The company is using technology developed at the University of Colorado at Boulder that harnesses carbon-consuming microalgae from the sea for producing limestone. Microsoft and Amazon are likewise writing checks to startups developing green processes for manufacturing steel, another essential construction material with a big carbon impact.

Batteries — from a Duracell AA all the way to a Tesla lithium-ion battery capable of holding approximately 100 kWh — store energy chemically, and can convert it to usable electricity. Better superconducting materials, then, or ones requiring much less cooling, could bring us closer to fusion reactors that generate net power.
