Here's is your roundup of top #CarbonDioxideRemoval News Articles / Scientific Papers from the past week: ๐ฑ๐ชจ๐๏ธ๐
4๏ธโฃ ๐๏ธ A groundbreaking ceremony was held for STRATOS ("Once fully operational, ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฆ will be the worldโs largest #DirectAirCapture facility, expected to capture up to 500,000 tonnes of COโ per year"). @CarbonEngineer@Worley_ECR
7๏ธโฃ ๐Study found that the scenario considering Direct Air Carbon Capture & Storage mitigates the adverse impact on food access in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa compared to the scenario not considering #DACCS.
8๏ธโฃ ๐A research funded by @Caltech and performed by @DonglongFu1 & Mark Devis showed that the use of zeolitic materials is feasible for #DirectAirCapture, especially when it is integrated with water harvesting.
๐ ๐ A new detailed report focusing on the role of #CarbonSequestration in reducing and #removing#CO2 emissions is issued by The Climate Change Authority of #Australia.
1๏ธโฃ1๏ธโฃ ๐A Finland based study indicated a strong spatial associations between biophysical assessment of #CO2#flux & biodiversity priorities, and weaker associations between biophysical and social values.
1๏ธโฃ2๏ธโฃ Elco J Rohling addressed the principles of marine technologies for removing carbon dioxide (mainly #OceanIronFertilization & #OceanAlkalinityEnhancement) as well as debunked common misconceptions about them.
๐จ๐STUDY๐จ
"The study explored the wide range in #CDR deployment volumes across 1.5ยฐC compatible & high overshoot pathways by evaluating the links btw CDR & conceptually linked scenario aspects, via focus on CDR in 2050 & scenario properties related to reaching #NetZero CO2."
๐งต
"#CDR volumes
were further evaluated in terms of their relative and absolute contribution to total mitigation up until reaching
net-zero CO2, showing considerable variation across scenarios with a median relative contribution of around 20%." 2/7
"The volumes of #CDR in 2050 and 2100 and the cumulative amount throughout the 21st century were most strongly correlated to the degree to which CO2 emissions are reduced as a means of reaching net-zero CO2." 3/7

ICYM any recent developments in the field of #CarbonDioxideRemoval published btw ๐๐๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ & ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐, here are links to (in๐งตโฌ๏ธ) all pertinent research papers, news articles, reports, thesis, event recordings, & podcasts โฌ๏ธ
"The system design is elegant in its ability to overcome key technical challenges and highlights the potential for using existing infrastructure to lower #DirectAirCapture cost and land footprint, and secure utilities and public confidence." 2/6
"The techno-economic analysis suggests a cost-of-capture of $100 per metric tonne of CO2 is feasible, allowing #geothermal facilities to increase their net profit by $29 per metric tonne of CO2 captured โ or $6 million per year โ under the 45Q tax credit." 3/6
"The recent paper aims to highlight key operational challenges related to #CO2#Injection in low-temp environments at various pressures."
So, a new approach is provided "to assess injectivity impairment phenomena, & their remediation at the lab scale."

"A novel core flooding-based testing apparatus was used to reckon permeability changes of porous core medium during injection of #CO2 across a range of saturations/T/P. This shows the effect on injectivity of
formation-damage mechanisms, including formation of CO2ย hydrates."
2/11
"The new dynamic dual-phase injection test rig was designed, built, and used in this study to assess a range of conditions expected during #CO2ย #injection either into deep saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas reservoirs."
3/11
Various conclusions were drawn in the review which are enlisted below:
1๏ธโฃ "The alkalinity of the ocean creates a massive increase in the oceanโs capacity to #store#carbon, relative to a scenario without #OceanAlkalinity."
2/14
2๏ธโฃ "Ocean warming causes decreases in both #CO2#solubility and the Revelle factor (B), which make the ocean less efficient at #absorbing CO2."
3/14
"Many scenario analyses suggest that #NegativeEmissionTechnologies, such as #bioenergy with carbon capture and storage & #afforestation, are required to achieve #NetZero target, but their large-scale deployment has a trade-off relationship with food security."
๐งต 1/7
So, a new study considered an innovative #NET, "direct air carbon capture and storage (#DACCS), and analyzed its impact on global food access based on an indicator defined by food expenditure per GDP."
2/7
Study found that "the scenario considering DACCS mitigates the adverse impact on food access in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa compared to the scenario not considering #DACCS by alleviating food expenditure increase & GDP loss associated with emission reduction efforts."
