GreenMine begins its run of the entrepreneurial gauntlet to Institutional Investment

3 February 2024 admin 0

Dear All, Did you know that Running the Gauntlet has no relation to the glove? The term “Running The Gauntlet” dates from the first half of the 1600s, and derives from the word gantlope, which itself comes from the Swedish word gatlopp, for “lane-course”. It was in fact a form of military punishment where a man ran between two rows of soldiers who struck him with sticks or knotted ropes. Sometimes, it seems to me this is what the entrepreneurial gauntlet feels like. In the early stages, nobody wants you to win apart from your Mum. G8 and are now passing them onto [...]

GreenMine secures first waste carbonisation site in Wales

2 February 2024 admin 0

UK-based waste carbonisation business, GreenMine, has secured its first operational site – an industrial location in North Wales. It will take control of the two-acre industrial site from the start of March and has already commenced planning and environmental permitting applications that are anticipated to conclude by the end of 2024. The site has a 20-year lease, with a 20-year feedstock contract and an offtake contract to the National Grid. John Bell, Managing Director at GreenMine said: “This is a really significant milestone for us in commercialising this near-to-zero emissions solution to landfill for the UK. We expect to initiate manufacturing of the first [...]

ENG8’s EnergiCell latest milestone hits the news

ENG8 says it can generate five times as much power as it puts into its fusion energy process. This milestone has hit the news. Fusion energy specialist, ENG8, has demonstrated an electrical energy output five times greater than the energy used in this ground-breaking, independent validation at Culham Innovation Centre in Oxfordshire, one of the top five leading fusion centres in the world, and home to the UK’s Atomic Energy Authority.During each of the three tests, lasting approximately 10 minutes each, ENG8’s ‘EnergiCell’ consistently scored an electrical energy output of five – one unit of electrical energy in, and five units [...]

Hotting up investment in fusion energy

9 October 2023 admin 0

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

2 October 2023 admin 0

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 [...]

Ground-breaking waste carbonisation plant to eradicate landfill

5 September 2023 admin 0

UK-based business, Pyrolysise, is introducing new waste carbonisation technology with zero toxic emissions as a game-changing solution to reduce greenhouse gases by mining landfill and reclaiming redundant and contaminated land. John Bell, Managing Director of Pyrolysise, said: “Our technology goes way beyond the usual benefits of a waste recycling process and has huge potential for us to address the housing shortage by cleaning up existing landfills near residential areas, enabling the safe re-development of these areas for affordable housing and leisure amenities. “We’re aiming to eradicate landfill sites and create sustainable urban living capable of generating energy, sequestration of carbon and aesthetically [...]

Investing in renewable energy breakthroughs

1 September 2023 admin 0

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 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, [...]

Making a meaningful difference to the green agenda

24 August 2023 admin 0

The devasting effects of climate change are being witnessed around the world as we are fast approaching a 1.5°C 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% 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 10% cut in greenhouse gas emissions, putting the world on track for a 2.5°C increase. So, [...]
