In recent years, there have been several attempts at building ahydrogen boat. But UK startup Drift is navigating new territory with a vessel that isnt hydrogen-powered, but hydrogen-producing. Drift is developing anautonomousyacht capable of making green hydrogen at sea. This is a huge benefit when compared to having a fixed installation. Wind pushes the sailboat, spinning a turbine under the hull which directs electricity to an onboard electrolyser. This machine uses an electrical current tobreak down seawater into hydrogen and oxygen....

An intense storm caused the Bayesian to capsize, plunging it to the bottom of the Mediterranean within minutes. Of the 22 people on board, seven died, including Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah. Years of courtroom scuffles ensued. And yet, Mike Lynch managed to take on the US Justice Department and won against all odds. A botched merger 40% off TNW Conference! Autonomy specialised in business data analytics.

Space has become a crowded place. Astronomersestimatethat over 10,000 active satellites were in orbit last month four times as many as just five years ago. The surge in launches has ignited excitement about a new space race. But the cosmic traffic may be heading for a catastrophic crash. Back on Earth, the UKs Space Operations Centre is tracking the threats with growing alarm. In July alone, the centre warned British satellite operators of 1,795 collision risks....

According to the Tallinn-based startup, the reactor will be able to produce 100 tonnes of CO2 per year. The companys technology isolates CO2 from flue gasses from heavy industry emitters. It then uses a process calledmolten salt electrolysisto turn it into green carbon. With this process, Up Catalysts first aim is to achieve price parity with traditional carbon sources.
