"They naturally extract CO2 from the air and use it as feed. The more CO2 plants absorb, the less CO2 remains trapped in the atmosphere." 2/6
As plants decompose, CO2
is released back to the air
"If left alone, plants are eaten by other organisms and releasing the carbon back to the carbon cycle within months."
3/6
Anoxic conditions slow decomposition
"In anoxic waters, plants decompose extremely slowly, effectively storing the carbon much longer." 4/6
The Black Sea is the ideal location
"It is the largest anoxic body of water on earth, 2km deep, surrounded by fertile lands. The Black Sea is the optimal environment allowing affordable, environmentally safe, gigaton scale #CarbonRemoval in this decade." 5/6

Google, Meta, Microsoft & Salesforce formed Symbiosis Coalition, an alliance meant to scale nature-based CDR. Symbiosis wants to ease access to 20M tons of natural CDR credits by 2030, making it the largest ever advance market commitment of the sort.
@280earth, a DAC tech developer, announced that it has completed construction & started operating its first direct air capture facility in Oregon. The firm also announced it has officially closed a $50M Series B Round of investment.
๐จIn a NEW study, novel self-operating electrochemical tech is presented "that not only combines #OIF & #OAE but also recovers H2 gas from seawater, hence offering a promising solution for achieving quantifiable & transparent large-scale #mCDR."
"This tech represents a promising solution to increase the ocean capacity for CDR & enhance primary production in the ocean based by combining both OIF & OAE concepts, in addition to potentially allowing for H2 recovery from the ocean."

The proposed EOIF relies on releasing Fe in ocean via electrochemical reactions at electrode. The electrochemical release of Fe & OH-, which are controlled by Faradayโs law, demonstrates an engineered route to regulate Fe release rate, its bioavailability & pH of seawater.
๐จโWhile Germany aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2045, reducing CO2 emissions must be the primary step. #CDR measures, while important, cannot remove the large amount of CO2 emitted in ๐ฉ๐ช. It is assumed that CDR can only offset ~5โ15% of current emissions.โ
DETAILS๐งต1/11
But how effective and efficient are the various possible #CDR measures? What are the hurdles to implementing them? What are the costs? How environmentally friendly are they?
2/11
The research team investigated these and other questions in its latest study in which it analyzed the feasibility of 14 #CDR measures that could be implemented in Germany. The measures include #DACCS & #BECCS as well as measures to increase carbon uptake by ecosystems.

Frontier โ the advance market commitment aiming to accelerate the development of CDR technologies, announced that they are accepting applications for their fourth prepurchase programme to receive $500k each.
@ToucanProtocol announced a total of $250k in grant funding available to apps integrating CHAR: the world's first onchain carbon dioxide removal credit pool, and a building block for planet positive applications.
