Podcasts about Biomass

On Episode #175 of the PricePlow Podcast, we sit down with Juan Benítez-García, 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 Benítez-García: 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. ...

Am 29. April 2025 wurde der ESA-Satellit Biomass gestartet. Der Name deutet es schon an, es geht um Biomasse. Der Satellit untersucht die Wälder der Erde. Mit seiner aufwendigen Radaranlage kann er dabei durch das Blätterdach schauen und so zum Beispiel Baumstämme und Äste erfassen. Ich war bei der Startveranstaltung in Darmstadt dabei und konnte dort einige Interviews aufnehmen. Ich sprach mit Dr. Nicolaus Hanowski und Simon Plum von der ESA und mit Godela Roßner und Dr. Kostas Papathanassiou vom DLR.

Vários programas de Observação da Terra da Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA), que celebra 50 anos em 2025, contam com a colaboração de instituições brasileiras e a missão europeia Biomass, lançada no final de abril, é emblemática dessa parceira histórica entre a Europa e o Brasil no setor espacial.  Adriana Brandão, enviada especial da RFI a Kourou e a Belém* O inovador satélite Biomass de monitoramento de florestas tropicais foi colocado em órbita no dia 29 de abril, a bordo de um foguete europeu Vega C, lançado da Centro Espacial de Kourou, na Guiana Francesa. Seu objetivo é entender o ciclo do carbono, estocado ou emitido, assim como “as contribuições das florestas tropicais para as mudanças climáticas e as suas vulnerabilidades em relação a essas mudanças”, salienta o pesquisador do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) e coordenador do programa de Mudanças Climáticas FAPESP, Luis Aragão.  Essa missão cientifica europeia começou a ser imaginada há anos, lembrou a pesquisadora Selma Cherchali do Centro Nacional de Estudos Espaciais (CNES), que é a agência espacial francesa, durante o lançamento do Biomass. Segundo ela, havia muitos dados de campo sobre as florestas, mas coletados isoladamente, com metodologias variadas.  ”Questionamos como poderíamos comparar os dados espaciais do satélite com dados de campo que não fossem adquiridos da mesma forma em todo o planeta. Em 2010, organizamos um encontro internacional na França para discutir esse assunto. Foi o início do programa Geo-Trees. Todo esse trabalho foi realizado graças à preparação da missão de Biomass”, recorda Selma Cherchali.     O Geo-Trees é uma rede mundial de inventário de florestas que “coleta dados de campo de maneira duradoura” sobre a identificação de todas as espécies vegetais, o crescimento das árvores e a evolução do bioma, etc... Na Guiana Francesa, o sítio Paracou, a 50 quilômetros do Centro Espacial de Kourou, é esse laboratório tropical europeu.    Satélite Biomass  O Brasil, que possui a maior parte da Floresta Amazônica, integra a Geo-Trees. A participação do INPE na validação de dados foi fundamental para a preparação da missão cientifica Biomass do programa de Observação da Terra da Agência Espacial Europeia. O satélite inovador é equipado com uma antena sincronizada na Banda-P, que é uma frequência de ondas longas, capaz de penetrar as copas das árvores e estudar a composição das florestas até o solo.   “O satélite foi realmente concebido para conseguir detectar essas variações (na biomassa) em áreas com florestas muito densas que ocorrem na região tropical”, detalha Luis Aragão, que integra o conselho científico do Geo-Trees .   Para ele, a missão Biomass é simbólica dessa parceria entre o Brasil e a Agência Espacial Europeia. “É uma missão e uma parceria simbólica pelo fato de nós estarmos envolvidos desde o começo. Espero que essa parceria gere muito avanço no conhecimento científico que nós temos aqui no Brasil”, diz.  A criação, junto com os parceiros europeus, de cursos de formação e capacitação de novos cientistas nessa área é outra expectativa do pesquisador brasileiro. “Uma possibilidade para que a gente tenha uma força de trabalho no futuro capaz de de analisar esses dados de alta complexidade, visando que, não só o Brasil, mas a Europa, e o resto do mundo, encontrem soluções para a mitigação e a adaptação às mudanças climáticas”, espera.  