On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by Dr. Michael Dienberg and Bethany Dienberg for a Dental Success Network webinar on integrating frenectomies into the general dental practice. Dr. Dienberg shares how tongue and lip ties often go undiagnosed in dentistry, despite their connection to breastfeeding challenges, speech concerns, orthodontic relapse, airway issues, tension, migraines, sleep concerns, and oral dysfunction across patients of all ages. Together, Michael and Bethany explain the difference between frenectomies, frenotomies, and frenuloplasties, how CO2 laser releases compare with traditional techniques, and why coordinated care with lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, myofunctional therapists, pediatric providers, and bodywork professionals can help create better outcomes. They also discuss practical implementation, including consult flow, post-op care, medical and dental billing considerations, referral networks, patient education, and how general dentists can begin identifying tongue and lip ties already present in their existing patient base.

Deep sedation often leaves anesthesia providers working in the space between simple oxygen delivery and a fully advanced airway. That gap can mean poor capnography, inefficient oxygen delivery, frequent airway maneuvers, and plenty of improvised solutions. In this episode, the show's first anesthesiologist, Dr. Rene Gonzalez, joins Sharon and Jeremy to discuss the Aeris Airway, the study behind it, and how purpose-built airway tools could help providers take a more proactive approach to patient support. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:
Beer, dry ice, and concrete all have one thing in common... they require CO2. Between demand for CO2 rising, and new gas plants taking a billion dollars to build, shortages are becoming more common. So Sonny built a modular plant the size of a fridge, making it cheaper and easier for companies to control their own supply. Will the VCs buy that a box this small can crack a problem this big?

A Futuristic Litter Box, & Is My Line Size Too Small, Or Do I Have Too Much Load ?? Episode 534KE2 Chaos, Glycol Lockouts, and Coolselector Pipe Sizing (Plus the Fancy Litter Box Debate)Brett Wetzel and Kevin Compass open the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast joking about an “automatic litter box” before jumping into a hectic week of glycol case startups and ongoing frustration with KE2 controllers reverting settings, freezing in defrost, and causing temperature control issues even after firmware updates that wipe settings. They discuss glycol skids hard-locking out from small pressure losses and the need to overcharge to prevent random shutdowns, then shift into a practical walkthrough of Danfoss Coolselector for transcritical CO2 piping and electronic expansion valve sizing. Using examples, they show how capacity, line length, pressure drop, and velocity change with pipe size, why winter load matters for oil return, and how oversized or over-open valves can drive excessive mass flow and pressure drop; they also cover limiting max valve opening percentage and briefly reference AKV pulse valve duty cycle behavior.

Vous aimez notre émission ? Soutenez-la ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 19 janvier 2024.Avec cette semaine :Quentin Sannié, entrepreneur et fondateur de l'agence de notation des sols Genesis.David Djaïz, entrepreneur, essayiste et ancien secrétaire général du Conseil National de la Refondation.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.AGRICULTURE ET ENVIRONNEMENTQuentin Sannié, vous êtes entrepreneur et chef d'entreprise. Après avoir co-fondé et dirigé le leader mondial du son haut de gamme, Devialet, vous vous êtes lancé dans une nouvelle aventure entrepreneuriale en 2018, avec la création de Genesis– la première agence de notation des terres agricoles.Votre start-up innovante est née du constat suivant : il subsiste une lacune significative dans la mesure de l'impact environnemental des pratiques agricoles et les acteurs du secteur demeurent souvent aveugles aux conséquences sur l'environnement de leurs décisions. D'où votre idée de noter la santé des sols pour mieux corriger les techniques de ceux qui les travaillent. Selon vous, « En collectant des pratiques et en établissant des corrélations scientifiques entre les techniques agricoles, le climat et la santé des sols, on peut voir quels leviers d'action ont un vrai impact positif ».Aujourd'hui, 60 à 70 % de nos sols en Europe sont abîmés ou très abîmés, estime l'Union Européenne. Leur bonne santé est pourtant décisive pour la fertilité, la productivité agricole, le stockage du CO2, la rétention et la filtration de l'eau. « Nous devons soulever le capot de nos sols et des pratiques agricoles liées, pour comprendre comment les faire évoluer durablement vers des modes régénératifs », écrivez-vous. Cette absence de mesure risque de mettre en péril notre souveraineté alimentaire. Les pratiques régénératrices doivent, en effet, être déclinées selon les types de cultures, de productions, de sols et de climats.Cette lacune ne concerne pas seulement l'évaluation ; le sol est en effet le grand absent de la politique environnementale alors qu'il pour vous le véritable éléphant dans la pièce en matière d'environnement. L'exploitation des sols représente 20 à 25 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre ; ils sont à la source de notre alimentation, renferment 1/4 de la biodiversité mondiale, et, en stockant plus de carbone que les forêts, constituent un enjeu essentiel de la lutte contre le changement climatique. Pourtant le sol demeure le seul milieu naturel à ne pas être couvert par une politique nationale dédiée à sa protection.Les multiples alertes que vous avez lancées avec la communauté scientifique semblent néanmoins être arrivées jusqu'aux oreilles des parlementaires. Menée par le député (Modem) du Loiret Richard Ramos, une proposition de loi visant « à instaurer un diagnostic de la santé des sols, des terrains agricoles, naturels et forestiers » a été déposée à l'Assemblée Nationale le 12 octobre 2023. De même, quelques jours plus tard, une proposition de loi visant à « préserver des sols vivants » a été déposée par la sénatrice PS Nicole Bonnefoy. L'objectif est d'apporter une réponse globale avec la création d'une stratégie nationale pour la protection et la résilience des sols, sous la houlette d'un haut-commissaire dédié.Mais avant de nous pencher sur l'articulation des sols avec l'agriculture et la transition écologique, racontez-nous comment votre projet est né.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

