  • He cleaned a lagoon… with bubbles
    Oct 9 2025

    He cleaned a lagoon… with bubbles


    Meet Marino Morikawa, a Peruvian nanoscientist.

    When his father called to say the lagoon of his childhood—El Cascajo—had become a dump, Marino left his lab in Japan and flew home.


    Using ultra-fine nanobubbles (≈50–100 nm) made with hardware-store parts, he built a natural, chemical-free system that traps pollutants and bacteria:


    Inject nanobubbles into the water


    As they rise slowly, their ionic charge attracts contaminants


    Biofilters with native microorganisms trap and break them down—no chemicals, no disruption to the ecosystem


    Results:

    ✔️ In 13 months, the water was drinkable again

    ✔️ In 3 years, migratory birds returned


    Today, Marino’s mission:

    💧 Ultra-effective, low-cost decontamination with zero chemicals

    🌍 Active projects at Lake Titicaca and desert oases affected by wastewater from 1.5M+ people

    🌱 100 ecosystems restored by 2030, in partnership with local communities


    This is deep climate tech in action: simple physics, local biology, real impact.


    Would you deploy this in your city?

  • This city ski slope heats and powers 150,000 people—by burning their trash.
    Oct 6 2025

    This city ski slope heats and powers 150,000 people—by burning their trash.
    It sits on top of Copenhagen’s waste-to-energy plant, CopenHill.

    In the late 2000s, the city wanted to shut down coal but still had 440,000 tons of non-recyclable waste to deal with every year.
    Instead of burying or exporting it, they turned it into energy.

    The challenge: build an incinerator that’s clean, efficient, and embraced by locals.
    Danish architects BIG—Bjarke Ingels Group proposed something radical: make it visible, fun, educational, and a true public place.

    Enter CopenHill (opened 2017): a sharp, industrial building with high-performance filters to limit emissions.
    On the roof: a 400 m ski slope, an 85 m climbing wall, hiking trails, and a 10,000 m² green roof.

    It reflects Copenhagen’s ambition to lead on urban sustainability.
    CopenHill doesn’t hide waste. It shows it, treats it, and transforms it.

    Today, CopenHill =
    ♻️ 440,000 tons of waste transformed each year
    🏠 Heat & power for 150,000 residents
    🌱 A green roof, sports, and public space on top of an industrial plant

    Would you ski on a power plant?

  • 3 Weeks, 100+ Homes: Inside the Largest 3D-Printed Neighborhood
    Sep 25 2025

    In Georgetown (USA), a full 3D-printed neighborhood is coming online—fast. Not a concept render: real homes, printed on-site, then finished with solar + smart energy controls.

    Why it matters
    • Speed: printed in about 3 weeks for the shell phase
    • Less waste: additive construction = minimal material offcuts
    • Energy positive potential: solar panels + smart thermostats to shrink bills and emissions
    • Repeatable: scalable playbook for resilient, affordable housing
    Climate & circularity

    3D printing cuts concrete use via optimized forms, reduces truck rolls, and accelerates near-zero waste builds. Pair with low-carbon mixes and rooftop PV to push toward net-positive neighborhoods.

    Open questions for builders
    • What’s the embodied carbon vs. traditional builds?
    • Can we swap to low-carbon cement or geopolymer mixes at scale?
    • How do we finance community-level storage to bank daytime solar?
