Here's a nice column in the @financialtimes.com on our portfolio company SunTrain and #Trainsmission, shipping electrons in batteries by rail.

We can connect generation and customers 5-10 years faster by rail than by building new wires.

Let's roll.

Congratulations to portfolio company @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 by targeting methanogens using proteins grown in Spirulina.

Congratulations to portfolio company Industrial Microbes @iMicrobesInc on securing a grant to scale up production of a process that turns waste (ethanol, methanol, and CO2) into widely used plastics!

Another step towards displacing petrochemicals using biology.
