Four scenarios investigated by the researchers from LUT University for #CarbonDioxideRemoval services & e-fuels/chemicals export. It is a first study to explore the impact of such services on an exporting sunbelt country (Egypt🇪🇬 )."
🧵 1/7
The results show that 🇪🇬 can technically provide 5% of the required global #CarbonDioxideRemoval capacity via Direct Air Carbon Capture & Storage (#DACCS) starting from 2035, & 10% of Europe’s demand for e-fuels & e-chemicals starting from 2025 within land use constraints." 2/7
"The provision of both services enhances the domestic energy system performance by reducing the levelised costs of important feedstocks, #CarbonDioxideRemoval and hydrogen, as well as other domestic cost metrics and system losses." 3/7
Findings of this study are "extendable and relevant to similar sunbelt countries. They are also relevant to European countries looking to fulfil their climate targets while diversify their energy imports sources." 4/7
Overall, this research is an important step in 100% renewable energy transition research and international #ClimateChange mitigation efforts," researchers of this study concluded.

1️⃣ 💵 @Microsoft & @Orsted ink “one of the world's largest” carbon removal deals as Microsoft buys 2.76 million tonnes of #CarbonRemoval from Ørsted using #BECCS. To be delivered over 11 years.
2️⃣ 💸Buyers working through Frontier have binding contracts for $53 million with the startup @CharmIndustrial to remove 112,000 tons of CO2 between 2024 & 2030.
*“Charm turns waste biomass into bio-oil & stores it underground for +1000 years.”
🚨🌊A marine research team led by Professor Yan Qingyun has proposed a method "to assess the net #CarbonSink of marine #macroalgae (Gracilaria) cultivation. Then, they computed net C sink of Gracilaria cultivation in China based on Gracilaria's annual yield in the last 10yr."
🧵
Also, "the net #CarbonSink trend of #Gracilaria cultivation in the next ten years was predicted by the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA)."
2/9
Finally, researchers "explored the potential #CarbonSink increase and methane reduction related to #Gracilaria cultivation in China through a scenario analysis."

"#NegativeEmissionsTechnologies are needed to achieve #NetZero emissions, but their deployment will depend on regional & national circumstances, technology availability, & decarbonization strategies."
In this regard, a new study is done. Details below in a 🧵 1/7
The recent paper reviews "the literature and maps the role of Process Integration (PI) in #NETs deployment." 2/7
"Techniques such as mathematical programming, pinch analysis (PA), process graphs (P-graphs), are powerful methods for planning #NET systems under resource or footprint constraints." 3/7
Recent research analyzed "future wildfires burned areas & C emissions under #SolarGeoengineering & Shared Socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) scenarios & assessed how the different geoengineering approaches impact #fires."

1️⃣ In this week’s @CipherClimate Voices article, "@naimmerchant, @NoahMcQueen13, & Grant Faber discuss:
🔸the critical role #DAC will play in achieving #NetZero
🔸how DAC solutions are improving in terms of cost & efficiency as the tech scales."
2️⃣ 🌊New paper dropped by @bach_lennart, @_david_ho_ & others on "how to deal with air-sea gas exchange uncertainties when assessing the efficacy of ocean-based #CarbonDioxdeRemoval."
