Pyrolysise Launch Fundraise, Release IM and Video to Finance Waste Carbonisation Technology

News from Pyrolysise Ltd, that 350 PPM has been working with since May 2021: PYROLYSISE LTD Pyrolysise aims to revolutionise waste processing and clean and redevelop landfills though co-development of Carbonisation technology which can process unsorted waste, emissions and particulate free. The process creates offtakes of: Bio-Coal, Bio-Char, Bio-Oil and Mineral Recyclables in proportions dependent on the inputs. One WCP (Waste Carbonisation Plant) is in operation now, which processes 10% Municipal Solid Waste and 90% Plastic, yet the WCP’s can be adapted for all waste types. Plastic processing will be an interesting development in the UK as subsidies are expected to be between £200-300 [...]

Hotting up investment in fusion energy

Power generation currently accounts for approximately 30 percent of global CO₂ emissions. To meet the Paris Agreement’s target of full decarbonisation by 2050, the world is increasingly desperate for an abundant source of clean energy and many governments and utilities are shifting away from fossil fuels as their primary energy source and turning to renewable energy technologies to help mitigate the climate crisis. Volatility in the energy markets and geopolitical challenges may have complicated the transition to net zero in the short run, but in the longer run, the economics of renewable energy sources will drive up investment. So, can the energy that powers [...]

Megawatt Mosaic Investor Update

Wind power and solar energy are the most widely used renewable energy sources, but while these sources of power are clean and renewable, they have one main disadvantage — they are not available 100% of the time. Solar power is only available during the day, while wind does not blow continuously. Solar power is, therefore, mostly available when there is less of a need for lighting homes for example. Wind power is a variable resource, and the amount of electricity produced at any given point in time by a given plant will depend on wind speeds, air density, and turbine characteristics [...]

350 PPM Updates: ENG8 EnergiCell Q Value Revised Down, Shine Australia One Starts Shares Repurchases, Pyrolysise to Launch

Please see below update on some of the 350 PPM Incubated Opps we are working with: ENG8 (International) Ltd IEP Grupo (www.iep.pt) has revised ENG8’s Energicells  Q Value / COP performance down from 6.4 to 2.4 Thermal in their latest test in August. IEP had used the wrong heat capacity in calculating the COP or Q value. This is still up from 1.94 in the previous tests. Our development team had told us that performance had been increased in the AirCell, and as we were expecting a Q / COP value of circa 5 with the Electrical to Electrical EnergiCell, we just [...]

Investment will drive the green energy revolution

The devasting effects of climate change are being witnessed around the world as we fast approach a 1.5C rise in global temperature – a crucial tipping point after which irreversible damage will be done. To curb global warming, we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43 per cent compared with 2019 levels – taking CO₂ levels from 410 parts per million (PPM) to 350 PPM or below. Yet currently, the combined Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), countries’ climate pledges under the Paris Agreement, would mean only a ten per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions, putting the world on track for [...]

Investing in renewable energy breakthroughs

According to Fortune, nine out of ten start-ups fail.  Cold statistics like these are not intended to discourage entrepreneurs, but to encourage them to work smarter and harder. If you ask the experts why start-ups fall short, you will might hear about “horses” (that is, the opportunities start-ups are targeting) and “jockeys” (the founders). Both are important, but if forced to choose, most VCs would favour an able founder over an attractive opportunity. Consequently, when asked to explain why a promising new venture eventually stumbled, most are inclined to cite the inadequacies of its founders—in particular, their lack of grit, industry acumen, [...]
