Did you grow up wanting to be a carbon middle manager? Do you love The Climate (tm)?
I've got jobs for you
Here's a thread of positions from policy, to comms, to engineering and everything else I could find! 🧵👇
Starting with policy, because that's what I do and know the best!
@GreatPlainsInst is one of the most effective policy and advocacy organizations in the US, and they work on everything! betterenergy.org/careers/

I've been reading through the DAC purchase program. Not only is it historic, but it's incredibly well written and thoughtful.
Let's look at the highlights!👇🧵

This $35M dollar program is set up in a gated prize format, meaning if you make it through the first gate, called Phase 1, you move on to be eligible for next phase.
Prizes decrease in number and increase in size. 3 phases in total.

A recent report from IEEFA on the Sleipner and Snøhvit CO2 storage fields left much to be desired from a technical and rhetorical stand-point, it's a long one I'm sorry 👇here we go:

Let's look at the "Key Findings" of this analysis. These are certainly a lot of words, my interest in the use of phrases like "may not" "cast doubt" "expect the unexpected" "not without material ongoing risk"
Let's juxtapose this with a retrospective paper on Sleipner

A really disappointing piece in Politico this morning on carbon capture and storage. Filled with half-truths and inaccuracies.
Let's get into it 🧵
politico.com/news/2023/05/1…
Starting off the article with a bang, we see "relatively untested technology" to describe CO2 storage which is strange since we've been doing it for decades with 300M+/tons and no leaks
We don't pump CO2 "into a cavern" we pump it into a porous and permeable rock, like a sponge

Mineralization, or mineral trapping, has become a catch-all term in carbon removal. However this one term can mean several technologies or processes depending on the method. A general overview 🧵
Mineralization, in the CDR context, is the reaction that moves CO2 from the fluid state (dissolved in water, supercritical, gaseous) into a solid state carbonate.
It can be lumped into one of two, broad, categories:
1. In-situ 2. Ex Situ

The @ENERGY@FECMgov DAC prizes offer three pathways to get a share of $115M, how does that work, are you eligible? A 🧵🧵🧵

Recognizing that there are numerous steps involved in moving an innovation from idea to marketable product, the DAC Prizes are split into three separate but connected programs:
