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)."
๐งต 1/8
"Study focus on two dynamically different regions:
๐ธSassandra Upwelling in Cรดte dโIvoire (SUC, located east of Cape Palmas)
๐ธTakoradi Upwelling in Ghana (TUG, located east of Cape Three Points)" 2/8
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 ยฐC on average) mainly due to an < in net heat flux (lead by the > in longwave radiation) & also in weak vertical mixing." 3/8
"Under SAG, SST decreases all the seasonal cycle with its maximum in Dec (โ0.4 ยฐC) due to a reduction in the net heat flux (caused by a diminution of #SolarRadiation) & an increase in vertical advection (due to an increase in vertical temp. gradient & vertical velocity)." 4/8
"In the TUG region, under climate change, SST warming is a little more intense than in the SUC region and SST changes are driven by an increase in the net heat flux and strong stratification." 5/8
"The cooling of the SST in TUG is similar to the SUC region, but contrary to this region, the cooling
under SAG is not only explained by a decrease in the net heat flux but also by the remote forcing of
wind changes at the western equatorial Atlantic." 6/8

@4401earth raised $37M Series A funding for its mineralisation tech which aims to eliminate CO2 permanently & at scale. The funding will enable 44.01 to continue to refine its tech, develop commercial-scale projects & expand its deployment globally.
@Climeworks has signed a multi-year contract with Zรผrcher Kantonalbank. The agreement aims to remove around 1,750 tons of COโ that complements the Swiss bank's net-zero strategy, which continues to focus on emissions reductions.

@1PointFive_ has entered into an agreement with Microsoft to sell 500,000 metric tons of CDR credits over 6 years to support Microsoftโs CDR strategy. The agreement is the largest single purchase of CDR credits enabled by Direct Air Capture to date.
Sydney startup Fugu Carbon has secured funding within the range of $1 million to $1.7 million for its solid direct-air carbon capture solution. It will allow Fugu to further develop and scale its team and operations.

@heirloomcarbon unveiled plans to deploy 2 facilities in Shreveport, Louisiana, capable of removing 320KtCO2 per year at scale. The first facility will remove 17KtCO2/yr, with the second scaling up to remove 100KtCO2/yr by 2026 & 2027, respectively.
Denmark is investing โฌ1.35B into biochar carbon removal and plans to subsidize biochar carbon removal by up to โฌ300/t. Additionally, Denmark has become the first country to introduce a โฌ100/t CO2 tax in agriculture.
