Today marks an exciting step forward for India’s aviation future as @PawanHansLtd and Norway’s Noemi Aerospace have signed an MoU to explore cooperation in electric seaplane technologies.
Global technology partnerships combined with India’s growing manufacturing capability can unlock new opportunities for sustainable regional connectivity.
Our vision is not only to operate seaplanes, but to build them in India, guided by Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s Make in India vision.

Great to see this conversation with Noemi Aerospace moving forward and reaching the MoU stage with @PawanHansLtd !
Hello Noemi Aerospace! India is ready to partner up!
The future of aviation will also be defined by how we connect the last island, the last coastal village and remote communities in a cleaner and smarter way. That is why conversations around electric seaplanes are so important. Encouraging to see innovators looking towards India’s skies.

Elfly Group’s Erik Lithun is betting on India’s vast coastline, islands, and remote regions for the future of all-electric seaplane connectivity. With the Noemi seaplane, India could leap toward cleaner, greener regional air travel.

It’s time for THE charger.
Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.
It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need.

A report by a Dutch consultancy company concludes that a nuclear powered cargo ship would cost less than one powered by very low sulphur fuel oil, or by green ammonia. Article link in reply.
The nuclear option would have other benefits, such as faster speed, longer range, and no carbon (or pollution!) emissions.
The capital cost of a nuclear ship would be higher, but that is more than offset by lower operation costs (mainly not having to buy fuel oil or green ammonia fuel). This is especially true given the long life of the nuclear ship and the reactor.

A fertility rate below 1.6 means 50% less new people after three generations, say 100 years. Below 1.2 means an 80% drop.
The U.S. is at 1.64. China, Japan, Poland, Spain all below 1.2. South Korea is at 0.7—96% drop.
Mass extinction numbers.

Rekordstor andel elektrisk bilsalg: Hele 96,6 prosent elbiler av nyregistrerte personbiler i Vestland fylke siste måned! Nasjonalt var andelen 94,3 prosent elbil i august. Det nærmer seg 100 prosent elektrisk av nybilsalget.

A new paper estimates that Chernobyl cost 318 million life years by discouraging the construction of nuclear plants and thus increasing air pollution. If we conservatively estimate life expectancy at 80 years, that's about 4 million lives.

Hvordan klimabevegelsen ble lurt av oljebransjen til å bli motstandere av atomkraft, og dermed saboterte oss fra å i dag være utslippsfrie😔
De eldre i atomkraftutvalget er offer for denne svertekampanjen som har gjort dem vettaskremte for atomkraft.

Hydrovolt i Fredrikstad gjenvinner over 90 prosent av materialene i brukte elbilbatterier. Slik kan det produseres nye batterier med 75 prosent lavere karbonavtrykk enn om materialene kom fra tradisjonell gruvedrift.

When climate scientists say that CO₂ emissions have plateaued, they are not saying that CO₂ is no longer going up, but rather that the rate at which it is going up is no longer increasing. That appears to be true, as of 2021.
Then again. La Niña & Covid.