Agregando dados  Os dados inéditos enviados pelo satélite Biomass sobre a saúde e a evolução das florestas tropicais e o ciclo do carbono serão colocados à disposição de todo o mundo, gratuitamente; a partir do segundo semestre de 2025. Eles vão se somar aos dados já recebidos de outros satélites de observação da Terra que ajudam o INPE a monitorar a Floresta Amazônica.       Alessandra Rodrigues Gomes é diretora da Coordenação Espacial da Amazônia (COEAM) do INPE, localizada em Belém, no Pará. No local, os computadores das equipes do COEAM recebem e analisam as imagens enviadas por satélites para medir e mapear o desmatamento das florestas tropicais.  “A gente costuma dizer que o INPE é um fazedor de dados, um fazedor de mapas. Nós geramos informação. Quanto mais informação você tem, mais fácil se torna tentar evitar com que esse desmatamento se consolide”, salienta a coordenadora. Uma vez constatada alguma alteração no bioma, o dado gerado é enviado para os setores responsáveis pela fiscalização.   “No caso do Brasil, o Ibama faz fiscalização, além de outros órgãos estaduais e municipais. Para o INPE, cabe gerar mais informação. Para as outras instituições, cabe evitar o desmatamento. É um trabalho em conjunto. Mas se não há na ponta a fiscalização, o monitoramento vai continuar existindo”, ressalta Alessandra Gomes.  Cooperação histórica   A cooperação do Brasil com a ESA começou em 1977, apenas dois anos depois da criação da agência europeia. No início, o acordo, assinado com a Agência Espacial Brasileira (AEB), abrangia apenas a utilização do Centro de Lançamento de Natal para o monitoramento de foguetes europeus lançados da Guiana Francesa. Mas a partir dos anos 1990 e o aprofundamento dos estudos sobre as mudanças climáticas, foi estendido para vários programas de Observação da Terra.   “Fizemos muitas campanhas de validação de dados sobre a cobertura florestal tropical, por exemplo, com o Brasil. Uma colaboração muito estreita com o INPE. Essa colaboração foi desenvolvida ao longo de 30, 40 anos, nas áreas de capacitação. Fizemos cursos de treinamento conjuntos sobre radar. Também recebemos na Agência Espacial Europeia profissionais brasileiros para estágios de especialização. E recentemente, temos colaborações mais focadas na calibração e validação de dados para lançamentos de novas missões”, elenca Simonetta Cheli, diretora do departamento de Observação da Terra da ESA.       Em 2002, um acordo de cooperação foi assinado entre a ESA e o Brasil com validade até 2025, mas um adendo acaba de pedir a sua extensão por mais 10 anos.  Parceria estratégica  Nesse momento de tensões geopolíticas internacionais, a parceria com a Europa no setor espacial é considerada estratégica por Luis Aragão.  “A Europa tem se destacado atualmente como um grande parceiro na área espacial, não só com o lançamento do Biomass, mas também com a sua constelação de satélites Sentinel, que já vem gerando dados de altíssima qualidade e onde o INPE também é um parceiro”, informa. O Brasil é o “hub de informações do Sentinel” e o INPE tem uma estrutura que distribui os dados dos satélites europeus não para o Brasil, como também para toda a América do Sul.   De acordo com Luis Aragão, “esses dados têm sido usados nas nossas pesquisas e nossos programas operacionais de monitoramento do desmatamento e degradação florestal. O Biomass irá agregar informação a todo esse arcabouço operacional sobre os impactos desses eventos nos ecossistemas naturais brasileiros e globais também”,  Dando visibilidade a essa parceria, a Agência Espacial Europeia deve participar junto com o INPE e a Agência Espacial Brasil de atividades na COP 30 do Clima que acontece em novembro, em Belém.     *A viagem foi realizada a convite da Agência Espacial Europeia

