Our weekly climate digest comes out every Tuesday and has links to everything you need to read, watch and listen to to stay up-to-date on climate tech. Sign up and get tomorrow's digest that includes links to a primer on SAFs from Ben James, a video tour of Commonwealth Fusion Systems' SPARC facility, and exciting announcements from Isometric, Frontier Climate, and Equatic.tech.

Explore the essential areas of our SPARC facility with Alex Creely, Commonwealth Fusion Systems' Director of Tokamak Operations. Look behind the scenes at where we're building our SPARC fusion energy device, see our recent construction progress, and understand the key aspects of each section of the facility. ✔️ Operations Building: Generates data critical to optimize our SPARC tokamak and plan its successor, the ARC fusion power plant that'll generate fusion energy for the electrical grid. ✔️ RF Building: Houses equipment that will use radio frequency waves to heat the plasma inside SPARC. This  building also houses the Assembly Hall, where all the SPARC components will arrive. ✔️ Tokamak Hall: The home of our SPARC fusion energy device. A life-size illustration of the tokamak is on the wall. ✔️ Utility Building: An industrial space to handle fusion heat from SPARC. It also contains the cryogenic system to keep SPARC's magnets cold. #Fusion #Manufacturing #EnergyTransition

Calling all AI builders - we're teaming up with OpenAI and Crusoe to host Hacking for Clean Energy, an AI hackathon focused on accelerating the scale up of renewable energy. Mark your calendars for June 28-29 in San Francisco. Thousands of clean energy projects are bogged down by permitting, paperwork, and process. AI and software hold the key to unblocking these bottlenecks. We'll be accepting 100 AI engineers, designers, and product leaders to develop novel AI-powered solutions that can do just that. Want to hear straight from the source on the issues? We've confirmed speakers from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), who will be hosting a public discussion on the problems in the space. Several experts from the national labs will also be joining us to share the latest on a new AI data corpus. Thanks to Crusoe, we'll be awarding $3K in cash to the winning team, who will have a chance to share their project to top venture capitalists, engineering leaders, journalists, and a visiting congressional delegation. Apply below or tag someone in the thread that you think should. Hope to see you next month!
