@1PointFiveCCUS & @trafigura announced DAC #CarbonRemoval credit agreement.
Trafigura has agreed to purchase 50000 tons of CDR credits to be produced from 1PointFiveโs 1st industrial-scale DAC facility, STRATOS, which is under construction in Texas.
@Carbonaires has secured a strategic investment from KTM Chemicals SA.
KTM will provide infrastructure, training & capital for C projects aimed at high-quality #CarbonRemovals & biodiversity enhancement, while also enhancing KTM's Net Zero strategy.
@_Capture6 signed MOU with K-water & BKT to develop a pilot facility in South Korea.
The partners agreed to use K-waterโs desalination facility & technologies of Capture6 & BKT to capture COโ, recover freshwater & minimize brine discharge.
10 startups including @SublimeSystems @BrimstoneEnergy @Carbon_Built & others launchedย first-of-its-kind Decarbonized Cement & Concrete Alliance that aims to boost the adoption of cleaner building materials within the $1.8T U.S. construction market.
UK gov approved planning application for #BECCS at @DraxGroup Power Station.
โDraxโs BECCS plans will enable Drax Power Station to continue to play a critical role in supporting UK energy security & will enable it to remove ~8M tonnes of CO2/yr.โ
The bill requires @ENERGY to remove an increasing amount of CO2 emissions using DAC or other technology-based removal solutions (50K tonnes per year in 2025, scaling to 10M tonnes per year by 2035).
@cdr_fyi released durable #CarbonRemoval buyers and suppliers surveysโ results that provides an understanding of where the industry is in the short (2024), medium (2030), and long (2050) term.
โOcean alkalinity enhancement is a promising marine COโ removal technique, but adding alkalinity could decrease natural alkalinity sources, creating an additionality problem,โ according to a new research by @bach_lennart.

@ParallelCarbon secured $3.6M seed funding. The financing, led by Aramco Ventures, backs Parallel Carbonโs groundbreaking process of utilizing renewable energy for clean hydrogen production while pulling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
๐จSilicate minerals play a key role in weathering, converting atm CO2 into bicarbonate stored in H2O. Golf courses use quartz-dominated sand for turfgrass management, but could a switch to weatherable silicate minerals enhance C sequestration?#ERW
Find this in a new study:๐งต1/11
The study () by @QiyuZhou_Turf assessed the potential net CO2 sequestration via enhanced basalt weathering on golf courses with consideration of the carbon footprint of basaltic sand production and operational processes. #ERW
1๏ธโฃ โWhen environment favors, a 18-hole golf course in regions with an average temp >25ยฐC & soil pH around 8.5, the net CO2 sequestration potential achieved by substituting quartz sand with basaltic sand on putting greens was a minimum 0.42 Mt CO2(eq) yrโ1.โ
