Bold use of green tech can foster a new era of sustainable growth
Imagine growing crops with 95% less water, or producing meat through methods that free up 80% of the world’s agricultural land. And how about eliminating the CO2 of global supply chains by simply moving production facilities closer to customers and cutting the parts used in the final product a hundredfold? What might sound like crazy ideas are solutions available today through green technologies.
The risks and rewards of collaboration in green technology
It is essential that both the public and private sectors work together to drive through the innovation and green technology required to achieve the net zero goals set by governments and companies around the world.
Google Cloud will now tell customers how to reduce their cloud emissions
Understanding, reporting and reducing carbon emissions is about to get a whole lot easier for Google Cloud customers thanks to the release of a new portfolio of intelligent tools called Active Assist.
Last year the search giant analyzed aggregate data from all of its cloud customers to find over over 600,000 gross kgCO2e in idle projects that could be cleaned up or reclaimed. In fact, doing so would have a similar impact to planting almost 10,000 trees.
The Sociable’s Top 20 Sustainable Technology Innovations for 2022
With the passing of new regulations in support of the Paris Climate Agreement, the paradigm has shifted around the globe concerning the seriousness of our planet’s climatic condition. Societies are now feeling the heat—both figuratively and literally, and aims to achieve to net-zero CO2 emissions are causing integral systems to shift as businesses scramble to navigate tumultuous economic terrain.
Green tech no longer a 'good to have' but a must in supply chains
THE great supply chain disruption of 2021, coupled with rising fuel costs, has put the entire industry through a stress test – but sustainability has not taken the back seat. Instead, issues such as carbon emissions and ethical sourcing are more prominent than ever.
The green tech power list
As humankind faces its greatest challenge yet – how to combat the devastating environmental impacts of climate change – the need for new ideas to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and pollution has never been greater.
EarthOptics helps farmers look deep into the soil for big data insights

Green Tech Harvests Double the Power From Ocean Waves
Researchers have developed prototype technology that can double the power harvested from ocean waves, in an advance that could finally make wave energy a viable renewable alternative.
Green Tech Is Attracting Greater Investor Interest
As more attention is focused on fighting climate change, green technology is catching another breath from a new cash infusion. The invention of a potentially breakthrough technology has not always led to large-scale commercial production as big investors have been loath to throw money into the big capital spending required for businesses like solar farms and battery before reaching profitability, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Opinion: The Future of Green Tech
Examples of green tech include recycling (waste incineration/management), water purification, self-sufficient buildings (infrastructure that can be operated independently), and generation of energy (solar panels, hydropower dams, windmills, etc).
