Recycling Technologies is industrializing a process—originally developed at the University of Warwick (UK)—to convert residual plastic waste into a low-sulfur hydrocarbon compound called Plaxx. Plaxx is created from residual mixed plastic waste that is not amenable to direct recycling and would otherwise go to landfill.

In addition, Kokam’s Ultra High Energy NMC batteries have a 96% efficiency, meaning less energy is wasted when the batteries charge or discharge. When you are designing an experimental aircraft every additional system is a potential source of failure, and that is why we had not initially integrated a cooling system.

As we confront the enormous challenge of climate change, we should take inspiration from even the most unlikely sources. Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) Project intends to answer. The aim of the MCB Project is to consider whether deliberately adding more sea salt CCN to low marine clouds would cool the planet.
