The Senate Appropriations Committees dropped their spending proposals for FY23, and there are some big wins for carbon removal. We’re taking a closer look 🔍at funding for technological and land-based carbon removal solutions. 🧵 The proposal acknowledges the need to further scientific and economic research on soil carbon and soil health at @USDA_ARS, @USDA_ERS, and @SAREProgram. There's also $5M at ARS to support regional Climate Hubs which provide on-the-ground research translation to producers

#SolvingTheClimateCrisis demands urgency--reaching net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 requires a rapid and far-reaching transition at an unprecedented scale. C180 believes CDR must be a part of an ambitious decarbonization agenda, and we appreciate that the @ClimateCrisis cmte agrees After power reading all 500+ pages, we commend @HouseDemocrats for putting forth a roadmap that addresses the full portfolio of carbon capture approaches. Soils, forests, DAC, CO2 storage, BECCS! We’re thrilled to see many of the reccs we put forth incorporated throughout.

Today’s the day! Join our chief scientist @j_zelikova, as well as @SenWhitehouse, @RepPaulTonko to *get the dirt* on what’s happening in the future of soil carbon storage. bit.ly/3bepUsh Fantastic remarks from @RepPaulTonko and @SenWhitehouse on the need for negative emissions technologies to meet climate goals, and the critical role agricultural soils play in achieving this.

A panel on Science and Soil: Innovation to unlock the future of food at @30x30FFL and we cannot be more excited!!! Those are all our favorite things! #GCAS2018 Measurement is a key challenge but what gets measured gets counted.

Not always easy to reconcile science’s need for precision and corporate need for scalability.

When it comes to soils, this is even more challenging. Soils are notoriously tricky.
