A green turtle comes up for air. Like many air-breathing marine megafauna, green turtles optimise their swim depth during migration to minimise the cost of transport, travelling at around three body-depths beneath the surface in order to avoid creating waves whilst maximising horizontal distance travelled (Picture © R. D. and B. S. Kirkby).

The Supercritical Transformational Electric Power (STEP) Demo pilot plant — a $169 million, 10-megawatt supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) test facility at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio — has generated electricity for the first time. SwRI collaborated with project lead GTI Energy and GE Vernova, the U.S. Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory, and several industry participants to develop the STEP Demo project.
