Windows lose $40 Billion in thermal energy each year in the US, but AeroShield Materials is scaling up a solution for window-makers in Waltham, MA. AeroShield seeks to cut these energy losses in half with a new material that can be adopted into current double-pane window designs and processes. Led by CEO Elise Strobach and her co-founders, Kyle Wilke and Aaron Baskerville-Bridges, the company is developing super-insulating, transparent inserts for residential windows & doors that can save homeowners thousands in energy. AeroShield manufactures a truly transparent aerogel made of silica that is more insulating than air, more transparent than glass, and lighter than a marshmallow. Silica aerogels, originally used by NASA in spacecraft, are amazing materials with unique physical properties like ultra-low density, super-insulation, and heat resistance. Based on technology developed during Elise’s PhD at MIT, AeroShield’s patented aerogel is made of 95% pores that are so small the naked eye can’t see them! After years of development, this allows the company to deliver clear, super-insulating performance in a cost-effective sheet to bring state-of-the-art thermal comfort and energy savings into homes and buildings at an affordable price. AeroShield is able to supply their cutting-edge material to existing window & door manufacturers who leverage their expertise to seal the high performance material between two panes of glass in a stack or sandwich. AeroShield’s insulated glass is the only production material that allows double-pane windows, doors and skylights to meet ENERGY STAR 7.0 Most Efficient certification. The Company has used non-dilutive funding to prove out low-volume manufacturing here in Massachusetts and is gaining tremendous traction. MassVentures is proud to support Aeroshield and is excited to be part of their journey towards a more sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/gE_UKfYF Elise Strobach Kyle Wilke Aaron Baskerville-Bridges Charlie Hipwood Vinit Nijhawan (he/him) Priya Yadav Stacy Swider Sienna Leis Whitney Leslie Massachusetts Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) #Cleantech #Sustainability #Innovation #Decarbonization

The steel industry experienced significant growth in 2023, driven by increasing demand for infrastructure and construction projects. Emerging trends included a greater focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, as well as advancements in digital technologies to improve production processes and product quality. #SteelIndustry #2023Trends #SteelTech 🏗️🌐🔬

Old habits die hard! 🏗️ Witnessing a diesel-fueled vacuum excavation with four people 🚧 taking an entire day to dig a small hole to see what's underground is a clear sign of inefficiency in our utility construction. This situation reflects a broader issue: current utility regulatory frameworks inadvertently encourage costly and inefficient practices, with the expense ultimately falling on ratepayers. 💸 Today’s technology 🛰️ allows one person to map the underground of this street in 3D in under an hour, offering significant efficiency improvements to the utility construction process. Yet, we remain tethered to the past in the name of "reliability", blocking our route to a sustainable future. 🌱 Happy Earth Day! 🌎 #EnergyEfficiency #Innovation #Prezerv #UtilityConstruction #CleanEnergy #3DMapping #Decarbonization #DPU #SmartCity #AI #MachassuchettsDepartmentofPublicUtilities #DepartmentofPublicUtilities #DepartmentofEnergy #ConstructionTech

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 ‘𝘄𝗵𝘆?’ 𝗮𝗻𝗱 ‘𝗶𝗳?’, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 ‘𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻?’ 𝗮𝗻𝗱 ‘𝗵𝗼𝘄?’ by Stephen B. Harrison via Green Steel World   Green steel is not a choice, it is the only way forward. However, there are so many #decarbonisation pathways open to the #iron and #steel sector that fi nding the right solution can be challenging. Many pilots are underway and their lessons will become lighthouses to help operating companies navigate their journey to net-zero.   The #questions around #greensteel are not ‘#if?’ and ‘#why?’. Rather the questions are ‘#how?’, ‘#where?’ and ‘#when?’.   This #article lays out some of the decarbonisation #pathways and provides #casestudies of pilot #projects to enable deeper #research into the #deployment of decarbonisation #options to engage in the green steel #revolution.   Steel is the #backbone of every #industrialized nation. It forms the #skeleton of #skyscrapers and is the main material used to build ships, buses, cars, trains, and trucks. It is also used to build #electricity pylons for the #grid and #windturbines that make #renewablepower. The #energytransition cannot take place without #steel.   On the other hand, per tonne of product, steel is one of the most carbon-intensive materials used in construction. The #chances of finding a #cost-effective #alternative to steel with a low #CO2 intensity and similar mechanical #properties are close to #zero. So, the case for steel is clear. The future of #iron and #steelmaking can therefore be nothing other than green.   You may download the article and also some other articles from the below Green Steel World magazine link:   https://lnkd.in/dJhnyKbN

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹: 𝗣𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 by ETMM Steel production is on the verge of a major shift toward #sustainability, with the rise of #greensteel leading the way. By utilizing cutting-edge #technologies like electric arc furnaces (#EAFs) and #renewableenergy, green steel drastically reduces #CO2 emissions. Steel production is at the beginning of a revolutionary transformation. The change from conventional #production methods to #climate-friendly #processes is not only a response to the increasing #demands on #industry, but also a decisive step towards a sustainable future. At a time when climate protection is playing an increasingly important role, the #steelindustry is doing everything it can to minimise its #carbonfootprint — and green steel is key to this #transformation. Green Steel is not just a buzzword, but a concrete step towards a more sustainable future. The #steel industry is at the beginning of a profound transformation that will have a lasting impact not only on the #environment but also on the #economy. The #challenges along the way are considerable — from the availability and price of #greenelectricity to the #development of the #hydrogen #infrastructure. However, with continuous #research, #development and #collaboration between all relevant players, it is possible to overcome these obstacles and pave the way for #climateneutral steel production.

Tackling #greenhousegas emissions in the #builtenvironment will require a shift in the way #engineers and #architects specify #materials. Reducing #embodiedcarbon is key to lowering the #environmentalimpact of new #construction. "#Concrete is one of the biggest contributors to embodied #carbon, partly because of its #manufacturing and construction process, but also due to the sheer quantity used; globally it is by far the most consumed construction material.... the vast majority of concrete’s carbon #emissions comes from #cement" The CarbiCrete process uses #cleantech to enable cement-free concrete production. Our #technology replaces 100% of cement with steel slag, slashing #carbondioxide emissions and promoting the #circulareconomy.