O Centro Espacial da Guiana Francesa (CSG) é a principal porta de acesso da Europa ao Espaço. Mas sozinha a base de lançamento de Kourou não pode garantir a segurança dos voos e precisa de estações de monitoramento de foguetes espaciais espalhadas pelos quatro campos do mundo, como o Centro de Lançamento da Barreira do Inferno, em Natal. O Brasil é um dos parceiros históricos da Agência Espacial Europeia, que está completando 50 anos.  Adriana Brandão, enviada especial da RFI a Kourou* De Kourou são lançados os foguetes europeus Ariane 6 e Vega C utilizados para colocar satélites em órbita ou para missões interplanetárias. Os lançamentos são preparados minunciosamente durante meses e até anos antes da data prevista. A segurança dos voos é de responsabilidade do CNES, a agência espacial francesa, proprietária do Centro Espacial da Guiana, que opera em parceria com a empresa Arianespace e a Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA). Jean-Frédéric Alasa, diretor de Operações do CNES, diz que essa é uma cooperação complementar e estreita que começa muito antes de um lançamento. "O diretor de Operações e o responsável de Missão da Arianespace são um binômio. A Arianespace gere o foguete e o diretor de operações a parte relacionada à base de lançamento e à segurança do voo", informa. Ele detalha que a proteção de bens e pessoas e do meio ambiente é uma das missões soberanas do CNES. "Isso significa que quando o foguete decolar, se ele não estiver na trajetória correta, atuaremos, mas nas condições climáticas ideais para evitar que, em caso de queda, os destroços não caiam em áreas habitadas, por exemplo", explica.  Monitoramento do voo No último dia 29 de maio, a RFI pôde acompanhar o lançamento de um foguete Vega C, que colocou com sucesso em órbita o satélite Biomass da Agência Espacial Europeia. Assim que o foguete deixa a base de lançamento, ele é monitorado durante toda a sua trajetória. Os satélites podem ser colocados em órbita polar, ou geoestacionária, na linha do Equador. Nos primeiros minutos do voo, o rastreio é feito pelas poderosas antenas parabólicas da estação de Galliot, na Guiana Francesa, que fica a poucos quilômetros da base de lançamento de Kourou. Localizada em uma montanha, o local é protegido, cercado de arame farpado e com entrada restrita para evitar qualquer falha ou vazamento no esquema de segurança dos voos. O brasileiro Cleberson Miranda trabalha na estação há mais de 20 anos. Ele nasceu na Guiana Francesa, mas é filho de brasileiros, e sonhava em integrar a equipe do Centro Espacial de Kourou desde criança. "Nosso trabalho tem que ir até o fim da missão, quer dizer, ou o foguete vai ser desaorbitado ou ele vai ser passivado para ficar em órbita, mas sem perigo", indica o responsável pelo Sistema de Telemetria do CNES. Base da Barreira do Inferno de Natal Em 10 minutos, os foguetes saem dos radares da estação de Galiot, que passa a contar com a ajuda de outras estações terrestres para monitorar os voos que duram em média duas horas. "Quando o voo é para o norte, a gente tem uma estação nas ilhas Bermudas, e quando é para o leste, a próxima estação é a de Natal. A gente tem um acordo com a Agência Espacial Brasileira, a AEB, e com o CLBI, que é o Centro de lançamento da Barreira do inferno". As bases de monitoramento terrestres espalhadas pelos quatro cantos do mundo, como a de Natal, passam a ser o “olho” do Centro Espacial da Guiana, que continua sendo o responsável pela segurança do voo. As antenas dessas bases recuperam a telemetria emitida pelo foguete e enviam para Kourou, que faz o tratamento dos dados. Essas parcerias são indispensáveis. "É essencial. Não podemos lançar sem essas colaborações aí pelo mundo. Depois que o foguete é lançado, temos de monitorá-lo até ele não ser mais um perigo. A autorização de voo só é dada se tiver os meios de monitorar isso durante todo esse tempo", salienta o brasileiro. Além de Natal, o centro espacial da Guiana conta, por exemplo, com a colaboração das bases de Malindi, no Quênia, que pertence à Agência Espacial Italiana, de Gatineau, da Agência Especial do Canadá, ou a New Norcia, localizada na Austrália e que pertence à Agência Espacial Europeia. Parceria histórica Mas a parceira com o Centro de Lançamento da Barreira do Inferno é a mais antiga. O Brasil participa do monitoramento dos foguetes lançados de Kourou desde o início e foi o segundo país a assinar um acordo com a Agência Espacial Europeia em 1977, depois da Índia. A cooperação para a instalação na base brasileira de uma estação de telemetria para o rastreio dos foguetes europeus foi assinada somente dois anos depois da criação da ESA, em 1975. A Barreira do Inferno é o primeiro centro de lançamento de foguetes da América do Sul. Localizada no município de Parnamirim, a cerca de 12 km de Natal, a base da Força Aérea Brasileira foi fundada em 1965, com o objetivo de contribuir para o avanço de tecnologias espaciais brasileiras. O coronel aviador Christiano Haag, diretor do CLBI, ressalta que essa parceria com a ESA também é "muito importante" para o Brasil. "A Agência Espacial Europeia é responsável pela instalação e manutenção dos equipamentos e, mais importante, pela atualização da nossa estação. É ainda disponibilizado um treinamento para os recursos humanos e existe um pagamento financeiro que entra com os cofres públicos", informa o coronel. Fabrizio Fabiani, diretor do programa Vega na Arianespace, lembra que a base de Natal é usada quase sempre nas "missões geoestacionárias" e que essa "parceria histórica com o Brasil é muito importante e robusta". Uma parceria de "sucesso e estratégica" para o desenvolvimento do programa espacial das duas agências, ressalta o coronel Christiano Haag, garantindo que "até hoje nós tivemos 100% de sucesso no rastreio dos foguetes lançados a partir de Kourou". Cleberson Miranda recorda que "a parceria com Natal existe desde o primeiro lançamento de Kourou" e espera que ela "ainda vá continuar um bom tempo". *A viagem foi realizada a convite da Agência Espacial Europeia

