Direct Atmospheric Conversion Technology:
"Through the use of IPTL’s patent pending direct atmospheric conversion technology, every source of vented #methane worldwide can be addressed with one safe, cost effective, scalable technology." 2/4
Natural Inversion Layers:
"IPTL makes use of natural inversion layers to enable the destruction of atmospheric hydrocarbons high above the ground. Sustained wind speeds at elevation distribute a proprietary substance over a wide area to increase its effectiveness." 3/4
Methane In The Atmosphere To Carbon Dioxide:
"The substance accelerates the degradation of methane in the atmosphere to carbon dioxide, reducing the net potential of each molecule of methane in the atmosphere by up to 29 times." 4/4

#DAC of CO2 from the atm. is being explored as a tech. that can contribute to the goal of reaching #NetZero CO2 emissions.
A new study led by @DonglongFu1 showed that the use of zeolitic materials are feasible for DAC when it is integrated with H2O harvesting.
🧵 1/7
"A combination of a commercially available desiccant, AQSOA-Z02A, and a mordenite-type zeolite (MOR) enables
continuous operation of a designed #DAC system comprised of two
parallel units with a regeneration temperature of 100°C," research finds. 2/7
Furthermore, "the system
using pure #zeolite alone requires regeneration at temperatures between 200°C and 300°C." 3/7
📝 "The N-doped #carbon material is one of the most efficient #adsorption materials in the field of carbon capture." So, in a recent study a series of N-doped #biochars were successfully prepared by a facile solvent-free method.
Details in a 🧵below ⬇️
[1/7]
Among all N-doped biochars, "the #biochar prepared with corncob🌽 powder, K2CO3 & urea at 800°C showed highest #adsorption ability (5.69 mmol/g at 0°C & 1 bar) & selectivity (38.24 at CO2/N2 = 10/90). The biochar also showed excellent thermal stability & cycle performance."
2/7
"Notable, correlation analysis showed that ultra-micropores were the decisive factor for #CO2#adsorption at low temperatures; nevertheless, the effect of N-doping would gradually appear with the increase of adsorption temperature." 3/7
@ParallelCarbon is "developing the world’s most affordable #DirectAirCapture (#DAC) process, relying only on water, wind, sunshine, & abundant minerals."
🎛️ How this technology works is explained in a 🧵 below ⬇️
[1/4]
"@ParallelCarbon’s patent-pending #DAC system captures CO2 from air using minerals that transform their chemical structure while doing so. These minerals are processed using aqueous, acid-base reactions (produced by water electrolysis) to permanently store the captured CO2." 2/4
Production of green #hydrogen:
"This #DAC technology is special: @ParallelCarbon's electrolyzer also produces green hydrogen, which is an important tool for decarbonizing industries." 3/4

The Climate Change Authority of #Australia has issued a report that pinpoints #CarbonSequestration as critical to reduce emissions.
"Storing C away from the atm is integral, both to avert #GHGs from entering the atm & to #remove them from it."
🧵

The report notes that "while conventional #CarbonAccounting is simple and economically flexible, it does not consider crucial differences between different sources and sinks of #GHG#emissions." As a result, 𝐈𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: ⬇️

1️⃣ "The Government should prioritise the development of long-lived geological and mineral #storage technologies.
2️⃣ Measures to restore CO2 released from #CarbonSinks should be reviewed and enhanced as appropriate."

"In order to assess carbon-biodiversity trade-off, the new paper examines the spatial relationships between biophysical & social values for #CarbonSequestration potential (measured as CO2 flux) & #biodiversity in Finland, using integrated valuation."
The approach used by authors "combines methods from #CarbonSequestration modelling, expert scoring approaches to biodiversity assessment and public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS)." 2/6
Results indicate "strong spatial associations between biophysical assessment of #CO2#flux and biodiversity priorities, and weaker associations between biophysical and social values." 3/6
2️⃣ @running_tide announced its initial Framework Protocol for #OceanCarbonRemoval. "This is the first carbon removal project utilizing a “fast-to-slow” framework for carbon removal accounting." 🌊
