Rooftop wind, not solar?

Small scale wind isn't very popular for residential applications. But a new turbine which mimics the natural spiral design of a nautilus shell might soon provide an alternative to solar. It claims to be quieter but also very efficient, such that one turbine can produce 1,500kwh/annum. In Sydney, an average household (2.4 persons) consumes about 5,200kwh/annum.

Electricity from the Air

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have identified that "literally any kind of material can harvest electricity from air, as long as it has holes smaller than 100 nanometers (nm), or less than a thousandth of the width of a human hair.” https://www.umass.edu/news/article/engineers-umass-amherst-harvest-abundant-clean-energy-thin-air-247

Green Methanol for LEGO and Insulin Pens

Green methanol is a low carbon liquid chemical and fuel produced from sustainable biomass, often called bio-methanol, or from captured CO2 & hydrogen produced from renewable electricity, referred to as e-methanol. It is a multipurpose liquid which is easier to store and handle than green hydrogen. It's been slow to get much traction, but is showing promising signs of renewed interest with LEGO and others looking at its use in their operations. https://www.reuters.com/article/renewables-plastic-lego-novo-nordisk-idAFL8N36N1YN
