New meat alternative? Look to Dairy's biggest byproduct for a low-carbon, low-impact, high nutrition meat... all from up-cycled whey 🐄🚀 https://hubs.li/Q03gHqKY0 📍Scientists at Tecnológico de Monterrey and DTU have developed a non-GMO precision fermentation process to upcycle whey, a major dairy byproduct, into sustainable single-cell proteins. 📍This innovative approach uses mixed microbial communities to convert lactose in whey into a protein-rich biomass with a nutritional value comparable to meat and milk, while generating fewer emissions and requiring less land. 📍By transforming a significant waste stream into a valuable food ingredient, this technology offers a lower-carbon alternative to traditional animal proteins and has the potential to boost food security. 📍The process is cost-effective and produces a neutral-tasting protein, making it adaptable for various food applications, and could be readily implemented in regions with high cheese production. Precision Fermentation is the future of food production: https://hubs.li/Q03gHrLf0 This technology can be implemented anywhere, providing endless economic, health, environmental and social benefits to countries that embrace it.. https://hubs.li/Q03gHqH40 📖 Read our Rethinking Food & Agriculture report for the full scoop: https://hubs.li/Q03gHpD50

Pakistan’s solar boom ☀️🔋 EV rise, and climate action signal a historic shift from fragility to clean tech leadership across Asia’s most unexpected energy frontier... https://hubs.li/Q03gt93m0 This article takes a deep-dive into the history of Pakistan's rise in the race to solar... Here are some key quotes from the article: 📍"By the end of 2024, (Pakistan) quietly rocketed into the top tier of solar adopters, importing a jaw-dropping 22 gigawatts worth of solar panels in a single year." 📍"While the U.S. continued its decade-long existential crisis about grid interconnection queues and Europe squabbled over permitting reforms, Pakistan skipped the drama and just bought the panels." Solar, wind and batteries are the future of our energy system. Superabundant energy and prosperity are on the horizon for any region or nation that chooses to embrace this disruption...

Flying Taxis? Chinese regulators clear the way for autonomous passenger drones, and RethinkX predicted it! 🚕⚡✈️https://hubs.li/Q03fssR40 📍China has taken a major step towards creating a commercial flying taxi industry, after regulators granted the country’s first-ever approvals for two companies to operate autonomous passenger drones. 📍“We reckon that low-altitude tourism will be the beginning of this new business,” the report stated. “EHang’s urban sightseeing tours can accelerate the development of the industry.” 📍China’s low-altitude economy is predicted to be worth 1.5 trillion yuan (US$207 billion) by 2025 and could grow to reach 2.5 trillion yuan by 2035, according to a report by research group Hurun, citing data from the CAAC. In our 2017 Rethinking Transportation report, RethinkX predicted the rise of autonomous electric aircrafts: "Beyond road transportation, short-haul aviation (which produces about one-third of emissions from commercial aviation) will be disrupted by the combination of electric aircraft and overnight road trips in A-EVs."

BYD announces EV fast-charging as quick as petrol ⚡ https://hubs.li/Q03dNnT20 📍The Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has unveiled a new charging system that it said could make it possible for EVs to charge as quickly as it takes to refill with petrol. 📍Two new BYD models will be capable of receiving peak charging power of 1,000 kilowatts (kW), enabling them to travel 400km (249 miles) on a five-minute charge, the BYD founder, Wang Chuanfu, said at an event livestreamed from the company’s Shenzhen headquarters on Monday. The disruption of transportation is inevitable. EVs and A-EVs will replace ICE cars and create a brand new transportation business model, 'Transport-as-a-Service'. https://hubs.li/Q03dNsh10 Uncover this disruption in-depth: https://hubs.li/Q03dNr730 Uncover 8 myths about EVs that need to be sent to the scrap heap: https://hubs.li/Q03dNyJh0

The great stranding of coal, oil and gas is here ⬇️⛽ Wind and solar now account for more U.S power than coal says U.S Energy Administration... 🚀 Coal is out. Clean Energy is in. And RethinkX predicted it. In our 2021 Energy report, RethinkX predicted by 2030, coal, gas, and nuclear power technologies will be unable to compete with new battery-firm capacity that makes electricity from solar and wind possible all day, all night, all year round. https://hubs.li/Q03dNywX0 We also predicted in 2017 that oil demand would peak at 100 million barrels a day by 2020 and the collapse of oil prices would be felt as early as 2021. We were correct. This means that the disruption of conventional technologies is now inevitable. No new investment in coal, gas or nuclear power is rational from this point forward. Decision-makers must act fast to respond to this inevitable disruption of coal oil and gas, and to protect people over profit: https://hubs.li/Q03dNnSY0 📽️ Watch our founder explain The Great Stranding in detail: https://hubs.li/Q03dNyxR0

Figure announces highest volume humanoid robot production line in the world 🤖https://hubs.li/Q03dpRVH0 Initially designed to produce 12,000 robots/year, it will scale to support a fleet of 100,000 "The robots are coming. Leaders in government and industry are trying desperately to reassure the public – and themselves – that AI and robots won’t upset the status quo. But no matter how hard we try, wishing for something won’t make it true...The painful truth is that AI and robots will take our jobs. At the same time, the rise of AI and robots itself will create new jobs. But AI and robots will take those jobs too." - Adam Dorr, RethinkX Read the painful truth about AI & robotics: https://hubs.li/Q03dq0qj0 Watch a video on this insight: https://hubs.li/Q03dp_QZ0

AI revolutionizes weather forecasting 🌡️☀️☁️ https://hubs.li/Q03dpJ-p0 📍Cambridge scientists have made a major breakthrough in weather forecasting after developing a new AI prediction model that is tens of times better than current systems. 📍The new model, called Aardvark Weather, replaces the supercomputers and human experts used by forecasting agencies with a single artificial intelligence model that can run on a standard desktop computer. 📍This turns a multi-stage process that takes hours to generate a forecast into a prediction model that takes just seconds. 📍Tests of the Aardvark model revealed that it is able to outperform the United States national GFS forecasting system using just 10 per cent of the input data, leading researchers to say it could offer a “revolution in forecasting”. Over the next 15-20 years, artificial intelligence (in various forms) will disrupt and revolutionize human labor across every major industry and sector of the global economy.
