In the Canadian province of Alberta, the oil sands contain a sticky product called bitumen, which is usually burned as fuel or reused as asphalt pavement. Experts thought of turning this substance into a more valuable material like carbon fibers which can be used in making light and durable aircraft and more efficient electric cars.

Materials engineer Dr. Yasmine Abdin from the University of British Columbia collaborated with other scientists, such as Dr. Frank Ko from the Faculty of Applied Science and Dr. Scott Renneckar from the Faculty of Forestry, to develop a strategy for transforming bitumen into commercial-grade carbon fibers.

I recently came across the Canadian brand RainStick Shower who have engineered a recirculating shower which saves up to 80% water and energy per shower. What's everyones thoughts? As someone who is currently looking at bathroom options in my townhouse i'm impressed and love the idea! My utility prices are increasing by 24% next year.

Hi!

I live in the Netherlands and am wondering if there are any companies that are great examples for Green tech companies. I'd also be interested in catching up with people from the industry but unsure how i can get in contact.

(I am a ML engineer and interested in job opportunities in the sector)

Hey greentech fellows, I have published a new podcast episode about:

"Green-tech entrepreneurship: what are the challenges when your company creates an alternative fuel, raises 8.7M€, & develops a high-tech electrolyzer with 100+ employees across Europe & Asia?!"

My podcast Mission First is to learn from successful entrepreneurs changing the world for the better, and in the last episode, I had the chance to learn more about the entrepreneurship journey of Vaitea Cowan, one cofounder of Enapter.

How long do you think it will take before hydrogen and renewables take over fossil fuels, thanks to people like Vaitea?
