Founded in August 2022, it recently completed a successful pre-seed funding round, securing backing from a range of international investors. InPlanet has also joined Carbonfuture’s Catalyst program and participated in ClimAccelerator: CDR. We spoke to […]

The plan includes a big push in Britain for carbon capture usage and storage, floating offshore wind industry, green hydrogen, small modular reactors, insulation of homes, EV charging infrastructure, and heat pumps. Last week, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero unveiled a plan to strengthen Britain’s long-term energy security and independence to “help […]

Thanks to a petition from Vanuatu, the United Nations has asked an international court to consider whether there are legal consequences for activities that harm the environment.

A high tech range war for the 21st century: solar energy developers could crowd out cattle ranchers from public lands in western states.

One of the big things anti-EV FUDsters like to say is that the electrical grid can’t handle EVs. They know that ICE vehicles use a lot of energy to move, and that providing that much electricity must be a sure recipe for disaster. They’d have us believe that the grid is already on the verge […]
