While many have dreamed of flying taxis capable of beating everyday traffic, no such systems currently exist. Of course, private helicopters can be used for rapid transport, but they are often limited to where they can land, and their high price makes them only suitable for the most wealthy. However, one company, Archer Aviation, plans to change this with the introduction of their own vertical take-off taxi vehicles, and a recent business investment will help the company produce 2,300 units annually.

Radical decarbonization tools - TODAY

  Radical decarbonization tools Deep tech climate startups can radically decarbonize our industries by leveraging two superpowers: 1) science and 2) entrepreneurship. While science provides impactful breakthroughs, entrepreneurship enables their fast implementation for tackling the climate crisis. Deep tech climate startups have already developed ways to grow steaks without an animal ( Mosa Meat ,   Aleph Farms ), build electric airplanes ( Heart Aerospace ), invent multi-day energy storage ( Antora Energy ,   Form Energy ), and develop plastic-eating enzymes ( Epoch BioDesign ,   Beworm ). There are two areas where I believe deep tech startups can make an outsized climate impact: #1. Decarbonizing hard-to-abate manufacturing sectors Concrete, steel, and other manufacturing industries (e.g., plastics and chemicals) form the backbone of our modern society. These industries make up   20% of global greenhouse gas emissions   and, unfortunately, are all   ...
