China's Green Methanol Industry is racing ahead 🇨🇳🌱⚗️🏎️
Many expect that Green Methanol is the future clean shipping fuel🚢⛽, as well as a promising feedstock for sustainable aviation fuels✈️ & fossil-free plastics🧴
In 2023, something happened in China🇨🇳.
Suddenly, announcements for Green Methanol production plants started appearing. They had one thing in common: they were huge💪. 500,000 tons here, a million tons there🏭🏭🏭

Why China Is Winning the Green Methanol Race
Methanol made from sustainable feedstocks is a key technology for climate-neutral shipping, aviation, and fossil-free chemicals. Chinese companies are already building industrial production facilities and surrounding infrastructure, while the rest of the world is falling behind.

The Dutch police are presenting the electric patrol cars which, following the completion of the trial period, are now set to be rolled out on a larger scale. It’s interesting to note what they mention in the video:
- the global fuel supply is volatile, as has recently been demonstrated once again; these EVs mean they can remain operational even in such situations
- climate change affects police work: floods, fires (and climate protests)

'Stealth mode' en laadpalen: elektrische Skoda en Cupra voor de politie
Dit zijn de nieuwe, volledig elektrische voertuigen van de politie.

With an #acting #coaching client, we tried what we thought was the opposite intent of the scene. Remarkably, we found the writing not only tolerated it, but allowed a wider scope of feelings and goals than we'd first assumed. Cool discovery.

I’m feeling suspicious about the US midterms this year. In such a political climate, the Republican Party is awfully quiet about it and it seems almost like they are trying to fly under the radar and planning something.

Wildfires used to 'go to sleep' at night. Climate change is turning them into prime burning hours https://phys.org/news/2026-04-wildfires-night-climate-prime-hours.html

Wildfires used to 'go to sleep' at night. Climate change is turning them into prime burning hours
Burning time for North American wildfires is going into overtime. Flames are lasting later into the night and starting earlier in the morning because human-caused climate change is extending the hotter and drier conditions that feed fires, a new study found.

The Swifts are back from the South! 5 days earlier than before climate change started to accelerate here.

Rice feeds billions of people—but its role in fueling climate change is growing
Rice feeds more than half the world. From terraced paddies in Southeast Asia to irrigated fields in China and India, it underpins daily meals for billions of people.
