Exciting news from @axios about @realbellwether’s game-changing electric Shop Roaster! Low-carbon coffee roasting is about to hit cafés near you bringing better tasting coffee without using natural gas. And it’s more cost-effective for cafés - win-win! #impinv
A Bay Area coffee supplier says its new roaster is the first compact, all-electric, ventless coffee roaster for storefront-style settings that helps cut down on air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions.

Kudos to @blkahn and @climate for capturing the crossroads we stand at: Door 1, high-emissions, outdated machines, or Door 2, decarbonized tech of the future – exemplified by @realbellwether's electric coffee roaster. The taste of progress can be as exquisite as our morning brew!
The Tesla of coffee roasters — sleek and all-electric — could upend a $31 billion industry tethered to natural gas

Read here to see how we can turn this around. Thanks to @ewesoff and @CanaryMediaInc for spreading the word on how we can fight fire with fire! (Along with other tech tools, policies and investment…)#impinv
"If wildfires were a country, they’d be ranked No. 4, behind China, the U.S. and India in terms of carbon emissions," @NancyPfundDBL told the audience at a recent Canary Live panel. The growing urgency of this issue has given rise to "firetech" startups:

Across the world, this was the summer of our wildfire discontent. Here, we unpack how innovation, policy & investment can come together to prevent widespread carbon release & destruction, while supporting firefighters, forests & communities. #impinv @rainindustries @mastreforest
The growing field of "firetech" is reinventing the age-old practice of prescribed burns and devising other novel methods of preventing and suppressing fires. Reporting by @ewesoff:
