1️⃣ @CharmIndustrial, which removes carbon from the atmosphere via bio-oil sequestration, has raised $100 million in a Series B funding round. It has also signed new record-breaking arrangements for 140,000 tons/CDR with Frontier & JPMorgan.

2️⃣ Carbon Removal Marketplace @nori announces the appointment of Matt Trudeau as CEO and a $6.25M funding round led by @M13Company, @Toyota_Ventures, @placeholdervc, and @Cargill, bringing total funding to $17.25M.
πŸ“°βž‘οΈ

3️⃣ Carbon to Sea Initiative, a new nonprofit group has raised over $50 million to back research and development into potentially accelerating carbon dioxide absorption into the world's oceans (Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement).
@AdditionalVent

4️⃣ @_Capture6 & @PalmdaleH2O District have announced plans to construct a pilot facility for integrated water recovery & carbon capture in California. β€œIt will be the world's first completely integrated water management & CO2 removal facility.”
πŸ“°βž‘οΈ

5️⃣ The carbon sequestration (full life cycle) potential of kelp in Ailian Bay (China) was found to be 97.73g C/m2/year, according to research conducted in China.
πŸ“πŸ“–βž‘οΈ
6/11
6️⃣ Recent research submitted in the @researchsquare presents first-of-its-kind process concepts for co-removal of CH4 & CO2Β that combine the catalytic conversion of methane step (thermal/photo-catalytic) with CO2 capture (#DirectAirCapture).
πŸ“πŸ“–βž‘οΈ
7/11
7️⃣~6.0β€―Mt CO2-eq/yr were sequestered in China from 2003-2020 via shellfish & algae farming, a study found. β€œShellfish farming could reduce C emissions by 31.7β€―Mt CO2-eq/yr while algae farming could reduce the C emissions by 0.7β€―Mt CO2-eq/yr.”
πŸ“πŸ“–βž‘οΈ
8/11
8️⃣ Research pointed that β€œ44.4Γ—109 ton of CO2 (~3.3 times of current annual CO2 sink in the ocean) could be removed from the atmosphere with 175β€―ΞΌmol kg–1β€―Mg(OH)2 (equivalent to 350β€―ΞΌmolβ€―kgβˆ’1 of TA) added to the top 10β€―m of the ocean.”

9/11
9️⃣ Despite some hope that whales can remove marked amount of CO2, a study has found the amount of potential carbon capture by whales is 𝐭𝐨𝐨 π₯𝐒𝐭𝐭π₯𝐞 to meaningfully alter the course of climate change.”

πŸš¨πŸ“NEW PAPERπŸ“πŸš¨

In a recently published paper, researchers use β€œan LCA approach to calculate the Long-Lasting #CarbonSequestration (LLCS) of #seaweed, which can be understood as the difference between #CarbonFixation & released C throughout the life cycle of seaweed.”

🧡1/9 ImageImage
Using kelp (Laminaria japonica) as an example of seaweed, the present study β€œvalidates the procedure of calculating the LLCS of seaweed throughout its whole life cycle in Ailian Bay from nursery to processing into #biochar (fertilizer) as the final product.”
2/9 Image
The results showed that β€œthe #CarbonSequestration (full life cycle) of kelp in Ailian Bay was 97.73g C /m2/year.”

🚨NEW STUDY🚨

🌊 For the first time researchers used β€œlab and wind-wave tank experiments to prove the concept of using Mg(OH)2Β for the #OceanAlkalinityEnhancement and #CarbonDioxideRemoval approach (OAE-CDR).” 

🧡1/7 Image
🌊 Experiment results showed β€œup to 370β€―ΞΌmolβ€―kgβˆ’1 seawater total alkalinity (TA) increase without precipitation, stable enhanced TA, and OAE-CDR efficiency (Ξ”DIC/Ξ”TA) consistent with theoretical calculation.”
2/7
🌊 Based on the experimental results, scientists involved in this study calculated β€œthe global Mg(OH)2 OAE-CDR efficiency and #CO2Sink from this approach.”

🚨NEW STUDY🚨

Recent research submitted in the @researchsquare β€œpresents first-of-its-kind process concepts for co-removal of #methane and #CO2Β that combine the catalytic conversion of methane step (thermal/photo-catalytic) with #CO2Capture (#DirectAirCapture).”
1/17 Image
β€œThe proposed solution to co-remove methane and CO2 from low concentration sources has the potential of #removing more CO2-equivalents from the atmosphere at lower energy penalty when compared to technologies that focus on removing only CO2 from the air, the study affirmed.”

Based on the analysis of this study, researchers summarize the following challenges and opportunities with the proposed solution for co-removing methane and CO2 from the atmosphere:

🚨NEW STUDY🚨

Recent analysis published in @naturesustainab β€œuse #biogeochemical simulations to show that restoration of the marine ecosystems can lead to permanent #CO2Removal by driving #OceanAlkalinityEnhancement & atmosphere-to-ocean #CO2Fluxes.”

Key findings in aπŸ§΅β¬‡οΈ
1/12 Image
Findings of this study suggest that β€œrestoring mangroves, which are common in tropical shallow marine settings, will lead to notable local #OceanAlkalinityEnhancement across a wide range of scenarios.”
2/ Image
β€œThe process is seagrass & mangroves influence the organic & inorganic cycling of C in sediment, with strong impacts on diffusive #alkalinity fluxes. In carbonate-rich sediment, seagrass & mangroves foster carbonate dissolution, resulting in increased alkalinity production...

🚨NEW STUDY🚨

πŸŒ‹ A recent study by @Olenellus & @GambixPT published in @geosociety found that β€œan 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 country’s industrial emissions.”
#CarbonStorage

🧡1/9 Image
β€œDoing 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.”
2/9
β€œOnce 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.”
