Discover Cleantech – The Magazine promoting the people, businesses, and ideas transforming our world. At Discover Cleantech we choose to be technological optimists, not because we think technology will solve everything, but because we believe that communication and awareness of the potential of new innovations and technologies are necessary to solve as much as possible. We are here to shine a light on all the entrepreneurs dedicating their time and work to new innovations on the cleantech market, but also on the plans and ambitions of companies, and organisations investing in expansions and new applications of well-established greener/cleaner solutions. Clean technologies are clearly the innovation the future needs. We are a positive media and the news platform for all the great initiatives taking place every single day. Discover Cleantech Dear Reader, – are we finally getting below the surface? • As the current energy crisis has taken the discussion on whether wind and solar needs to be supplemented by nuclear energy to a new level of shrillness, Discover Cleantech explores alternative methods to supply baseload energy. In this issue, we explore the potential of geothermal energy, a renewable energy source that can provide a stable, year-round high-capacity generation of electricity and heating. Still, it seems we have only scratched the surface of its potential. Kevin Chin predicts two technologies will make a mark in 2023 • Cleantech entrepreneur Kevin Chin has a long history of spotting important future trends in the sector. In a talk with Discover Cleantech, he looks forward to the coming year and chooses two technologies which he believes will move from development to rollout, having revolutionary effects in plastic waste and EV charging Raising the bar on PFAS removal • Highly stable and resistant to degradation once in the environment, PFAS is a large group of manmade chemicals, known as ‘forever chemicals’. As the chemicals are being linked to several serious health problems in humans, including cancer, thyroid disease and immune system disorders, the removal of PFAS from water sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Writing for Discover Cleantech, Maria Stranne, PhD in biotechnology, explores the problem and its solutions. REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS FOR PFAS The enduring lure of vertical-axis wind turbines • Visit any wind farm in the world and you will find three-bladed turbines with upwind rotors and horizontal nacelles perched on top of tall towers. This horizontal-axis wind turbine design, sometimes called the Danish concept because of the country where it was first commercialised, has become an industry standard worldwide. But not everyone is convinced it is the way forward. Ten gigantic wind farms • From the first 100-200Kw turbines erected in the late 1980s to this month’s announcement of a 18MW turbine from CSSC Haizhuang – it has been a breathtaking couple of decades for the wind sector. All over the world, wind farms with almost unbelievable capacity are mushrooming out of the land and sea. We take a look at ten of the world’s biggest wind projects, operating or under development. Airborne wind energy: flight of fancy or grounded idea? • The eastern coast of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean is home to what at first sight might seem like a kite maker’s folly. On windy days, a 120-square-metre red-and-white kite may be seen soaring and dipping over the sugar canes on the tropical island. A net-zero leader on how investment and innovation might save us • Last year, Beverley Gower-Jones, the founder of the climate venture capital fund Clean Growth Fund, and the cleantech consultancy, Carbon Limiting Technologies, was appointed to the UK Government’s Net Zero Innovation Board. This year, King Charles bestowed her an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), for...
