LanzaTech's Steelanol plant ships ethanol made from steel-mill emissions at 80M litres a year. The carbon-recycling convergence is now commercial, but the margin still depends on policy.
Etched's $21B August raise makes it the most valuable AI-chip startup with no shipped revenue. We assess whether transformer-only silicon is a durable wager or a narrow one.
Vingroup’s VinSpace signed a SpaceX launch contract for its first home-built satellites, flying on a Transporter rideshare mission in Q2 2027. The deal is the clearest sign yet that Vietnam’s space ambitions are being financed by its biggest private conglomerate, not the state.
