B Chileshe, is joining the discussion around 'Delivering the electricity grid of the future'. A great opportunity to explore how an upgrade and future proof grid will support in delivering Net Zero. #EngineeringNetZero #InnovationZero

On World Intellectual Property Day 2024, we celebrate the connection between intellectual property (#IP) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year's theme, "IP and the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity," underscores the essential role that IP plays in fostering the innovations and creative solutions needed to achieve a sustainable future for all. Ceres' business was built on a landmark #innovation in #electrochemistry—our highly efficient, metal-supported #solidoxide #technology. This technology not only revolutionises #powergeneration and the production of #greenhydrogen but also supports several key #SDGs. In particular, Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) are directly supported by our advancements, driving us towards a net-zero world. The growth of our intellectual property portfolio is crucial to the success of our licensing model, allowing us to spread these transformative solutions globally. We are committed to continuous innovation, enhancing our IP to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. We are proud to partner with forward thinking organisations who are also committed to leading the way in SDGs, to transform our innovation into sustainable solutions. Clean energy starts with technology. #WorldIPDay #IntellectualProperty #Innovation #Creativity #SDGs #SustainableDevelopment #CleanEnergy #SolidOxideTechnology #SOFC #SOEC #FuelCell #Decarbonisation #CleanTech #Sustainability #Technology #NetZero

At Atoco, we're pioneering Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology that efficiently captures residual CO2, even in low concentration environments—paving the way for affordable and sustainable CO2 removal. However, the path to widespread adoption isn't just about technology. A new Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report highlights the critical need for a robust carbon market and clear carbon pricing. To bridge the 10 billion-tonne carbon removal gap by 2050, policies such as carbon pricing, regulatory mandates, and financial incentives are essential.   Our focus remains on developing novel technology to support these mechanisms when they're established. We believe our innovations will play a crucial role in the future of carbon removal.   Curious to learn more?