C'est un fait, comme toute activité très coûteuse, le cinéma pollue. En 2006, le journal The Guardian a révélé que l'industrie Hollywoodienne polluait plus l'air de Los Angeles que n'importe quel autre secteur : devant l'industrie vestimentaire ou hôtelière, excepté le secteur pétrolier qui reste le plus émetteur. Le cinéma hollywoodien est donc à l'origine de plus de 140 000 tonnes d'émissions carbone par an, selon l'étude mentionnée dans l'article. D'après un autre article de France Info de mai 2023, un film français émet 750 tonnes de CO2, soit 750 allers-retours entre Paris et New York en avion. Quels tournages ont eu une empreinte carbone scandaleuse ? L'impact écologique est-il essentiellement dû aux décors ? Le secteur est-il en train d'évoluer ?

The conversation around climate change is often bleak and terrifying, but it doesn't have to be that way, says climate behavior scientist Jiaying Zhao, or JZ. In this episode, JZ and happiness researcher Elizabeth Dunn join Chris to discuss why we need to account for happiness in climate solutions. JZ and Elizabeth argue since happiness is contagious, making happiness-driven decisions go further in influencing behavioral change than fear-based tactics. They also talk about an anesthetic gas that releases more carbon than CO2 and why you should google if your bank is investing money in fossil fuels.Featured guestFollow JZ on X, LinkedIn, and at psych.ubc.ca/profile/jiaying-zhao/Follow Elizabeth Dunn at https://dunn.psych.ubc.ca/Learn more at https://happyclimate.org/Buy Leave the Light OnConnect with the teamFollow Chris on Instagram and at chrisduffycomedy.comBuy Chris' book, Humor Me Watch How to Be a Better Human videos on YouTube at TEDPodsFollow TED on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTokFor the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscriptsFill out our survey at bit.ly/BHSurvey6 Hosted on Acast.

We Tried Talking About Subcoolers, And Nozzles, Vermont Is Beautiful Episode 533Storms, CO2 Chaos & Subcooler Shenanigans | Advanced Refrigeration PodcastHosts Brett Wetzel and Kevin Compass open the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast with stories from a week derailed by severe storms, power outages, and traffic caused by downed lines. Brett describes a startup nightmare at a new CO2 store: a Danfoss controller pressure-reading issue drives a rack into high-head cycling, a backup condensing unit is disabled by a tripped breaker traced to an earwig in a contactor, and the site loses charge and power while relief-valve issues persist and generator startup is delayed. They then discuss building a transcritical water-cooled condenser skid for a high-rise and criticize building condenser-water BTU billing in winter when grocery racks effectively replace boilers. The conversation shifts to basic refrigeration, focusing on mechanical subcooling benefits, TXV sizing realities, nozzle color codes, and common control mistakes involving sensors, gauge vs absolute settings, wiring errors, and strategies to prevent floodback.

Der Klimawandel ist längst spürbar - doch was können wir wirklich tun? In dieser Weekend-Ausgabe reist Simon Strauß nach Lindau, wo sich Nobelpreisträger und junge Forscherinnen treffen, und spricht über Wege aus der Klimakrise: von der Spaltung von CO2 bis zur Frage, ob Politik und Technik allein uns retten können. Ein tiefgehendes Gespräch über Energie, Verantwortung und die große Frage, wie wir uns vor unserem eigenen Planeten schützen.
Andrew Sabatine of Around the Horn (Groveland, CA) may have learned much of his trade at breweries on the hazier and more fruit-driven side of the brewing equation, but serving a small mountain town with a huge tourist population means making all the beers that people might want to enjoy. Lagers play an ever-growing role in that product mix, but Sabatine doesn't fully throw out the rulebook when crafting hop-driven lager, preferring to add Noble hops through hot side additions while pushing more pungent aromatic hops in the dry hop, even in more modern hop-driven styles like West Coast Pils. In this episode, Sabatine discusses his approach to West Coast Pils and West Coast IPA, along with experimental projects like West Coast Red Pilsner. Along the way, he discusses: finding ways to build character despite only being capable of single infusion mashes blending pils malts to tweak lager body first wort hopping with larger volumes of lower IBU Noble hops for more integrated bitterness cementing modern pils styles like West Coast and New Zealand pils with Noble hops hot side brewing West Coast Red Pilsner with Columbus cryo first wort, Hallertau Mittlefruh hot side, and New Zealand hops on the cold side fermenting colder to control ester production in West Coast IPA And more. G&D Chillers G&D's new Elite 290 Micro-series runs on a natural refrigerant with near-zero global warming potential (GWP)—built for brewers who care about sustainability and performance.

