Sour’s partnership with Herone solves a concrete manufacturing problem: recycled carbon fiber has historically been too unpredictable for structural components, forcing brands to blend it with virgin material or relegate it to cosmetic parts. By developing a repeatable process to transform post-c...
Metafuels is moving from lab to production with €1.92M in public funding, positioning its aerobrew process as Europe’s template for sustainable aviation fuel manufacturing at commercial scale.
