@SthlmExergi secured over 20 billion SEK in Swedenโs BECCS reverse auction. The funding, disbursed over up to 15 years, will help permanently remove 800,000 tons of COโ annually.
๐จ๐ฃThe strangest geoengineering idea yet?๐ฃ๐จ
A new paper suggests detonating an absolutely gigantic nuclear bomb (1,600x bigger than Tsar Bomba) deep beneath the seabed to accelerate carbon removal (#CDR).
A thread on this bold climate proposal:๐งต1/11 2/ Climate change is an existential threat, which is why some researchers explore extreme solutions. This one might be one of them.
The idea? Use a nuclear bomb to shatter massive amounts of basalt, speeding up Enhanced Rock Weathering (#ERW)โa natural carbon capture process.

@RepAir_Carbone has signed a commercial agreement worth $3 million with Shell & Mitsubishi Corporation for the Pelican DAC Hub project in Louisiana.
๐จPAPERโThe Arcticโs frozen ground, permafrost, holds massive reserves of ancient carbon. As the planet warms, this carbon faces a dangerous release into the atm, accelerating climate change. Could solar geoengineering (#SRM) help save it? The answer is complex.
DETAILS๐งต 1/7 2/7 Permafrost is warming faster than the global average, poised to unleash C stored for millennia. This creates a feedback loopโwarming leads to more C release, which leads to more warming. Simulations show SRM could limit global warming to 1.5ยฐC & slow permafrost thaw. But...

The US government has awarded $101 million in federal funding for five projects to support the development of CO2 capture, removal and conversion test centers.
๐จ๐Imagine a world where buildings donโt just house us but actively fight climate change๐๐จ
A new study reveals that CO2-storing materials in construction could capture 16.6 billion tonnes of CO2 annually โ half of global emissions in 2021!
#CarbonSink
DETAILS๐งต1/9 2/ The key lies in re-engineering materials like concrete, asphalt, wood, bricks, and plastics to store carbon. These materials are already used on a massive scale, making them ideal for turning the built environment into a carbon sink.
