by Paul Stevers, Co-founder
Climate Solutions Advancement Network (ClimateSAN)
Technology developers:
- Hydrogen Production from Oil and Gas Fields Without CO2 Emissions by Proton Technologies.
- Bioprism Advanced Vertical Farm by Wild + Pine.
Demand for Seedlings:
The demand for tree seedlings is in the many billions – countries and organizations around the world have committed to planting many billions of trees. For example:
