- Crazy experiment shows humans can learn to echolocate like batsIn Transhumanist Revolutions·June 28, 2022"When you think of echolocation, you probably think of bats or dolphins. But echolocation has also been used as a way for blind people to navigate, too. Despite the skill’s usefulness, few blind people have actually learned how to use echolocation. Now, though, researchers say humans can learn echolocation in as little as 10 weeks. Which could make it a viable skill for people with vision impairments. Humans can learn echolocation in just 10 weeks, experiment shows" Source: https://bgr.com/science/crazy-experiment-shows-humans-can-learn-to-echolocate-like-bats/ #Transhumanism #Echolocate009
- BSR Climate ScenariosIn Climate & Geoengineering·September 29, 2022BSR’s climate scenario narratives are based on a range of temperature pathways and cross-disciplinary research to capture physical and transition risks. Based on decade-by-decade analysis, scenario planning can inform today’s climate risk disclosures, build resilient business strategies, and present key opportunities for bold action. https://www.bsr.org/en/our-insights/report-view/bsr-climate-scenarios #scenarios #climate #netzero #transition0012
- The Human-like AI Robot Sophia Wants to Become a MotherIn General AI·December 8, 2021"Sophia is a social human-like AI robot developed by the Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, and made its first public appearance in mid-March 2016 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, United States. In 2017, Sophia made history by becoming the first human-like AI robot to be granted legal citizenship. This human-like AI robot, with nationality of Saudi Arabia, has made various controversial statements, but the most recent has left the world speechless: she wants to have a robot baby and start a family."

- IEA: The future of HydrogenIn Hydrogen·June 20, 2022"At the request of the government of Japan under its G20 presidency, the International Energy Agency produced this landmark report to analyse the current state of play for hydrogen and to offer guidance on its future development. The report finds that clean hydrogen is currently enjoying unprecedented political and business momentum, with the number of policies and projects around the world expanding rapidly. It concludes that now is the time to scale up technologies and bring down costs to allow hydrogen to become widely used. The pragmatic and actionable recommendations to governments and industry that are provided will make it possible to take full advantage of this increasing momentum." https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-hydrogen004
- What if “oil countries” with high potential for renewable energy (wind, solar) would use their infrastructure to produce large amounts...In Hydrogen·June 16, 2022... of renewable carbon fuels and hydrogen?003
- A future for fuel cellsIn Hydrogen·June 20, 2022"Hydrogen fuel cell technology is not a new development, and the use of these energy sources has, until recently, been in niche applications. Now, though, fuel cells are beginning to find their way into real automotive use as a means of facilitating the goal of ‘zero emission’ vehicles with supporting investment of significant proportions" https://www.automotivemanufacturingsolutions.com/technology/a-future-for-fuel-cells/42772.article005
- Hydrogen ShipsIn Hydrogen·June 20, 2022In Europe, hydrogen is part of the EU’s long-term strategy to become carbon neutral by 2050. Fully electric and electric-hybrid ships already operate in several countries, including Norway, and now a new project aims to build a zero-emission prototype vessel running on liquid green hydrogen (LH2). https://www.ship-technology.com/analysis/hydrogen-vessel/ https://www.offshore-energy.biz/worlds-first-hydrogen-powered-ships-one-step-closer-to-reality/003

- US renewable H2 the cheapest form of hydrogen in the world?In Hydrogen·August 11, 2022Last Sunday, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was passed by the US Senate, including tax credits of up to 3$/kg for ten years. Such a tax credit would effectively reduce the current cost of $3.73/kg for green hydrogen down to $0.73/kg. That's cheaper than grey hydrogen. A green hydrogen price below $1/kg might immediately stimulate demand for green steel, and could do so in other industrial sectors such as cement and glass-making. The lower price might even make hydrogen-powered road transport more financially attractive, particularly as the IRA — which is expected to be passed by the House of Representatives and signed into law by President Joe Biden within the week — contains subsidies of up to $7,500 for fuel-cell cars and up to $40,000 for fuel-cell trucks (although battery electric vehicles are also eligible for the same funding). Aside from the US, only the UK has unveiled a national subsidy for clean hydrogen — based on contracts for difference that would make it cost competitive with grey, while the European Commission has announced plans for a similar scheme, which will require the sign-off of 27 nations and the European Parliament. Germany has also revealed a €900m ($920m) auction scheme for green hydrogen imports from outside the EU. https://www.rechargenews.com/energy-transition/analysis-why-the-us-climate-bill-may-be-the-single-most-important-moment-in-the-history-of-green-hydrogen/2-1-1275143 What shall be the consequences for the European Hydrogen Economy?006
- Efficient energy: Newtrace is making production of green hydrogen 50pc cheaperIn Hydrogen·July 12, 2022After spending close to a decade studying and working in Europe, Prasanta Sarkar and Rochan Sinha returned to India to find the cities they’d grown up in dirtier, polluted, and more prone to sudden heavy flash rains than ever before. Prasanta, whose father worked in ONGC, India’s largest crude oil and natural gas company, had always been fascinated by energy, machines, and hardware. On the other hand, Rochan, who hailed from a family of doctors, had previously worked in developing technology for renewable energy systems such as solar fuel devices back in the Netherlands while pursuing his PhD.

- Why green hydrogen -- but not grey -- could help solve climate changeIn Hydrogen·December 8, 2021"After decades of development, hydrogen and renewable electricity are poised to revolutionize the global energy system, enabling climate-friendly solutions. When combined with digital technologies, they will trigger economic growth as transportation, telecommunications and civil infrastructures become smart and interconnected. In a post-pandemic world, several countries have included hydrogen fuel in their national recovery strategies. Canada and the United Kingdom have incorporated net-zero targets and disclosures to climate risk into national legislation. By identifying hydrogen’s role explicitly, the world is creating an international market for related zero-carbon solutions."
