Big Tech’s data centres are now soaking up the world’s best carbon credits – durable carbon removal like DAC, biochar & BECCS – and creating a supply crunch for everyone else.

ohh.
Compost & Biochar Could Boost Carbon Sequestration by Crushed Rock
Crushed rock additives may also help decrease soil emissions of other greenhouse gases, such as nitrous oxide & methane. https://eos.org/research-spotlights/compost-and-biochar-could-boost-carbon-sequestration-by-crushed-rock [science mag]Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a proposed method of CO2 #sequestration that spreads crushed silicate minerals on soils to drive chemical reactions that form carbonate minerals: Essentially, boosting the natural process of rock weathering, in which carbon is transferred from the atmosphere into rocks.
Researchers spread finely crushed metabasaltic rocks across test plots in Browns Valley CA in each of 3 yrs. Along with crushed rock, some applications included compost or a combination of compost & #biochar. Other plots were treated with only compost, & a group of control plots received no treatment.
Combining crushed rock, compost, & biochar yielded the best results; in addition to sequestering carbon, the mixture reduced NOx emissions & increased methane conversion, resulting in increased greenhouse gas mitigation overall. The researchers estimate that if the combination of all three materials were expanded to cover 8% of California’s total rangelands, it could sequester up to 51.7 million metric tons of CO2e per year.
___CA Ag Sector emissions are 32 million metric tons [including cow farts]. CA total emissions are 381 million metric tons. If 58% of rangeland were covered, we would become carbon neutral.

✅ #Kaffeesatz für stärkeren #Beton? #Forscher in Australien haben herausgefunden, dass durch das #Pyrolysieren von Kaffeesatz bei 350 °C ein #Biochar entsteht, das Beton um 30 % robuster macht.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652623023636
Damit könnten jährlich 10 Milliarden kg #Kaffeeabfall sinnvoll genutzt und #Sandabbau reduziert werden.
Na dann, Prösterchen.☕🧱

Even cement likes coffee
Organic products like coffee grounds can't be added directly to concrete because they leak chemicals that weaken the building material's strength. So using low energy levels the team heated coffee waste to over 350 °C (around 660 °F) while depriving it of oxygen.

Because I adore things like this. 😊
"We could be producing #concrete that's 30 percent stronger by processing and adding charred #CoffeeGrounds to the mix, researchers in #Australia discovered."
Every year the world produces a staggering 10 billion kilograms (22 billion pounds) of #coffee #waste globally. Most ends up in #landfills."
This could be the answer to so many problems at once: how to dispose of #OrganicWaste / #FoodWaste, reduce contributions to #landfill sites (& the accompanying #GreenhouseGases produced as it decays), reduce the extraction of #sand from river beds & banks around the world, thus preserving our finite natural resources, and so much more.
"The researchers cautioned that they still need to assess the long term durability of their cement product. They're now working on testing how the hybrid coffee-cement performs under freeze/thaw cycles, water absorption, abrasions and many more stressors" - but still, it's exciting! 😃

#CapitalRegionalDistrict board has come up with a strategy for dealing with the end product of the region’s #SewageTreatment process that will make a priority of using the resulting #biosolids for #fuel.
Last week, the board moved forward a three-tiered approach that will form the heart of the #CRD’s long-term biosolids management plan to be submitted for #BCgovernment approval next month.

So much YES. Would love to connect with fellow enthusiasts and professionals working in the field, and engage more actively, bringing in my own expertise of working in high end interiors and architecture. If that's you, please reach out, boost, connect.
We OBVIOUSLY can't 'keep on keeping on' and design our built environment like we don't know how fundamentally flawed our design principles and construction methods are.
Let's embrace new aesthetics and look forward, not back. Bauhaus was relevant at the time, it's history now. Let's move on. Let's question every single choice in the design process and make better decisions. Educate our clients. Throw those outdated concepts overboard of what is aesthetically pleasant, what is deemed high-end.
Nobody will enjoy marbled lobbies, airconditioned greenhouse towers and concrete buildings on a dead planet. The future is now. Let's design and build it together!

TIL - Sewer sludge (euphemistically called #biosolids by many cities) can be turned into #biochar via #pyrolysis.
If the pyrolysis happens at >600C for >10 minutes, the resulting biochar will be free of #microplastics, #PFAs, pathogens, and pharmaceuticals - all of which could continue to be a problem when you just #compost sewer sludge.
And... the #phosphorous is retained in the biochar, meaning it'll be a fertilizer in addition to the other biochar benefits.
