Fortera is pioneering a CO2 neutral cement that might be able to synergize with Icon's construction method. forteraglobal.com/recarb-plant/

Icon's compelling construction approach uses an articulated nozzle to 3D print concrete architecture. Pairing this to integrated mechanical system pods (IMSPs) could improve the total cost & sustainability via modular, all-in-one utilities for green, affordable homes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=orur...

Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistry rises to 38% of the battery energy share in 2024 due to its improved safety, lower cost, lower toxicity, long cycle life & importantly lack of unethically-sourced cobalt minerals. The only trade off is a slightly lower power discharge rate. (adamasintel.com)

Globally, since 2017, electric vehicle sales are ascendant and combustion vehicle sales are in terminal decline. Do you want to join a growing business or a shrinking one?
