Woodside Finances Innovative Cold Plasma Project Led by Rice, With Potential for Application in Emerging Technologies and Production of Derived Products. Global Leader.

Rice University and Woodside Energy have formed a partnership aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing low-carbon solutions. Woodside’s investment of US$ 12.5 million will fund the establishment of the Woodside-Rice Decarbonization Accelerator, an initiative focused on bringing innovative decarbonization technology developed in Rice’s laboratories to market.

The Accelerator aims to promote the commercialization of technologies focused on manufacturing products from captured carbon dioxide and methane. Rice University is exploring cold plasma technology, a unique approach to breaking down carbon dioxide in order to develop materials to enhance batteries, transistors, and other energy technologies.

Collaboration in Cold Plasma Technology to Achieve Climatic Goals

‘Net Zero is not a destination, but a journey. Over the next 10 years, emerging and innovative technologies need to reach the market if society wants to meet its climate goals’, stated Woodside CEO, Meg O’Neill. ‘We are proud to work with a world-class university like Rice to help tackle this challenge.’

Cold Plasma Technology: An Innovative Solution

Woodside’s Executive Vice President of Technical Services, Daniel Kalms, emphasized the importance of the new collaboration based in Houston. ‘Houston, as the global energy capital, is perfectly positioned to help develop the innovative technologies needed for the energy transition. Rice is a great institution in Houston with a long history as a global leader in all energy matters. This collaboration fits perfectly with Woodside as a global leader in energy.’

Construction
A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Science and Technology
Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Construction
China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.