Berkeley Yeast At the World Beer Cup this year: Gold for West Coast IPA; Gold for Session IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for New Zealand IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for Classic IPA. All these beers were fermented with one yeast: FRESH™ Chico, Berkeley's low-diacetyl ale yeast. There's something you need to know: Diacetyl is not just a pass or a fail. Yes, at high levels, it's tragically bad. But even at low levels, it masks the good flavors. So if you want hop notes to pop, you need diacetyl to be ultra-low. These brewers trust Berkeley Yeast for an ultra-clean fermentation because on the finals table, every little detail matters. And now FRESH™ Chico is available in dried bricks for as low as $88 at berkeleyyeast.com. PakTech This episode is sponsored by PakTech—delivering craft-beer multipacking you can trust.

El programa aborda la grave situación de los incendios forestales en España. En Niebla (Huelva), 30.000 hectáreas arden y 700 vecinos están evacuados. En Huesca, el fuego en Peñas de Riglos calcina 8.000 hectáreas, evacuando a casi 900 personas y amenazando el Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña. A nivel nacional, más de 226.000 hectáreas se queman este año, un 38% más. Expertos critican la gestión forestal, que invierte más en apagar que en prevenir, y proponen proteger pueblos con anillos de seguridad y gestionar un millón de hectáreas anuales. Solucionar los incendios es crucial contra la crisis climática por las millones de toneladas de CO2 que liberan. En economía, el IPC de julio alcanza el 3,6%, el más alto en dos años, impulsado por la energía. La subida del gasóleo (15,7%) activa una rebaja fiscal de 20 céntimos/litro en septiembre, impactando en el transporte y el poder adquisitivo familiar.

The Science of Global Warming: And Four Ways to Fix It by Dr David Edward Comings M.D. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1878267043 This well-illustrated and easy-to-read book emphasizes that, instead of being a hoax, climate change and global warming are very real and getting progressively worse, and without any mitigating efforts, will be a serious threat to the lives of our children and grandchildren. In addition to presenting the scientific evidence, it outlines four powerful approaches to combating global warming. One innovative approach suggests a way in which fossil fuel companies can profitably participate in the solution and a method by which individual citizens can help to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. The purposes of the book are listed on the back cover and include trying to convince the Trump administration that their policy of total denial of the reality of global warming is disastrous both for the U.S. and the world.

Send us Fan Mail One phone call can redraw your entire relationship with health. When Stephan Alheim lost his father to a sudden heart attack, he stopped thinking like a coach chasing fitness goals and started thinking like a son asking a brutal question: what am I doing today to avoid leaving the people I love too soon? That turning point shaped TA4 Fitness and a clear philosophy we unpack together: stop reacting to your health and start investing in it before urgency decides for you. We dig into why so many busy adults and high performers get stuck in perfectionism, believing workouts must be long, intense, and flawless to “count.” Stephan explains how the real breakthrough is consistency and momentum: don't put up a zero for the day. From there, we get practical about assessments that actually guide training, including movement screening to expose mobility restrictions, compensations, balance gaps, and strength baselines so progress isn't measured only by the mirror or the scale. If you're over 40, we talk about what changes in the body and why early intervention has outsized payoff for longevity and healthspan. Stephan breaks down the TA4 system strength, mobility, breathwork, and nutrition plus supportive concepts like zone 2 cardio for heart health. We also go deep on breathing as a trainable skill, including nasal breathing, CO2 tolerance, calmer workouts, and the surprising ways breath can affect energy and stress.

Danke, CO₂! – Was Bäume über unser Klima erzählen Erfasst, besteuert, verteufelt: Kohlendioxid ist in Deutschland zum Maßstab nahezu aller Lebensbereiche geworden. Doch wer vor einer 200 Jahre alten Eiche steht, blickt auf rund fünf Tonnen Kohlenstoff, die nicht aus dem Boden stammen, sondern direkt aus der Luft. CO₂ ist der unverzichtbare Baustein alles Grünen. In dieser besonderen Sonntagsausgabe des TE Weckers geht Holger Douglas der Naturgeschichte des Baumes auf den Grund. Zusammen mit dem Dendrochronologen Burghart Schmidt (ehem. Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Universität Köln) zeigt er, wie aus CO₂ und Sonnenlicht Jahrringe entstehen und wie diese als lückenlose Archive über das Wetter und Klima vergangener Jahrtausende berichten. Das Buch „3000 Jahre Klima-Achterbahn. CO2 ist nur ein Sündenbock“ erhalten Sie im TE – Buchshop: https://live.tichyseinblick.shop/produkt/schmidt-douglas-3000-jahre-klima-achterbahn-co2-ist-nur-ein-suendenbock/ Jörg Schäfer, Gründer der TREECYCLE AG, Tochterunternehmen der Global TREE Project AG, erklärt im Gespräch mit Roland Tichy, warum er bewusst auf ein rein kommerzielles Business-Modell statt auf Charity setzt. Für ihn ist klar: Nur profitable Unternehmungen können den Regenwald nachhaltig schützen. Denn die weltweite Abholzung der Urwälder verknappt den Rohstoff Holz massiv und macht eine weitere Entwaldung attraktiv. Besser sei sein Modell: Mit schnellwachsenden Eucalyptusplantagen der Entwaldung vorbeugen.

