The adoption of natural climate solutions by farmers, such as cover cropping, avoiding grassland conversion, and improving nutrient use efficiency contributes to climate change mitigation, while also producing environmental and societal co-benefits. Scaling natural climate solutions in agriculture is increasingly being explored as a critical component in achieving net-zero targets. Recently, Nature United published a […]

Helical steel piles are commonly used structural elements that anchor building foundations deep in the soil. Recently, it has been demonstrated that they can be used as ground heat exchangers with ground source heat pumps (GSHPs). These dual use geo-piles (structural and thermal) have the potential to significantly reduce GSHP installation costs, leading to greater […]
