Daan had a great idea, Mark had a distinctive technology and I had the commercial insight to do something with the ethical problem. Together we founded Meatable. Industrial meat farming is unsustainable.
A sustainable and recyclable thermoelectric paper
Thermoelectric materials, capable of transforming heat into electricity, are very promising for converting residual heat into electrical energy, as they convert hardly usable or nearly lost thermal energy in an efficient way. Researchers at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) have created a new concept of thermoelectric material, published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science. It is a device composed of cellulose, produced in situ in the laboratory by bacteria, with small amounts of a conductive nanomaterial, carbon nanotubes, using a sustainable and environmentally friendly strategy.

In the agency’s memo, EPA commits to supporting innovation and pursuing science-based and data-driven strategies to reduce excess nutrients in our nation’s waters, along with technical assistance and other support to help scale effective nutrient loss reduction strategies. Funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law will provide resources to accelerate these efforts, such as the work happening through the Gulf Hypoxia Taskforce on state nutrient reduction strategies. EPA plans to accelerate progress in controlling nutrient pollution in our nation’s waters by pursuing three primary strategies: Deepen collaborative partnerships with agriculture. Double again EPA’s efforts to support states, tribes, and territories to achieve nutrient pollution reductions from all sources. Utilize EPA’s Clean Water Act authorities to drive progress, innovation and collaboration.