Over the past 30 years, the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub has earned an impressive 18 Great American Beer Festival and eight World Beer Cup medals. Mostly recently, there have been back-to-back GABF golds in festbier and a 2024 silver in helles, plus a score of 99 for that same helles from our blind panel at Craft Beer & Brewing—so, they're showing no sign of letting up. Brewing lager on a 10-barrel pub system with no mash rakes and a host of other challenges is a physical endeavor that requires intention and precision. But they've made thoughtful process and ingredient choices to overcome limitations around decoction and step-mashing. In this episode, owner Todd Malloy and head brewer Robin Reed share their technical approach to distinctive festbier and helles. Along the way, they discuss: brewing lager with an open-top, manual mash tun adjusting malts to replace character that might otherwise be created through decoction step-mashing by starting thick and adding water for each temperature raise targeting higher pH to facilitate Maillard reactions acidifying with sour wort using a diacetyl-free Andechs strain balancing festbier with higher final gravity and higher IBUs, plus a small whirlpool hop addition targeting proper hop intensity for competition beers filtration and its function in building flavor clarity and contrast And more. This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers G&D's new Elite 290 Micro-series runs on a natural refrigerant with near-zero global warming potential (GWP)—built for brewers who care about sustainability and performance. We recently built one for New Belgium Brewing, delivering around 50 percent energy savings over CO2 systems and 9 percent more efficiency than A2Ls.

Berkeley Yeast At the World Beer Cup this year: Gold for West Coast IPA; Gold for Session IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for New Zealand IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for Classic IPA. All these beers were fermented with one yeast: FRESH™ Chico, Berkeley's low-diacetyl ale yeast. There's something you need to know: Diacetyl is not just a pass or a fail. Yes, at high levels, it's tragically bad. But even at low levels, it masks the good flavors. So if you want hop notes to pop, you need diacetyl to be ultra-low. These brewers trust Berkeley Yeast for an ultra-clean fermentation because on the finals table, every little detail matters. And now FRESH™ Chico is available in dried bricks for as low as $88 at berkeleyyeast.com. PakTech This episode is sponsored by PakTech—delivering craft-beer multipacking you can trust.

Thomas Kurz discusses chapters from his book Why There Is No Climate Crisis, citing positive reviews, then explains the greenhouse effect and argues CO2's warming is limited and logarithmic. He claims doubling CO2 yields about 3 W/m² effective forcing, or ~0.9°C via Stefan–Boltzmann calculations, and says even burning all known fossil fuel reserves would add under ~1°C. He argues “climate crisis” claims rely on compounded positive feedbacks in IPCC models, but says observations show models overpredict warming, relative humidity aloft is declining, and a predicted tropical hotspot is missing. He attributes discrepancies to cloud/aerosol cooling, proposing an Earth “thermostat” and net slightly negative feedback.00:00 Guest and Book Update02:31 Greenhouse Effect Basics04:53 CO2 Absorption and Saturation07:38 Four Ways to Calculate Forcing17:11 Convert Forcing to Temperature21:19 Logarithmic Warming Limits24:20 Fossil Fuels and Max Warming28:13 Feedbacks Behind the Crisis32:55 Models vs Observations41:30 Clouds and Cooling Evidence55:51 Earth Thermostat Conclusion57:52 Q&A and Scientific Method01:01:33 Wrap Up and Farewell“Why There is No Climate Crisis: The Surprising Evidence You Should Know”: https://a.co/d/05rKxsYUhttps://www.whynoclimatecrisis.com/Email: info@WhyNoClimateCrisis.com=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Direct air capture technology has the potential to meaningfully reduce atmospheric CO2, but high costs and energy demands have kept it from scaling. In this episode, Cory Sanderson, founder and CEO of Sustaera, explains how his Durham-based climate tech company is taking a fundamentally different approach. Sustaera's conductive structured sorbent technology uses resistive electrical heating instead of thermal regeneration, making it three to four times more energy-efficient than competing direct air capture systems and far simpler to deploy at scale. Cory also gets into the realities of building a climate tech hardware company in the current funding environment, why patient capital and mission-aligned investors matter more than traditional VC timelines, and how the Research Triangle ecosystem has been a genuine asset on the fundraising trail. Attorney Josh Hayes of Hutchison PLLC joins the conversation to add perspective on the unique legal and structural challenges facing clean tech founders. Hosted by Trevor Schmidt.

The Global Transition As the global transition to clean energy accelerates, scaling solar infrastructure has emerged as one of the most critical pathways to achieving a net-zero future. However, this rapid buildout could bring an increasingly large amount of waste as solar panels reach their end of life. To avoid this, recycling offers a dual climate solution: it significantly reduces the greenhouse gas emissions associated with primary mining and provides a supply of pre-refined, low-carbon materials that can be used to make new panels. The Role of Solar Panels Transitioning away from fossil fuels and achieving net-zero carbon emissions at a global scale requires rapid deployment of renewable technologies. For solar energy specifically, the amount of solar infrastructure needed on Earth to meet climate goals is about 16 times what has already been built. This buildout demands large quantities of raw materials, including glass, silica sand, silver, copper, and aluminum. While these resources are traditionally mined from the Earth, they can also be recovered directly from solar panels once they reach their end-of-life. Extracting and processing raw materials for solar panels through primary mining is resource-intensive, and recycling those materials significantly reduces the panels' manufacturing emissions. Similarly, integrating recycled solar glass cullet into manufacturing lowers furnace operating temperatures, cutting energy consumption by 2.5% to 3% for every 10% of cullet added and reducing the overall energy and emissions needed to produce new glass. If solar panels are taken to traditional e-waste recycling facilities, these sites typically rely on bulk shredding, a process that destroys material purity and scatters valuable metals. In contrast, the solar recycling process from SOLARCYCLE uses a step-by-step “reverse manufacturing” sequence in which the company strips away the junction box, removes the aluminum frame, and isolates the specialized glass to recover up to 97% of a panel's material value. Furthermore, because solar manufacturing has evolved to generate more energy using fewer materials, the elements recovered from decommissioned panels can be the basis to build newer, higher-efficiency arrays that generate even more clean power. The Impact on Energy and Raw Materials Solar panel recycling requires dramatically less energy input, potentially avoiding up to 95% of the CO2 emissions and 95% of the energy needed to mine and process raw aluminum for new solar panels. What's more, this technology can recover up to 99% or more of key materials like glass and metals. Likewise, because this solution recovers critical resources like silver and copper from existing infrastructure, the technology can be used to mine materials from what has already been produced and collected rather than extracting new minerals from the Earth. This means the technology has the potential to eliminate up to 25% of manufacturing emissions for specialized solar glass, while diverting toxic chemicals like lead and cadmium away from landfills to protect environmental and human health. Challenges: Recyclability and Economics Currently, panels have not been designed for recyclability, making the process of separating their tightly sealed layers a technical challenge. Because solar manufacturers operate on very thin or negative profit margins, they have rarely prioritized design-for-recyclability features, leaving decades of panels that will need specialized, intensive processing when they decommission. Scaling this technology also presents operational challenges because, while recycling thousands of panels is manageable, processing the millions of units at scale will require tooling that a supporting industry cannot yet provide. Solar panel recycling currently struggles to compete economically with traditional waste disposal depending on local geography. In countries like the United States, landfill remains the cheaper option, creating a financial gap that can deter asset owners from recycling the panels. Moreover, the process cannot yet achieve a fully circular loop for all components. Certain materials, like thermoset plastics, are unrecyclable and must be diverted to waste-to-energy processes. Finally, the industry faces regulatory risks from “sham recycling”, where bad actors take upfront payments but fail to manage the materials properly, creating an environmental hazard by exposing toxic lead or cadmium to the soil. The Guest's Take Pablo Dias sees solar panel recycling as an essential part of the energy transition. For him, this process closes the loop on a true circular economy by allowing discarded panels to be mined for valuable resources like aluminum, silver, and copper instead of extracting raw materials from the Earth. This is part of a broader vision for a waste-free solar industry, turning end-of-life solar panels into a tool to drastically reduce the industry's emissions and eliminate the environmental and social risks of heavy metal leaching. About the Guest Dr. Pablo Dias is the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of SOLARCYCLE, a recycling platform designed to build a circular economy for the solar industry.

What if the solution to the alleged climate change was hiding in plain sight—literally in the smokestacks of power plants, factories, and boilers around the world? On this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Podcast, host Stu Turley sits down with Natan Shahar, founder of Standard Carbon, to explore a breakthrough technology that's turning CO2 emissions into pipeline-grade natural gas. Drawing inspiration from Mars mission architecture and driven by New York City's aggressive climate regulations,Standard Carbon has cracked the code on making clean energy economically viable—not through subsidies or carbon credits, but through clever energy arbitrage. With commercial systems already operating in Manhattan and Israel, and a growing pipeline of contracts from Europe to Pakistan, Shahar reveals why this technology could be the missing piece in the global energy puzzle, solving not just climate concerns, but the energy security crisis facing nations worldwide.For Blue States and Countries following Net Zero policies, this podcast is critical. Consumers and constituents want low-cost energy with the least impact on the environment. Couple that with wind and solar needing dispatchable power to fill in when the wind does not blow, or the sun does not shine. Producing natural gas out of CO2 that is burning from coal, or other industrial processes, is a real win for everyone. For countries that still have coal plants, this would be a much more cost-effective way to bring them into the Net Zero world rather than just shutting them down.1. Standard Carbon's Core TechnologyThe company produces pipeline-grade natural gas (methane) from CO2 emissions captured from combustion sources like power plants, boilers, cement factories, and refineries. They capture CO2 from smokestacks and convert it into usable natural gas through a process combining three established technologies: amine-based carbon capture, low-pressure alkaline electrolysis, and 19th-century Sabatier methanation chemistry.2. Operational Readiness & DeploymentStandard Carbon has deployed two commercial-scale systems—one in Israel (2023) and one in New York City (2025). The NYC system is publicly accessible in Manhattan and operated by the Grove School of Engineering at City College, providing transparent, third-party verification of the technology's effectiveness.3. Market Economics & Competitive AdvantagesThe business model focuses on three key factors:Cost of intermittent power: Using cheap, off-peak electricity (often negatively priced wind/solar power at night)Fossil fuel pricing: Competing against natural gas and LNG prices in different marketsRegulatory incentives: Carbon pricing and decarbonization mandatesThe company can produce gas competitively in markets like Europe and New York City, where LNG and fossil fuel prices are high.4. Geographic Market OpportunitiesPrime markets include:New York City: Most aggressive climate regulations globally (3x higher carbon price than EU)Europe & UK: Strong decarbonization regulations and high LNG pricesJapan, South Korea, Taiwan: Coal plants being reactivated; high energy security concernsPakistan: Energy security crisis driving interest in energy independenceSaudi Arabia & GCC countries: High oil-based electricity generation5. Energy Security & Geopolitical ContextThe Strait of Hormuz chokepoint is critical for global energy supply. Recent developments include:UAE and Saudi Arabia pipeline expansionsIraq's new Mediterranean pipeline projectsPakistan's LNG crisis and power shortagesQatar cutting LNG/LPG exportsEuropean dependence on energy imports6. Regulatory & Policy LandscapeBiden Administration: Inflation Reduction Act rejected "imaginary" renewable credits; requires real-time renewable useTrump Administration: Favors "firm" energy (batteries, geothermal, green molecules) over intermittent sourcesBoth administrations converged on prioritizing reliable, available energyNew Secretary of Energy Chris Wright emphasizes levelized cost of energy vs. electricity7. Carbon Credits vs. Real MoleculesStandard Carbon is moving away from carbon credit trading toward delivering certified clean fuel with chain-of-custody verification. Customers want actual low-carbon gas delivered through pipelines, not accounting credits—a more valuable business model than credit trading.8. Technology Origins & InspirationNatan's inspiration came from reading "The Case for Mars" by Dr. Robert Zubrin, which described producing rocket fuel from Mars's CO2 atmosphere. He adapted this concept for Earth-based applications after New York City passed aggressive climate legislation in 2019.9. Grid Resiliency & Data Center PowerA critical emerging use case: AI data centers require localized power generation near urban centers due to latency requirements. Gas-fired generation is the only practical option, making decarbonized gas essential for powering future AI infrastructure in cities.10. Intellectual Property & Competitive MoatStandard Carbon has filed extensive patents in the US and Europe to protect their integrated technology, though the core components are well-established. The competitive advantage lies in the integration and optimization rather than individual technologies.This is a compelling story about how existing technologies can be combined to address both energy security and decarbonization challenges in a commercially viable way.Follow Natan on his LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natan-shahar-3ba84920/Check out Standard Carbon here: https://www.standardcarbon.com/Check the articles on https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

Global shipping moves roughly 80 to 90% of the world's trade, and it comes with a real climate cost: the industry is responsible for a little over 2% of global CO2 emissions. On today's episode of the How to Protect the Ocean Podcast, Andrew looks at one of the more surprising fixes the industry is turning to: sails. Not the old canvas kind, but massive rigid wing sails retrofitted onto modern cargo vessels to cut fuel use and emissions without waiting on next-generation fuels. The centerpiece example is the Pyxis Ocean, a bulk carrier fitted with two 37.5-meter WindWings that fold down like giant airplane wings when they're not catching wind. It's part of a wider trend: more than 100 large cargo ships now sail with some form of wind propulsion installed, and the fuel savings range from about 1% to as much as 47%, depending on the number of sails and wind conditions. Andrew breaks down why shipping companies are leaning into this old-school technology now, from tightening emissions regulations to the simple fact that wind is free once the hardware is on deck. The bigger obstacle isn't the technology, it's the business model. Andrew digs into the split incentive problem in shipping: the owners who pay to install wind systems often aren't the ones paying for fuel, and the charterers who control fuel costs aren't the ones footing the bill for new equipment. That mismatch, more than any engineering hurdle, is what's slowing wind propulsion from scaling across the global fleet. Takeaways: Global shipping carries 80 to 90% of world trade and produces roughly 2% of global CO2 emissions The Pyxis Ocean was retrofitted with two 37.5-meter WindWing sails and helped kick off the current wave of wind-assisted shipping More than 100 large cargo ships now have wind propulsion installed, saving an estimated 100,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year combined Wind can cut fuel use anywhere from 1% to 47%, and purpose-built wind-assisted ships could average a 50% reduction The biggest barrier to scaling wind propulsion is commercial, not technical: owners and charterers have mismatched incentives The IMO has set decarbonization targets for shipping, and EU-funded projects are running sea trials in the North Sea to prove the technology out Support Independent Podcasts: https://www.speakupforblue.com/patreon Need help with your ocean non-profit, company, or project?

Viagra's Cancer Signal, TV's Toll on Your Brain, Heat and Accelerated Aging, and a New Way to Flush Your Brain Explained Viagra's Active Ingredient May Block Cancer From Spreading A study published in Cancer Research from the Weizmann Institute of Science, in collaboration with Clalit and the U.S. National Cancer Institute, found that sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, may interfere with cancer cells' ability to metastasize by disrupting how they regulate cholesterol, a resource tumors need to detach and invade new tissue. The team combined mouse models and human cell cultures with more than twenty years of medical records covering roughly five million people, and found better survival outcomes among about forty thousand cancer patients who had taken sildenafil before diagnosis. Researchers also flagged a possible combination effect with statins. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this cheap, off-patent drug class deserves more attention than it's getting, and where it fits alongside his own longevity protocol. Source: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/viagra-may-stop-cancer-from-spreading-study ~~ Heavy TV Watching In Midlife Tied To Alzheimer's-Related Brain Changes A nearly twenty-four-year study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia followed more than 1,700 adults, tracking TV habits in their early fifties and scanning their brains in their mid-seventies. Men who watched more TV showed greater white matter damage and smaller frontal and occipital lobes, while women showed no such association. Critically, people with desk jobs that kept them sedentary all day did not show the same brain changes, and the TV association held even after adjusting for exercise levels. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why passive screen time, not sitting itself, may be the real driver here.

