Great new analysis of the significant potential for CDR in urban environments in this nature article nature.com/articles/s4428…

All of this.

Of course technology can solve the problem. It's the only thing that can at the scale required.

These other things are nice to have, and may also make people's lives better, but no amount of them will get emissions to zero.

Every major environmental issue that we've made progress on, i.e., acid rain, ozone hole, etc has been because of 'incremental or tech' solutions.
It's ironic that a certain set of 'climate activists' are bigger hurdles to/opponents of implementing solutions than climate deniers.

yelling 'WE KNOW HOW TO BUILD! HUMANS ARE GOOD AT THINGS ACTUALLY! YOU CAN JUST DO STUFF!' at the top of my lungs until I pass out

tech solutions scale to the scale
of the problem. no single one of them is a silver bullet, but all of them together will remake entire industries to be more productive and more affordable, with radically lower emissions and positive environmental impacts. 4/4

climate activists sure seem to spend a lot of time advocating for very specific forms of non-action.

always 'someone has to do something!' followed by 'wait not that!'

the most insidious form of climate denial is actually the belief that we can't solve the crisis with tech. 1/4

Alongside Carbon Business Council, the DAC Coalition submitted comments to @energy yesterday in response to DOE's RFI on Opportunities to Support Mid-Scale Commercial Direct Air Capture (MSC DAC) Demonstration Facilities.

I’m increasingly convinced that stubborn old climate people pushing tired ideas is nearly as big a threat to progress as incumbent fossil fuel interests

what was it Krishna said to Arjuna about uncle-based carbon removal?

As a lifelong NYer (& registered voter), I know supporting building integrated carbontech is a win-win-win for NYC, the climate, & innovative startups leading the way to advance climate solutions Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal Carl E.

CDR news this morning be like...

Life moves fast in CDR!

All solutions are needed as complementary tools in the race to net zero. Climeworks is leading the charge with the launch of Climeworks Solutions.

They are offering CDR portfolios in addition to their own DAC offerings.

Despite the loud groans of some accounts on this site, carbon removal remains underfunded not over

I'm looking forward to discussing the global #DirectAirCapture deployment at the webinar on 22 April.

We will dig into the challenges together with:

• Chris Sherwood from Negative Emissions Platform
• Jason Hochman from DAC Coalition
• Dr. Julius Wesche from NTNU
• Rodica Avornic from…