O Centro Espacial da Guiana (CSG) é considerado estratégico para a Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA), que está completando 50 anos em 2025. A RFI visitou no final de maio a base de lançamento de foguetes instalada na cidade de Kourou, entre a floresta Amazônica e o oceano Atlântico, e pôde assistir ao lançamento do foguete Vega C. Adriana Brandão, enviada especial da RFI a Kourou* A base de Kourou é a principal porta de acesso da Europa ao espaço. Ela foi construída nos anos 1960 pela França em seu território na América do Sul, vizinho do estado brasileiro do Amapá. Desde meados dos anos 1970, com a criação da Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA), a base é operada conjuntamente pelos europeus, pela CNES, que é a agência espacial francesa, e pela empresa Arianespace. De Kourou são lançados atualmente os foguetes europeus Ariane e Vega utilizados para colocar satélites em órbita ou para missões interplanetárias. A base é fundamental para a autonomia e a soberania do programa espacial europeu. A franco-brasileira Renata Bragança é guia turística no Centro Espacial da Guiana, também chamado de Porto Espacial da Europa, há oito anos. Segundo ela, o CSG é muito mais importante para a Europa do que para o território francês. O centro "permite que a Europa seja independente na indústria espacial. Sabendo que tem mais ou menos 15 bases no mundo todo, o importante mesmo é ter esse acesso independente ao espaço para a França e para a Europa. Aqui, ela [a base] só representa 12% do Produto Interno Bruto da Guiana", informa. Cada novo lançamento reforça autonomia espacial europeia Em 2025, já foram feitos com sucesso três lançamentos do Centro Espacial da Guiana. Mais cinco estão previstos até o final do ano, reforçando a independência da Europa de infraestruturas e políticas dos Estados Unidos, da Rússia ou da China. No final de maio, durante o lançamento do foguete Vega C, que colocou em órbita o inovador satélite europeu Biomass para monitorar florestas tropicais, a RFI conversou com o presidente-executivo da Arianespace, David Cavaillolès. Ele salientou que a empresa Arianespace defende há décadas a autonomia espacial europeia. "Cada lançamento bem-sucedido reforça a autonomia de acesso da Europa ao espaço", enfatiza. Ao comentar as tensões geopolíticas atuais e a nova política espacial americana, por exemplo, David Cavaillolès disse que esse contexto reafirma a posição europeia. "A evolução geopolítica atual confirma nossa posição e mostra que precisamos, em nível europeu, ter uma resposta forte, porque é realmente no nível dos continentes que essas questões estão em jogo. Penso que, com Ariane e Vega, damos essa resposta", acredita. Satélites comerciais, governamentais e científicos Os foguetes lançados da base de Kourou colocam em órbita satélites de comunicação, de observação da Terra, meteorológicos e de navegação para clientes comerciais, como Amazon, governos e instituições científicas. Além dos satélites, Ariane também é capaz de realizar missões científicas interplanetárias, como o telescópio James Webb, lançado em 2021. A grande maioria dos satélites e missões da Agência Espacial Europeia é lançada da base guianense. Nesses 50 anos, a ESA desenvolveu programas como o Galileo, que é o GPS europeu, ou o Copernicus – um sistema de observação da terra para apoiar estudos ambientais e climáticos. "Nossos programas podem melhorar as estatísticas agrícolas, a compreensão e os riscos de catástrofes, o fluxo de migrantes e muitas outras aplicações ligadas à utilização do espacial", aponta Simonetta Cheli, diretora dos Programas de Observação da Terra da ESA. O setor espacial está entre os dez considerados estratégicos para a Europa, segundo o relatório de competitividade elaborado pelo ex-primeiro-ministro italiano Mario Draghi. Nesse contexto, a agência espacial europeia desempenha um papel fundamental. “O trabalho realizado é uma grande conquista para todos – cientistas, instituições, indústrias – mas especialmente para os países membros da ESA, que este ano comemora seus 50 anos”, avalia Simonetta Cheli. Localização privilegiada De acordo com a diretora do Departamento de Observação da Terra, “todos os 23 países europeus que compõem a agência contribuem, neste momento, para esse acesso estratégico ao espaço, que deve ser preservado no futuro para garantir uma verdadeira autonomia da Europa nesses setores”. A localização do CSG, próxima ao Equador, é privilegiada, pois permite a redução de custos e maior eficiência nos lançamentos. Quanto mais próximo do Equador, menor o consumo de combustível necessário para colocar satélites em órbita. “É importante usarmos o mínimo possível de combustível, especialmente agora que buscamos levar combustível a bordo de missões futuras para tentar aumentar a vida útil dos satélites e evitar sobrecarregar as órbitas”, ressalta a diretora da ESA. Isso permitiria reduzir o lixo espacial, que atualmente é um dos grandes desafios do setor. Estar em território francês também é uma vantagem “em termos de segurança”, aponta Simonetta Cheli. Kourou também está localizada em uma região livre de terremotos e furacões. Atração turística Além de representar uma porta de acesso da Europa ao espaço, o Centro Espacial da Guiana é uma atração turística popular. A base recebe cerca de 20 mil turistas por ano. As instalações de alta tecnologia, com suas bases de lançamento, centro de controle, locais para a montagem de foguetes e preparação de satélites, são o "segundo local mais visitado da Guiana Francesa, depois das ilhas que receberam presidiários entre os anos 1880 até 1950", informa a guia Renata Bragança.  A base recebe tanto turistas locais, franceses e estrangeiros, quanto clientes interessados em contratar o serviço europeu para o envio de satélites. A maioria dos visitantes não consegue assistir a um lançamento, que ocorre poucas vezes por ano. "Eles ficam só um pouco tristes por não poderem ver um verdadeiro foguete, só um modelo que não é lançado. Mas ficam muito felizes em poder ver como se prepara um lançamento", relata Renata. *Viagem realizada a convite da Agência Espacial Europeia

Tara Thompson is a communications specialist working with world-leading Earth Observation scientists, ensuring expert facts are at the forefront of the climate conversation in policy making and within the media. In this episode Tara tells us about a recently launched Biomass satellite fondly called ‘Space Brolly' because of its incredible 12 metre long antenna. Tara tells us about how this is the first time precision data will be collected for global forests, with the Biomass satellite making continuous passes of the Earth's lungs. Biomass is capable of seeing through the trees canopies, using advanced P-band radar technology. This technology can be used to measure the structure and carbon content of forests providing an understanding like never before on how much carbon is sequestered by forests. This data will be vital in informing better climate policies and how do we best protect the world's forests. Tara is optimistic about the future of climate change and how all climate science is helping to shape a better world. In our ‘get to know me round' we learn Tara's favourite season as well as reflecting back on a childhood in the west of Ireland, where her first spark of joy for the weather was born.

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.

I denne RumNyt kommer vi igen vidt omkring. Vi følger op på både SpinLaunch og Biomass, hører om mærkelige exoplaneter om brune dværgstjerne, rumfartøjer der skal transportere ting ned fra kredsløb, og vender også kort balladen om molekylerne på K2-18b, der måske og måske ikke er tegn på liv. I vores hovedhistorie sætter vi fokus på rumstationer og fremtiden for mere eller mindre permamente ophold i kredsløb om Jorden. Vi er blandt andet blevet inspireret af besætningsskiftet på den kinesiske Tiangong-rumstation for nylig, men ser også på status for ISS og på nogle af de kommercielle projekter, der er under udvikling.

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. Verder in deze Tech Update: Het marktaandeel van Google Search komt voor het eerst sinds er gemeten wordt onder de 90 procent uit in Europa Amerikaanse klanten van Amazon krijgen binnenkort twee prijzen te zijn: de prijs inclusief en de prijs exclusief importheffingen See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!
