2๏ธโฃ๐ต In an effort to neutralize its environmental footprint, JP Morgan has announced it plans to invest more than $200 million to purchase credits from several #CarbonDioxideRemoval companies (โone of the biggest bets ever on #CarbonRemovalโ).
3๏ธโฃ ๐ค๐๏ธ Norwegian #DirectAirCapture company #Removr announces partnership with @CarbFix to develop a 100,000-ton C02 per year facility in Iceland ๐ฎ๐ธ (planned to start in 2027). #DAC
5๏ธโฃ ๐๐ Recent study present an analysis of โthe gap between the #CO2Storage required to meet #NetZero targets and the slow maturation of regional storage resources.โ
7๏ธโฃ๐๏ธ Researchers from the Republic of Korea reviewed electrochemical direct carbon capture tech, which allows for the capture of CO2 from diluted sources like #DirectAirCapture or #DirectOceanCapture, ultimately resulting in #NetZero C emissions.
8๏ธโฃ๐ฑ๐ด๐พA new study from Colorado State Uni's Dept. of Soil & Crop Sciences found โthat #regenerative practicesโincluding integrating crop & livestock systemsโwere successful as long-term #CarbonStorage solutions.โ
9๏ธโฃ๐ด๐ฒโKeeping tree diversity intact in Canada's many forests over the long term can help increase #CarbonCapture & #mitigate#ClimateChange,โ according to a new study conducted by University of Alberta.
๐โThe max grid C intensity to obtain #NegativeEmissions with #DAC is estimated at 468gCO2ekWh, which is compliant with most of the EU countriesโ current grid mix,โ a study executed by EU Commission, Ispra ๐ฎ๐น found.
๐ A recent study by @Olenellus & @GambixPT published in @geosociety found that โan extinct #volcano off the shore of Portugal could store as much as 1.2-8.6 gigatons of CO2, the equivalent of 24-125yrs of the countryโs industrial emissions.โ #CarbonStorage

โDoing so would rely on a method known as in situ mineral #carbonization, which works when the CO2 taken from the air is pumped deep underground.โ

โOnce in the bowels of this extinct volcano, calcium, magnesium, and iron react to the incoming carbon dioxide to form calcite, dolomite, and magnesite, trapping the CO2 forever in a rocky prison.โ

Scientists investigate โthe potential impact of #StratosphericAerosolIntervention (#SAI) on the spatiotemporal behavior of large-scale climate teleconnection patterns using simulations from the CESM1 & CESM2).โย

โThe leading empirical orthogonal function of #SST anomalies indicates that #GHG forcing is accompanied by increases in variance across both the North Atlantic (i.e., AMO) & North Pacific (i.e., PDO) and a decrease over the tropical Pacific (i.e., ENSO),โ researchers inferred. 2/
Recent study present an analysis of โthe gap between the CO2 storage required to meet net zero targets and the slow maturation of regional storage resources.โ
Researchers estimate that โEuropean storage rates need to boost 30-100x by 2030 to meet #NetZero by 2050. ๐จ๐ณ & North America face a similar challenge. The slow global progress of #CarbonStorage undermines the latest IPCC, IEA & EU transition pathways to net zero by 2050.โ

๐จNEW STUDY๐จ
โGiven the high expectations placed on #DAC for future #decarbonisation, recent study presents an extensive review of DAC tech, exploring a number of techno-economic aspects, including an updated collection of the current & planned DAC projects around the world.โ
๐งต
โA dedicated analysis focused on the production of synthetic methane, methanol, and diesel from #DAC and electrolytic hydrogen in the European Union (EU) is also performed, where the #carbonfootprint is analysed for different scenarios and energy sources.โ

The results show that โthe maximum grid carbon intensity to obtain #NegativeEmissions with #DAC is estimated at 468 gCO 2 e/kWh, which is compliant with most of the EU countriesโ current grid mix.โ
3/10
A new study from Colorado State University's Dept. of Soil & Crop Sciences & the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology found โthat #regenerative practicesโincluding integrating crop & livestock systemsโwere successful as long-term #CarbonStorage solutions.โ
๐งต 1/7
Researchers conducted a โglobal systematic meta-analysis of the effects of #regenerative management practices on Soil Organic Carbon (#SOC), Particulate Organic Carbon (#POC) & Mineral-Associatedย Organic Carbon (#MAOC) in cropland.โ

They found that:
1๏ธโฃ โno-till (NT) and cropping system intensification increase #SOC (11.3% and 12.4%, respectively), #MAOC (8.5% and 7.1%, respectively), and #POC (19.7% and 33.3%, respectively) in topsoil (0 to 20 cm), but not in subsoil (>20 cm).โ 3/
