VORTEX Wind Power

VORTEX

VORTEX is a small team based in Spain, in the middle of a 10-15 years journey of development and production from the idea to the end-product of a revolutionary way of wind power.   Vortex devices are quite simple in concept and allow for an easy manufacturing, installation and operation. There is a fixed base and a cylindrical mast that oscillates freely perpendicular to the wind direction, jointed by a carbon rod. Inner parts never collide with each other, but interact to generate electricity. Power is produced from resonant vibrations when wind passes through the turbine and is deflected into vortices in a process called vortex shedding. This technology might replace previous solar electricity installations, such as low-power systems, off-grid generation, autonomous systems, and increase the distributed generation of electricity. The turbines

Biogas Generator

100% Green

100% Green’s “Green Gas” (also known as biogas) comes from a process called Anaerobic Digestion. Bacteria breaks down organic waste such as animal manure, wastewater biosolids, and food waste in the absence of oxygen. Biogas is green from the source meaning no fossil-fuels need to be offset. Whilst ‘carbon neutral’ gas (i.e. offset gas) is not a bad thing, the benefit to the environment is not always immediate. Buying green gas directly supports a sustainable process that is kind to our planet. Biogas is upgraded to become biomethane which can be put into the national grid and used to heat our homes in the same way that natural gas is. It’s how the gas is created that makes it ‘green’ and better for our planet. 100%

World Financial Inequality

World Inequality Report 2026

The World Inequality Report 2026 provides an alternative to climate breakdown, political extremism and economic tensions. Humanity can raise living standards, reduce inequality and keep global heating within a 2C rise. The report comcludes that inequality is a political choice. It is the result of our policies, institutions, and governance structures. The costs of escalating inequality are clear: widening divides, fragile democracies, and a climate crisis borne most heavily by those least responsible. But the possibilities of reform are equally clear. Where redistribution is strong, taxation is fair, and social investment is prioritized, inequality narrows. The tools exist. The challenge is political will. The choices we make in the coming years will determine whether the global economy continues down a path of extreme concentration or

Gabbro Igneous Rock

Brimstone

Brimstone are reinventing how the world makes construction materials such as Cement. Aluminum. Steel. The industries that built civilization haven’t innovated in decades. Brimstone is changing that — and creating the next generation of heavy industry. Brimstone was founded in 2019 to solve a hard problem: how to make the materials the world relies on—cement, steel, aluminium, and other critical minerals — more efficiently, sustainably, and at lower cost. For centuries, these materials have been produced separately, each requiring its own feedstock, factory, and process. But Brimstone developed a breakthrough solution: co-production. This proven industrial strategy uses a single feedstock – GABRO IGNEOUS ROCK – and shared equipment to manufacture multiple products at once. It lowers costs per product, eliminates waste, and multiplies revenue. Co-production
