Helping Build A Sustainable Future For Construction Materials – Sky Quarry’s Innovative Approach To Recycling Shingles, Recovering Oil

Benzinga

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga The structures protecting homes and commercial buildings are significantly contributing to global pollution levels, causing some experts to sound the alarm and call for more sustainable construction materials. Roofing waste is one of the top four construction or demolition materials discarded in landfills, with about 15 million tons of asphalt shingles ending up there annually. When dumped in landfills, shingles can take as long as 300 years to degrade and decompose to base elements. Asphalt shingles are North America's most popular roofing material due in part to their durability and low cost. Nearly six million U.S. homes are reroofed annually, sending asphalt roofing shingles to landfills for disposal. A cleantech company called Sky Quarry, Inc. is actively paving the way toward a potential multi-billion dollar solution for this ongoing waste asphalt shingle (WAS) problem. The company says it plans to revolutionize the construction materials industry by offering a sustainable path forward. A Growing Industry Though the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the construction market and its labor force, the industry is back on track, Fortune Business Insights reports. Valued at more than $1,320 billion in 2023, the global construction materials market size is expected to grow to $1,867 billion by 2032. That growth, driven in part by urbanization, is tied to the overall industry outlook, which forecasts more demand for infrastructure investments in residential and commercial projects. Government-sponsored projects are also expected to be a demand driver. Meanwhile, the roofing market in the U.S. was worth $27.46 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to $42.66 billion by 2033. Construction activities in the United States make up about 4% of the country’s GDP, making the construction material industry an important economic driver. The materials industry, however, is faced with many environmental concerns, and the impact of these materials is increasingly being taken under consideration as the sector grows. The U.S. is poised to run out of room in landfills by 2036; thus, waste will have to be transported further and further out. Construction and demolition waste accounts for over 39% of global carbon emissions, so it is under increasing pressure to become more sustainable as the world population is expected to reach close to 10 billion by 2050. This will cause the demand for housing, office space and other developments to increase. When it comes to roofing specifically, asphalt shingles are valued for their affordability and ease of installation. With a production process that involves the extraction and refining of crude oil, however, asphalt shingles contribute to air and water pollution and have a relatively short lifespan, leading to frequent replacements that generate a considerable amount of waste in landfills. As a result, there is a growing need for sustainable construction methods that minimize environmental impact, as also evidenced by a recent study. Raising awareness among construction stakeholders and the public about waste management and recycling benefits is not only essential for the environment – recyclable products also offer economic and financial benefits. Sky Quarry’s Solution – Targeting Sustainability And Profitability Adopting a more thoughtful approach throughout the construction lifecycle can go a long way in alleviating the environmental issues caused by construction. Sky Quarry, founded to solve the problem created by waste asphalt shingles, does so by utilizing technologies that facilitate the recycling of WAS and remediation of oil-saturated soils. The company says its Waste-to-Energy Solutions convert toxic waste into sustainable oil – recycling finite materials, decreasing landfill waste and reducing harmful emissions in the process. Sky Quarry estimates that with shingles comprised of 25% bitumen oil, plus 9 million tons of sands, aggregate, and other construction solids, this waste stream is the equivalent of dumping 20 million barrels of oil into landfills every year. As such, the company reports that almost all of its revenue from WAS-recovered oil goes straight to the bottom line – marking a key revenue stream beyond the $15-$60 per ton recycling fees paid by waste haulers. Sky Quarry’s Bitumen Extraction Technology feeds post-ground WAS into a mixing bin with the company’s proprietary solvent. WAS is ground into coarse granular chunks, and the nails are removed before the WAS and solvent mixture is agitated into a fluid slurry that dissolves the asphalt bitumen. The solvent makes solids sink while the separated bitumen and solvent mixture rises. The remaining fluid is heated to separate the solvent from the oil, and the clean bitumen flux is sent to storage tanks. The solvent is captured for reuse. Sky Quarry’s Offset Program – Recycling Asphalt On Behalf Of Homeowners Furthering its ability to assist in the industry’s WAS woes, Sky Quarry's Offset Program aims to lessen the footprint of re-roofing projects, ensure waste diversion in line with circular economy principles, while allowing homeowners to reduce their environmental footprint effortlessly. Simply put, Sky Quarry will recycle asphalt shingle waste on homeowners’ behalf. Homeowners can go to the company’s online store and buy the offset for any home in the U.S., with the fees being used to fund the recycling of the exact amount of tonnage that the homeowner is landfilling. “Sky Quarry is proud to be an innovator in the roofing industry – leading the charge for reducing the damage inflicted by depositing these shingles into landfills,” CEO David Sealock said. “This offset program is a unique and valuable way that homeowners can have a beneficial impact on the environment today. In the future, Sky Quarry intends to create a collection network for shingles that spans the US. But in the meantime this offset program is a unique solution as we build out our system.” A leader in the industry, Sky Quarry is proving its skill at bridging sustainability and technology, delivering both environmental and societal benefits to multiple industries.

The Next Wave Of AI? How Hailo’s Edge AI Chips May Help Transform The Industry

OurCrowd

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Artificial intelligence is no longer restricted to big data centers, crunching complex data sets to help businesses increase productivity and improve processes. It is becoming ubiquitous as more use cases for this transformative technology emerge. One only has to look to Microsoft Corp.’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT for evidence. Relying on a large language model, the chatbots enable users to research and write content in seconds. That’s just one example of how AI is becoming more mainstream. “We’re in the IBM mainframe era of AI, with the giant data centers representing a few giant computers that dominated the scene during the mainframe era,” George Gilder, the well-known investment advisor who has often been ahead of trends and predicted the world would shift to a decentralized model, said during a webinar for the community and the Gilder Private Reserve subscribers. “I think AI is going to be in every smartphone and every pocket, and it's going to be distributed through the Internet of Things. It's going to be ubiquitous. It's really a new IO for the new technology platform of the age.” Hailo Sits On The Edge That shift to decentralized AI where it no longer lives in the cloud or isolated in a data center, but rather on the edge, is where Hailo, the Israeli semiconductor startup, is operating. It sees a big opportunity for newcomers like itself to take advantage of the natural progression of AI. “AI is learning from examples, contrary to plastic computers which are just being given a very specific set of rules. It’s kind of intuition versus logic,” Orr Danon, CEO at Hailo, said during an interview portion of the webinar with John Schroeder of the Gilder Private Reserve. “It’s a huge pivot in the kind of technology you need to implement this. It’s an opportunity for a new player to come and emerge and take a significant market share. And that's exactly what we are doing in the company.” It is a big and growing market opportunity. Danon said the global chip market is about $600 billion today and is projected to cross the $1 trillion per annum mark at the end of the decade. Hailo makes AI vision processors and AI accelerator chips designed to accelerate embedded deep learning applications on edge devices. The company’s chips can be embedded in a variety of devices including autonomous vehicles, personal computers, smart cameras, robotics, industrial machinery, healthcare devices, drones and home appliances. Hailo Does It Cheaper While big chip companies like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) are focusing on making AI chips for data centers and cloud computing, Hailo is seeing growing demand for AI chips that sit on the edge, processing the data locally for use with everything from in a variety of devices including autonomous vehicles, personal computers, smart cameras, robotics, industrial machinery, healthcare devices and drones. Hailo says its chips are cheaper, more efficient and only require a few watts for power consumption. In comparison Nvidia's chip requires up to hundreds of watts, Hailo said. “The apps that you run are local. Of course, you use data that is connected to the cloud, but the majority of data crunching is being done locally. And that's exactly what we believe in,” said Danon. “This is very beneficial in terms of power consumption of the communication requirements. If you're doing anything that requires a response quickly, like a car moving and needing to understand what's going on around it, you have to be local.” That means someday these edge AI chips will be able to make everyday devices even smarter whether it is a high-definition camera or a vacuum cleaner. Are you looking for an AI investment that won’t cost a fortune? Check out what the founders of Hailo are doing to revolutionize this transformative technology here. Cloud Will Always Have Its Role That’s not to say there won’t be a need for the cloud when it comes to AI, it’s rather that they will complement each other and evolve. For example, cloud and big data centers will always be needed to train the AI, but when it comes to processing or performing the tasks the AI was trained to do, Hailo believes it will happen locally or on the edge. Danon said since the company launched in 2017, Hailo has seen the majority of AI deployments occurring outside of data centers – and that’s also happening with large language models like ChatGPT. “Over the past few years, we've seen the first wave of AI, which is based on fundamentally machine learning models trained by massive amounts of data,” said Danon. “But now we're seeing the second wave emerge. And that is, generative AI, which we are seeing in things like ChatGPT.” AI is in its infancy, but it’s quickly moving outside of the big data center and into the devices we use every day. That presents a big opportunity for chip makers catering to this area of the market including Hailo. Interested in getting in on a startup before the second wave of AI takes off? Click here.

From Faster Medical Service To Global Crisis Relief – The Potential Of eVTOLs To Usher In A New Future

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga As Countries Battle To Curb Global Emissions, Air Travel Is Under Scrutiny The impact of aviation emissions on climate change is significant, as airplanes burn fossil fuels that release CO2 emissions and other warming non-CO2 effects such as nitrogen oxides (NOx). Unfortunately, emissions from aviation have been growing at an alarming rate. Between 1990 and 2019, aviation emissions more than doubled, surpassing the growth rate of any other mode of transportation. If left unchecked, aviation emissions could double again by 2050 compared to 2019 levels and consume more than 10% of the remaining carbon budget needed to limit global warming to below 1.5°C. In the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft have received attention from the press, the public and investors as a potential solution to help curb global emissions. Companies like New Horizon Aircraft (NASDAQ: HOVR) (“Horizon Aircraft”) are currently developing prototypes that may revolutionize the way we approach air travel. Horizon Aircraft is working on its prototype eVTOL, the Cavorite X7, a unique aircraft designed for longer-range regional passenger, cargo, and special missions. Horizon Aircraft currently has a 50%-scale prototype that has successfully demonstrated hover flight and the company believes it will complete a successful transition flight before the end of Q1 of 2024. Brewing Crises Demand Better Solutions Helicopters have historically been the quickest mode of transportation for hospital transfers in emergencies but eVTOLs are looking like they may be a better alternative. Horizon Aircraft boasts that its product will be able to take off and land like a helicopter and fly almost twice as fast with lower operating costs. Their prototype aircraft is expected to fly at speeds up to 450 km and carry 700 kg of useful load over 800 km. These new aircraft could transport an injured person to the hospital in half the time or deliver critical, lifesaving medication between hospitals quickly and more efficiently than a helicopter. In the last few years, there has also been an uptick in climate-related disasters. In the wake of a hurricane or severe storm that knocks out power, aircraft like the Cavorite X7 could land in any suitable small space and provide aid directly to people in need. Notably, with a hybrid electric power system, this aircraft can recharge itself without the need for a functional electrical grid. Global Congestion Grows As People Migrate To Major Cities With population growth and urbanization on the rise, traffic congestion is becoming a pressing concern for citizens and city planners alike. A recent study conducted in the U.S., France, Germany and the U.K. revealed that road congestion results in up to $200 billion in lost productivity annually. eVTOL aircraft could offer a unique solution to increase efficiency in the air network that transports people and cargo. This increased efficiency may offer significant reductions in air transportation pollution. This transition to better technology is being recognized by the larger investment community; Horizon Aircraft recently published a global study that showed an overwhelming majority (96%) of professional investors understand the increasing global demand for improved transportation systems, coupled with the imperative to reduce the environmental footprint resulting from increased road congestion. The study’s findings included that investors also believe the advancements in technology that demonstrate the safety and feasibility of eVTOL aircraft will catalyze movement in the regulatory landscape and attract substantial investments to the sector within the next five years. Horizon Aircraft Could Be On Track To Be A Leader In The Air Travel Revolution Horizon Aircraft’s technology and leadership have distinguished itself from competitors such as Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) and Lilium NV (NASDAQ: LILM). The company, led by a seasoned former fighter pilot, harnesses the wealth of knowledge accumulated by its professionals with extensive backgrounds in military and commercial aviation. Comprising a dedicated group of engineers, pilots and business specialists, the team at Horizon Aircraft is determined to drive innovation in regional transportation. The future of aviation demands modern-day solutions and cutting-edge technology. Horizon Aircraft seems well-positioned to be a leader in the space. Featured photo by Skyler Smith on Unsplash.
