Aviation fuel made from air and next-gen hydropower: The best green innovations of February 2021

Every month, numerous eye-catching and potentially transformational innovations are being developed to help businesses and nations turn their green ambitions into actions. Here, we round up six of the best from February 2021.
This month's innovations could have significant environmental benefits for sectors including maritime, aviation and packaging
As February comes to a close, we wave farewell to a month that saw the edie team covering Cumbria County Council's decision to put proposals for a coal mine on hold, Sainsbury's' COP26 sponsorship deal and preparations for this year's Budget from Rishi Sunak.
While mainstream news headlines have, understandably, focused on the UK's roadmap out of lockdown and global progress with Covid-19 vaccines, there have also been major environmental announcements from policymakers and businesses alike. On the former, the UK Government confirmed its post-Brexit plans for emissions trading and its environmental watchdog. On the latter, we saw Ford and Jaguar Land Rover commit to all-electric portfolios as 600+ businesses formed a new climate resilience network.

Sustainable packaging start-up SoluBlue has been awarded the top prize of €500,000 from the Postcode Lotteries Green Challenge.
Hosted by the People’s Postcode Lottery in Britain and its sister lotteries in the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Germany, the competition awards start-ups that successfully combine sustainability, entrepreneurship and creativity to tackle pressing environmental challenges.
Cambridge-based SoluBlue competed against over 650 start-ups from across Europe and will use its prize money to scale up its technology for pilot production among retailers.
The start-up impressed the jury with its seaweed-based packaging, which stops food from rotting by absorbing excess moisture so that packaged food gradually dries, meaning food stays fresh for over 50 per cent longer. According to SoluBlue, the biodegradable packaging is non-toxic and will decompose in a normal household compost bin within eight weeks. Furthermore, the company further claims that the packaging can keep foods – including cheese – fresh and safe for consumption after two years.
