hello world

It's time to include time scale in carbon credits.

🕳️ Gap 12 [Biomass preservation methods] Assessing the feasibility of different preservation methods for (waste) biomass and development of MRV 🗣️ Talk to: Carbon Lockdown Ning Zeng @MorganReedRave Paul Reginato Dan Sanchez Robert Höglund 📚 Read: cbmjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Soon they will be buried underground for durable sequestration...

Last week, C180 shared this chart on CDR, solar, and wind. Scale-up feels more reasonable, in context 📈 Our World in Data goes even further: a recap of all tech🤯 Good reminder that things that once seemed impossible happened rapidly (and recently!) if we zoom out a little.

Carbon Lockdown - woody biomass burial fun fact: when carbon prices are over $120 a ton, wood burial becomes the most valuable use of wood. 😯

Huge bipartisan opp to deliver significant agronomic + economic benefit to U.S. farmer, ranchers, foresters via incorporation of novel climate-smart practices into the 2023 Farm Bill. It was a pleasure to work on the 👇with Ben Rubin Bella Corpora + Carbon Business Council members

CLP Founder + UMD Atmos&Ocean Sci Professor Dr. Ning Zeng will be presenting the science and technology behind WHS + Wood Vault for long-duration carbon removal to the USDA Climate Hubs 3p ET this Fri May 12.

📢📢📢 Excited to share the news of CLP's first sale of long-duration CDR via the Wood Vault methodology -- our 1Kt Project Potomac Demo 🪵🪵🪵 Very pleased to be working with our new friends at Kinnevik AB, and grateful for their trust and support 🙏🙏🙏 kinnevik.com/newsroom/stori…

Carbon Lockdown – a public benefit corporation created to commercialize and advance sustainable carbon sequestration through #WoodHarvesting and storage (WHS) – announced its first sale of 1,000 tons of #CarbonRemoval to investment group Kinnevik AB. bit.ly/3D3NbxA

👏👏👏 Including insightful process-level considerations for Wood Harvesting and Storage (p50)

🔖🪵💡Important study from our friends at Yale Carbon Containment Lab. TLDR: hundreds of Mts of overstocked woody biomass in the western U.S. alone, with 1+Gt BiCRS potential this decade. Sustainable sourcing remains a key challenge--let's get to work!! carboncontainmentlab.yale.edu/documents/efi_…

ENSO-related warming increases through Northern Hemisphere winter (which is what we are seeing). Warming due to increased solar insolation (e.g. decreased aerosol masking in North Atlantic) would peak during Northern Hemisphere summer and decline (which is NOT what we're seeing).

The use of biomass for carbon removal is an understandably fraught topic. Today Frontier published a set of high-level sustainable biomass sourcing principles that will help us navigate the complicated landscape of biomass-based CDR projects: frontierclimate.com/assets/biomass…
