Michael Finus's project "The Governance Architecture of Climate Agreements in the Light of #SolarRadiation" analyzed "how #GeoEngineering in the form of #SRM, associated with the potential of high collateral damages, affects the governance architecture of climate agreements."
1/ ImageImage
This project "clarify under which conditions signatories to a climate agreement can avoid that non-signatories deploy risky #geoengineering."
2/ Image
This study also "correct & qualify the results of Millard-Ball (2012): not only must collateral damages be above but also below a threshold so as the threat to deploy #geoengineering can stabilize a climate agreement on reducing #GHG."

🚨PAPER🚨

A recent study funded by @DegreesNGO, executed by @peteirvine & others aims "to assess the impact of #SAG on Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the Gulf of Guinea & its causes using GLENS simulations performed under high anthropogenic emission scenario (RCP8.5)."

"Study focus on two dynamically different regions:
🔸Sassandra Upwelling in Côte d’Ivoire (SUC, located east of Cape Palmas)
🔸Takoradi Upwelling in Ghana (TUG, located east of Cape Three Points)"
2/8 Image
Results show that "in the SUC region, under climate change, there is an increase in SST (referred to as the current climate) all year long (by 1.52 °C on average) mainly due to an < in net heat flux (lead by the > in longwave radiation) & also in weak vertical mixing."

🚨NEW PAPER 🚨

"The energy-intensive nature of CO2 absorption-desorption processes has restricted deployment of #DAC operations. So, catalytic solvent regeneration is a valid solution to tackle this case by accelerating CO2 desorption at lower regeneration temperatures."

The new work reports "a one-step synthesis methodology to prepare monodispersed #carbon nanospheres (MCSs) using trisodium citrate as a structure-directing agent with acidic sites."

"The assembly of citrate groups on the surface of MCSs enables consistent spherical growth morphology, reduces agglomeration & enhances H2O dispersibility. The functionalization-assisted synthesis produces uniform hydrophilic nanospheres of 100–600nm range."

🚨 PAPER 🚨

A viable & novel formula for a #CarbonNegative, environmentally friendly #concrete that is nearly as strong as regular concrete has been developed recently at Washington State University.

#Concrete
#Biochar
#CarbonSequestration

*Summary* in a🧵 below:
1/6 Image
🧫 Researchers exemplify "a synergistic C-capture strategy, i.e., using #concrete washout water & #biochar together to achieve carbon-negative concrete."

"This strategy enabled the biochar to #capture 22.85 wt% air-borne CO2, which precipitated CaCO3 onto the biochar."
2/6 Image
🔬"This carbon-negative cement paste consisted of 30 wt% CO2-weathered #biochar and 70 wt% portland limestone #cement, which achieved the 7-day and 28-day compressive strengths of 22.1 MPa and 27.6 MPa, respectively," microscopic investigation revealed.

🚨THESIS🚨
An analysis of published data exploring the effects of high pH on #phytoplankton growth rate & experimental assessment of pH dependence of viability & growth rate was used in a "lately published thesis" to assess potential impacts of #OceanAlkalinityEnhancement.
🧵
1/4 ImageImage
📉 The results from this study suggest that there will be no significant impact on the viability or growth rates of Thalassiosira pseudonana or Pavlova lutheri with short-term (10-minute) exposure to elevated #pH
#OAE
2/4 ImageImageImage
However, when long-term (days) exposure occurs there is a significant decrease in growth rates with high pH. Short-term exposure is predicted to more closely mirror the natural systems in which #OAE will be implemented because of system flushing & replenishment of nutrients.

🚨REVIEW PAPER🚨
#Hydrogen, a green energy carrier, is one of the most promising energy sources. However, it is currently mainly produced from depleting #FossilFuels with high #carbon emissions, which has serious -ve effects on the economy and environment. 
#HyBECCS
#ATT
🧵
1/6 ImageImage
To address this issue, sustainable hydrogen production from bio-energy with #carbon capture and #storage (#HyBECCS) is an ideal technology to reduce global carbon emissions while meeting energy demand. 
2/6 ImageImage
So, a recent review presents an overview of "the latest progress in alkaline thermal treatment (#ATT) of #biomass for #hydrogen production with #carbon storage, mainly focusing on the technical characteristics & related challenges from an industrial application perspective."
