📣 An advancement in the aluminum industry is on the horizon. 📣 Brimstone — a Breakthrough Energy Ventures portfolio company — is leading the charge by rethinking how alumina — an essential component of aluminum — is produced. At a U.S.-based, government-supported facility, Brimstone plans to extract alumina from domestic rock sources, reducing America’s dependence on the global aluminum market. This move strengthens U.S. supply chains and addresses the need for more sustainable materials in our transition to net-zero. Read more in Axios: https://nt-z.ro/4jigL6x

As we grow the carbon removal industry to 100 million tons per year, we could create up to 130,000 jobs! These are all types of jobs, from metal working, mining, engineers, logistics, operations and maintenance, project developers, construction and everything in between. Check out the report by Rhodium Group in collaboration with Carbon Removal Alliance. https://lnkd.in/eQg_-UBA

🌱 When it comes to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, nature already holds the key: photosynthesis. Graphyte— a BEV portfolio company — is enhancing this natural process through carbon dioxide removal, ensuring that CO₂ captured by plants stays stored for over a thousand years. Their process turns agricultural and timber byproducts into carbon blocks, preserving carbon at scale — currently for less than $100 a ton.
