.@AukeHoekstra It seems that something is messed up from when I previously muted your hacked account. Oddly I can see everything you post from my other account, but can't communicate with you.

Anyway, any help with the above is appreciated.

[Planetary Technologies @PlanetaryOps]

.@AukeHoekstra Is this the latest publication from your group with the IEA chart? "Creating Agent-Based Energy Transition Management Models That Can Uncover Profitable Pathways to Climate Change Mitigation”, Auke Hoekstra, et al, Complexity, 28 December, 2017.

Thanks in advance.

@SherpaApollonia @LarameeDe That’s not us.

#German wholesale electricity prices have now fallen most of the way to their pre-war level, and appear to be on a trajectory to continue falling.

Compared to peer European economies, German wholesale electricity prices are trending to the lower end of the distribution.

[Planetary Technologies @PlanetaryOps]

Germany continues its progress toward a cleaner, greener, more efficient economy.

The rise in renewable generation is contemporaneous with 1) an increase in stability of the German grid, 2) an increase in GDP, and 3) a reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions.

Big news from @LumenBio
https://t.co/p0TLsWnqul

[Planetary Technologies @PlanetaryOps]

LMN-201 is the most complex biologic ever developed, composed of three antibodies that neutralize separate domains on the same pathogen protein, along with a lysin that specifically targets C. dificile.

This complexity is only possible due to @LumenBio vast economic advantage.

[Lumen Bioscience @LumenBio]

Lumen Bioscience awarded $16.2 million in DoD funding to advance LMN-201 through late-stage trials.

@sumirkat @PrjGreensand @remoracarbon @CarbonEngineer @MIT @living_carbon 4. Finally, as investors, we don't understand who is going to pay for it. It seems very speculative. We would love to be wrong about this point, but then you still have public acceptance issues.

[Planetary Technologies @PlanetaryOps]

@sumirkat @PrjGreensand @remoracarbon @CarbonEngineer @MIT @living_carbon 3. Add to this our three decades of being around tables for policy discussions about deploying genetically modified organisms, at state, local, and international levels, and we are not optimistic about public acceptance of large scale chemical modification.

[Planetary Technologies @PlanetaryOps]

@sumirkat @PrjGreensand @remoracarbon @CarbonEngineer @MIT @living_carbon That is a different company, and for what it is worth we are skeptical of the commercial and political viability this solution.

.@LumenBio is the inaugural winner of the $1.5 million @WilkesCenter Climate Prize!

Lumen Bioscience's proposal would drastically reduce methane emissions from cattle—which contribute 25% of global warming—using a patented mixture of enzyme proteins.

@LumenBio @Finrow And here is a story on CNN about @LumenBio and winning the Wilkes Climate Prize for its proposal to reduce methane emissions from cattle.

[Planetary Technologies @PlanetaryOps]

Congratulations to @LumenBio for winning the inaugural Wilkes Climate Prize!

Lumen beat 77 international teams with their proposal to drastically reduce methane emissions from dairy and beef cattle using proteins grown in Spirulina to target methanogens.

Congrats Mark and Nhi (@LumenBio) for winning the Wilkes Climate Prize!

A simple protein cattle feed additive—scalable and cheaply made with Lumen technology—may be a solution to bovine enteric methane, a leading anthropogenic greenhouse gas source.

In which @biopraxis announces that @Arzeda's first commercial product, a sweetener produced from stevia using engineered enzymes, will hit the market in Q4. We love it when portfolio companies ship product!
