New Zealand is one of the few countries in the world with access to a resource that could become a major new provider of reliable, low emissions energy. 

The Government is exploring a potential game-changer for securing future energy supply. Up to $60 million from the Regional Infrastructure Fund has been ring-fenced for exploring supercritical geothermal technology. The first $5 million will be used for work in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, to help understand if it's a possibility. Geothermal wells are drilled to a maximum depth of 3.5 kilometres, but scientists believe by drilling deeper, more energy will be available. GNS Science lead Dr Isabelle Chambeforte told Ryan Bridge that temperatures reach around 330 degrees maximum in the normal geothermal systems, but by drilling a few kilometres deeper, they'll be able to access temperatures of around 450 degrees. She says those temperatures offer a lot more energy per well. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Peter Specht, Partner bei Creandum. Peter bespricht die Series A von Supercritical und Mistral. Supercritical, ein Marktplatz für CO2-Entfernung, der hauptsächlich auf Technologieunternehmen abzielt, die "net zero" erreichen möchten, hat in einer Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde 13 Millionen US-Dollar eingesammelt. Die Runde wurde von Lightspeed Venture Partners angeführt und umfasst Beteiligungen von RTP Global, Greencode Ventures und MMC Ventures. Der Marktplatz von Supercritical ermöglicht es Unternehmen, "vollständig geprüfte und qualifizierte" Emissionsgutschriften zu erwerben, die dem Industriestandard der Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) entsprechen. Das Unternehmen wurde von Michelle You (CEO) und Aaron Randall (CTO) in London gegründet. Das erst vier Wochen alte Startup Mistral AI hat in einer Finanzierungsrunde 105 Millionen Euro eingesammelt, obwohl es noch kein Produkt und nur ein Pitchdeck hat. Investoren wie Lightspeed Venture Partners, Motier Ventures und andere haben in das Unternehmen investiert, um ein europäisches Large Language Model (LLM) zu entwickeln und dem von US-Firmen dominierten Markt entgegenzuwirken. Das Team von Mistral AI besteht aus ehemaligen Mitarbeitern von DeepMind, Meta und dem französischen Unicorn Alan, was ihnen einen Wettbewerbsvorteil verschafft.

374Water's Marc Deshusses provides unique insights on supercritical water oxidation and its ability to destroy PFAS.

In this session, you'll learn about: What supercritical water oxidation is What supercritical water oxidation does (hint:…

Water is a powerful weirdo beyond 374 degrees Water is the solvent for life. Beyond the statement, this is a chemical truth: water dissolves a variety of molecules, most of the time for the better. The problem is that it also tends to dissolve a lot of pollutants, which turns wastewater treatment operators crazy when, in turn, they have to separate water from these pollutants. Now there's good news for them: at 374 degrees and 221 bars, water reaches its critical point. And when it goes beyond that, it totally switches its behavior! Supercritical water, for instance, rejects salts and minerals that precipitate; and now dissolves organics. This means that you can also easily dissolve oxygen to trigger a single-phase oxidation that cleans up water in minutes. And guess what, that reaction is exothermic, which means it produces heat that you can recover to turn your process energy positive. That's called supercritical water oxidation, and it proves that water is a powerful weirdo beyond 374 degrees! Wanna dive deeper into the topic? Check out my conversation with Kobe Nagar, CEO and Co-Founder of 374Water.
