Green steel production is making strides, with companies developing methods to use hydrogen made with renewable power to produce steel, potentially reducing the industry's carbon footprint dramatically. 🏭➡️🌱 Steel production currently accounts for about 8% of global carbon emissions, but these new technologies could bring that number close to zero. @Stegra's plant in Sweden, set to begin production in 2026, could be the first industrial-scale operation of its kind, producing 4.5 million metric tons of green steel annually. While this is just a small portion of global steel production, it's a promising start towards a cleaner, greener future for the industry. 🌍 #GreenSteel #CleanTech #SustainableIndustry

🌊 🌪️ Innovative technology is reshaping disaster preparedness and response. Here are some groundbreaking initiatives: - Peru: AI-powered system curates vital info, reaching 1.6 million people daily - Sri Lanka: Trilingual weather warning service for fisherfolk - Philippines: World's first business-led digital emergency operations center - Vanuatu: Blockchain-enabled cash transfer program for disaster recovery As climate-related crises increase, collaborations are more critical than ever. The Private Sector Humanitarian Alliance (PSHA) is taking this further, developing an AI platform to match corporate resources with on-the-ground needs during crises. #DisasterResilience #TechForGood #PrivatePublicPartnership

Addressing the addiction crisis requires innovative solutions. A new proposal from Federation of American Scientists suggests expanding the FDA's priority review voucher program and extending market exclusivity for addiction medications. This could revolutionize treatment options for substance use disorders, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Key points: - Only 3% of eligible patients receive SUD medication - Pharmaceutical R&D in addiction medicine is nearly non-existent - Proposed incentives could stimulate private-sector interest - Modernizing FDA efficacy standards for SUD trials is crucial As addiction-inducing technologies evolve rapidly, we need equally powerful innovations to reduce addiction rates. Read the full proposal below. #AddictionTreatment #HealthcareInnovation #SubstanceUseDisorder
