It's Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., and the six sustainability stories we've selected to share this week represent two front-line tours of the energy transition frontier. First: A virtual tour of emerging technologies—from flow batteries to molecular recycling to biomanufacturing. Second, a very current report tour from the front lines of key industry events our editors covered during this fall events season.

If society's larger goals of a net-zero future are to be achieved, industry must contribute substantial progress on the hundreds of initiatives currently taking shape as well as hundreds more yet to come. Here's thanks to all those on front lines, whether their contributions are felt tomorrow or sometime further down the line.
