Could Taking Carbon Out of The Sea Cool Down The Planet?
Getty Images A ground-breaking project to suck carbon out of the sea has started operating on England’s south coast. The small pilot scheme, known as SeaCURE, is funded by the UK government as part of its search for technologies that fight climate change. There’s broad consensus among climate scientists that the overwhelming priority is to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the chief cause of global warming. But many scientists also believe that part of the solution will have to involve […] -
Food Waste Becomes a Powerful Carbon Trap in Climate Breakthrough

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Scientists at #ETHZurich in #Switzerland turned leftover #proteins from #tofu and #cheese production into tiny beads that trap #CO2 from the #air.
The beads work at room temperature, can be reused many times, and when they eventually wear out they can become fertilizer or #biofuel – all while outperforming existing #carboncapture #technology.

DAC doesn’t scale on chemistry. It scales on power.
West Texas: 500 MW solar ↔ STRATOS (500k t/yr). The question: can carbon removal scale without cannibalizing clean electricity?

CW: Online event 12th June about "Soil health and EU competitiveness"
I received this invitation. (comments at the end)
------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,The first part of the 5th EUSO Stakeholders Forum will be an online event on 12th June, focussing on the topic "Soil health and EU competitiveness". During this event, case studies from the private sector will show how healthy soils can promote competitiveness in terms of the three pillars:
a) closing the innovation gap
b) decarbonisation and competitiveness
c) reducing excessive dependenciesThe event includes presentations from the biotechnology sector, agribusiness, banking-financial sector, remediation industry, start-ups, carbon farming, development of clean products and retail industry.
More information as Agenda, Speakers and Registration can be found in the page:

Kind Regards,
Panos PANAGOS, PhD.Scientific/Research Officer
Project Leader of EU Soil Observatory (EUSO)-----------------------------------
My thoughts:
Ok, we need urgently more awareness about soils. We need more #OrganicAgriculture, #RegenerativeAgriculture, #AgroecologicalTransition, #CommunitySupportedAgriculture and much more. What we *definitely* don't need, is a meeting with NOT A SINGLE FARMER, but people from Syngenta, Bayer, Nestlé and a bunch of other industry representatives to allow them to show that they are trying soo hard to protect our environment while they do everything they can to sabotage meaningful policy changes. Venture capital funded Start-ups and old villains are definitely not the structural change the agrifood-system needs.Maybe it will still be an informative event, who knows.
Thank you for listening.

In the absence of a #ZeroEmission grid,
I'm fairly sure energy use in the production process of this material would negate most of (if not all) the #CarbonCapture potential. But it does offer a demonstration experiment on #weathering feedback one can do with #students on a reasonable time scale... Even if I don't see a significant boon here for #ClimateChange mitigation.

A court case over a plan to store carbon in the #GreatArtesianBasin aquifer is off after an agreement was reached. The federal government and #Glencore were to face #AgForce in Federal Court over the #carboncapture scheme blocked by a #Queensland government ban. AgForce now aims for policy change at the federal level. Bravo Queensland Premier #stevemiles #auspol #DriestcontinentonEarth #water #WaterConvention

#Occidental's #1PointFive to sell #carboncredits to #Microsoft
#1PointFive is the #carboncapture, utilization and sequestration unit of #oil and #gas firm #OccidentalPetroleum. The agreement is a part of Microsoft's goal to become carbon negative by 2030. 1PointFive will sell the tech giant 500,000 metric tons of #carbondioxide removal (#CDR) credits over six years.

Clayoquot Sound's 'war in the woods' battlegrounds to be permanently protected
An agreement with two Vancouver Island First Nations will protect about 760 square kilometres of Crown land in Clayoquot Sound by establishing 10 new conservancies in areas that include old-growth forests and unique ecosystems

Environmentalists reject British Columbia NDP Government's claim of ‘unprecedented’ old-growth deferral
Wilderness Committee accuses government of stall tactic while logging continues
>>> This government is definitely in Talk and Extract mode, while subsidizing forestry, oil, gas & coal

@florianaigner Was soll deiner Meinung nach dazu geforscht werden?
Es ist doch längst klar: Die billigste und energieeffizienteste Möglichkeit von #CarbonCapture ist bei der #Biomethan aufbereitung, weil da fällt CO2 in hoher Reinheit als Nebenprodukt an. Die gleichen Technologien kann man natürlich auch auf Abgase anwenden, nur ist das teurer als den Prozess selbst umzustellen. Mit wenig Perspektive auf Verbesserung.
Ich unterstütze dein Anliegen, aber sehe keine offene Forschungsfrage.

#Oil Company Building First Large-Scale #CarbonCapture Plant in Order to Keep Drilling
Critics of the carbon capture approach to cooling down the planet say such plants will only prolong our reliance on carbon fuels. To which #OccidentalPetroleum says, uh, yeah, that’s kind of the point.

Mit Carbon Capture and Usage (CCU) soll CO₂ in neue Produkte verwandelt werden. Doch eine Studie bescheinigt den meisten Verfahren eher schlechte Bilanzen.
