It is telling that COVID-19 is not the biggest challenge that the aviation industry currently faces. The long-term effects are uncertain, but some analysts believe that the aftershock of the pandemic will persistently reduce aviation demand growth. Nevertheless, COVID did not challenge the basic foundations of the passenger aviation industry. Climate change does.

Concrete is second only to water as the most consumed substance in the world. The cement industry accounts for approximately 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Building our world’s living spaces and infrastructures destroys our environment and kills our chance at a future.

Climate change has already impacted the way we live, how we do business, and more. Fighting it is an existential imperative — and investing in food waste reduction solutions is a core approach for doing so.

Using Eos’ technology, utilities can rely on cleaner and a more efficient energy mix by storing excess energy produced during off-peak hours and discharging the stored energy back to the grid during peak hours. The main environmental advantages of Eos’ battery is its recyclability and avoidance of rare earth materials.
