Hey fellow impactful ninja ?

You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.

  • Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.

  • But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.

Why do we add these product links?

First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.

And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.

What do these affiliate links mean for you?
  1. First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.

  3. And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.

What do these affiliate links mean for us?
  1. When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).

  3. And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.

What does this mean for me personally?

You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.

Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

Stay impactful,

1️⃣ The big picture: Baker Hughes and Woodside Energy have joined forces to accelerate the adoption of clean energy technology in power generation. Their partnership centers on NET Power’s innovative system that enables natural gas plants to operate with near-zero emissions through an advanced carbon capture process. By combusting natural gas in pure oxygen rather than air, the technology achieves remarkably high carbon capture rates while maintaining power generation efficiency. This collaboration brings together Baker Hughes’ exclusive rights to NET Power’s small-scale platform with Woodside Energy’s expertise in energy infrastructure.

2️⃣ Why is this good news: Power companies can now generate electricity from natural gas while capturing almost all carbon emissions, providing a practical path to decarbonization. The technology maintains efficiency and cost-effectiveness, making it an attractive solution for industries that rely on natural gas. Wide adoption of this system could dramatically reduce emissions from power generation worldwide. By proving the commercial viability of near-zero emission power plants, this partnership accelerates the transition to cleaner energy without sacrificing reliability.

3️⃣ What’s next: Baker Hughes and Woodside Energy will begin testing and validating NET Power’s technology for industrial applications. Success in initial trials could lead to broader implementation across various sectors. The partners will focus on scaling up the technology while maintaining its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Their combined expertise positions them to overcome technical challenges and drive widespread adoption of this clean energy solution.