Short-term heat exposure moved one clock significantly, while exposure sustained over a full year or six years moved all major clocks, with extreme-caution heat days tied to nearly a three-year jump in one aging measure and a five percent faster overall aging pace on another. Researchers point to inflammation and stress signaling as likely drivers. Host Dave Asprey explains why this is a fundamentally different kind of heat story than the sauna and cold-plunge conversation biohackers are used to.

Global chicken populations have grown sevenfold since the 1960s to about 27 billion birds, and researchers identified genetic adaptations tied to antimicrobial resistance developing inside that population. Sixty to eighty percent of human Campylobacter infections trace back to raw chicken, with links to post-infectious IBS in some cases. Host Dave Asprey connects the dots between industrial farming density and the gut-health stakes for anyone who eats chicken.

In a study of thirty Parkinson's patients and thirty-three healthy controls, a single thirty-minute session produced measurable increases in blood levels of beta-amyloid, alpha-synuclein, and other waste proteins associated with neurodegeneration. The VA's Technology Transfer Program is now developing a patent and prototype device. Host Dave Asprey explains why this gives breathwork protocols a real physiological mechanism instead of just a hunch.

In this live-stream episode, Bryan is joined by Tim DeStasio, John Semmelhack, and Ty Branaman for a deep dive into residential ventilation — the often-overlooked "V" in HVAC. The group opens with quick life updates before launching into a wide-ranging conversation covering the three core ventilation strategies (circulation, extraction, and dilution), how tight home construction changes the ventilation equation, and why there is no single "magic number" that works for every house. A major theme is the physics of pressurization and depressurization. Tim walks through balanced strategies (ERVs and HRVs), positive-pressure approaches using ventilating dehumidifiers, and exhaust-only setups — explaining why exhaust-only, while still code-compliant, is his least favorite option due to the risk of pulling air from crawl spaces, attics, or combustion appliances. Using REDCalc, Tim demonstrates how even modest airflow can swing a tight house's pressure by ten or more pascals, and the group discusses how wind, stack effect, and seasonal conditions constantly change a home's natural air exchange rate. Ty brings a service-focused perspective, emphasizing measurement before intervention — checking CO2, carbon monoxide, and other indicators before jumping to solutions like bigger fans or added dehumidification. He shares real-world stories, including a rental home with elevated CO from an unvented gas range, and stresses that building science problems (duct leakage, poorly placed bath fans, depressurized combustion appliances) often hide behind symptoms that look like simple ventilation shortfalls. Large kitchen range hoods get particular attention: hoods moving 1,200 CFM or more can seriously depressurize a house, and the group discusses code thresholds for interlocked and powered makeup air, along with practical products like the Fantech MUAS. John rounds out the discussion with a walkthrough of a real high-performance home design, showing how an ERV can serve both whole-house outside air and continuous bathroom exhaust, how MERV 16 pre-filtration has become a common upgrade since the 2021—2022 wildfire smoke events, and how an ERV can be configured to boost into a makeup-air role when a range hood kicks on. The episode closes with a look at ventilating dehumidifiers, demand-controlled ventilation, the tradeoffs of leaving blower fans in the "on" position, and recommended resources for anyone wanting to go deeper into building science. Topics Covered The three ventilation strategies: circulation, extraction, and dilution How tight, high-performance construction drives the need for mechanical ventilation Calculating and understanding natural air exchange rates Balanced (ERV/HRV), positive-pressure, and exhaust-only ventilation strategies Using REDCalc to model pressurization and depressurization Why exhaust-only ventilation can create combustion safety risks Designing ventilation with flexibility beyond code-minimum rates Measuring first: CO2, CO, and pollutant levels before choosing a solution Large range hoods, makeup air requirements, and the Fantech MUAS system Passive capture and range hood geometry (corner hoods vs. center islands) A real-world high-performance home ERV design walkthrough MERV 16 pre-filtration for outside air following regional wildfire smoke events Using an ERV in a makeup-air configuration for range hood operation Ventilating dehumidifier strategy and sizing considerations Demand-controlled ventilation and the new ASHRAE 62.2-2025 guidance Risks of leaving blower fans in the "on" position, including duct leakage effects Recommended building science resources: Joseph Lstiburek, Allison Bailes, and TEC classes Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Mikael and Jack answer listener questions on indoor versus outdoor FTP differences, whether time in zone is all that matters and how to optimise interval intensity, a first 70.3 debrief covering swim breathing problems and bike cramps, and lots more! Email us your questions, or answer the question prompts in our Instagram stories to get your questions answered on the next Q&A. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Why indoor and outdoor FTP differ, whether a 20-watt gap is normal, and why Mikael has never had an athlete test both. Fans and airflow as the most underrated indoor cycling upgrade, including the research showing 40 km time-trial power is maintained up to 27°C when airflow matches outdoor riding speed. How to back-calculate an outdoor FTP from your own sweet spot and threshold interval data rather than doing a second test. Why a 10-minute interval should not be done at your 10-minute power, and how to perform a session so you finish at a session RPE of 7 to 8 with something left in the tank. Is time in zone all that matters? The same power and the same total work can produce very different internal loads. Minimum rep lengths if you want to spread work through a longer ride: 4 to 5 minutes for VO2max reps, 10 to 15 minutes for threshold reps. A first 70.3 debrief: why the swim breathing fell apart and how to break the hypercapnia (CO2 buildup) spiral, and what most likely caused hamstring cramps at 70 km on a hilly bike course. Instagram questions: finding your bike power in the first 20 minutes of a race, whether a VO2max block followed by a threshold block is a silver bullet, training after dental surgery, splitting 120 g of carbs per hour, and preparing for the Ironman Nice climb when you have no long climbs.

You'd think the dirtiest air you breathe all day is outside, but Mike Feldstein showed me it's the opposite. The average home is usually 5 to 10 times dirtier than the air outside, and since the 1970s we've built homes airtight for energy efficiency, so every new couch, rug, and coat of paint off-gasses right where you live. In a study of 150 people, just cleaning the bedroom air got them 25 more minutes of sleep a night and 18% more deep sleep. If you've been waking up tired, foggy, or congested and can't figure out why, don't start with your bloodwork. Start with the tank you're living in.

Sustainability isn't just good PR; it's good business math. In this episode, Andrew breaks down why companies are shifting toward circular business models, using Philips Lighting as a case study in selling light as a service instead of a product. He digs into the economics behind the shift: a British industrial symbiosis study that saved companies significant money and cut CO2 emissions, a PwC Sweden study showing double-digit operating cost reductions in circular electronics, and the rise of sustainability-linked loans that reward companies for hitting circularity targets with lower interest rates. Andrew also gets honest about the limits of corporate sustainability. Greenwashing is real, B Corp certification isn't perfect, and some consulting firms that advise on sustainability also take on fossil fuel clients. He connects this to a broader conversation about right-to-repair legislation, the EU's upcoming circular economy rules, and why appliances that used to last 20 to 25 years now often die within a decade. Along the way, he shares a personal story about a retired school principal who spent 25 years collecting bottles and cans to fund his old school, a small-scale example of the same circular thinking companies are now being pushed to adopt. This episode is part of How to Protect the Ocean's weekday coverage of ocean and sustainability news, where Andrew connects business decisions, government policy, and everyday consumer choices to the bigger picture of environmental protection. Takeaways Circular business models like Philips Lighting's lighting as a service can cut costs while extending product lifespans Industrial symbiosis and shared waste streams between companies can generate major cost savings and emissions reductions Sustainability-linked loans now offer lower interest rates to companies that hit circularity targets Greenwashing and inconsistent B Corp standards make it hard to separate real sustainability action from marketing The EU's upcoming circular economy legislation includes stricter product design rules, a digital product passport, and consumer repair rights Right to repair laws could reverse the trend of appliances failing well before their expected lifespan Deposit return systems for bottles and cans show how take-back models create financial incentive for recycling Support Independent Podcasts: https://www.speakupforblue.com/patreon Need help with your ocean non-profit, company, or project?

Landfills across African cities are catching fire and releasing methane, an invisible greenhouse gas with more short-term warming potential than CO2. Sustainable strategist Mohamed A. Sultan reveals how local communities are turning this crisis into opportunity, diverting hundreds of tons of waste from landfills and helping thousands of farmers adopt more sustainable techniques. Learn why cutting methane emissions is a win-win opportunity to drive down global temperatures while also creating more livable cities. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In the nine hours after the Los Angeles wildfires, before the climate movement could get its shoes on, the narrative was being written. Through social media, podcasts and talking heads on cable news, the truth was buried behind a deliberate strategy of disinformation. In the twenty-one months since China's emissions have flatlined, everyone is asking whether this is a blip or a trend. And across 640,000 square kilometres of protected ocean, nobody is quite certain what happens next.You have probably seen these stories reported. But what is actually going on out there?This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson go after the questions underneath the headlines. What is actually changing, who is blocking progress, who is telling the story? And who holds power? Can a COP presidency really be split between two governments, one holding the diplomacy and the other the logistics? Christiana, who has run a few COPs, thinks it collapses over furniture. Is the addiction to profit an economic problem or a psychological one? Tom and Paul fight (amicably) about billionaires.Meanwhile, 1,600 communities across the UK have screened a film briefing the public on a crisis their government will not explain to them. If they can move that fast, what would it take for the rest of us to match them?LEARN MOREOn China's emissions
Well guys, it's been a heck of a week - apologies for getting this out somewhat late, my brain is *egg of frying pan sound.* I know you all can understand. Be prepared! I learn some neuroscience and immunology today because it's a ~fully body~ Schauer this week, ayo! I'd like to thank my parents for bestowing me with a last name rife with self-branding related puns.

In this solo episode of Inside Winemaking, Jim tackles one of the questions he gets most often: how to manage empty barrels. Working through the full lifecycle of a barrel, Jim covers receiving and inspecting new barrels on arrival, keeping them hydrated before harvest (his go-to: shrink-wrap them tight and lock the moisture in), and recovering barrels that have dried out. He walks through swelling and leak-testing before filling, the realities of finding and repairing leaks with spiles, and smart practices for stacking, filling, and leaving proper ullage for young wines still off-gassing CO2. From there, Jim gets into cleaning and sanitizing — why an immediate rinse matters, where he lands on tartrates, and his candid take on the trade-offs between burning sulfur, SO2 gas, ozone, and steam. He closes with short-, medium-, and long-term storage strategies, how often to recharge sulfur based on cellar conditions, and how to tell when a barrel is truly done. Practical, opinionated, and grounded in real cellar experience, this episode is a field guide for anyone trying to keep their empty barrels healthy between fills.
