A&M University. He joins us today to discuss his latest research interests: biofuels and engine efficiency… With decades of experience in the field of chemical engineering, Dr. Holtzapple is always eager to push the boundaries of scientific exploration. Not only does he want to convert biomass into biofuel to increase sustainability, but he also wants to enhance the functionality of engines. How does he propose we do this? Tune in to see for yourself! In this episode, we discuss: How enzymes contribute to the creation of biofuel. The components of gasoline that limit its storability. What it would look like to grow crops for energy instead of food. Why prickly pear makes such a versatile crop. To discover more about Dr. Holtzapple and his fascinating research, click here now!
