This morning we publish a deep dive on Biochar. @BeZeroCarbon @Victoria_CDR

This emerging sector of the voluntary carbon market is one of the most talked about credit types at the moment.

Here is a *THREAD* of our take 1/ What is it?

Biochar is a biological method of engineered carbon removal. When biomass is burned in a high temperature and low oxygen environment, such as through pyrolysis, a solid substance with a stabilised carbon content is produced - this is the Biochar. 2/

This morning, @Victoria_CDR @GarrettGuard and I publish the findings of our Scalability Assessment.

This first-of-its-kind assessment looks at the relative scalability of five different carbon removal methods.

Here is a quick 🧵 THREAD🧵summarising the research. 1/ Why does scalability matter?

We need 10 gt of carbon removal by 2050. Currently we have delivered on just 0.008% of this. Understanding the barriers to scaling is vital, as discussed in our introductory report ()bezerocarbon.com/scalability-as…

This morning I wrote for @timesredbox to discuss the depressing state of affairs for young people in the UK.

Here is a short thread summarising my argument. 1/ Inequality between generations has never been higher. This is demonstrated through home ownership; income inequality; and the tax and student loans system. 2/

This morning, @alex_luke_ and I publish our latest research report of the @ukonward #GettingtoZero programme, Qualifying for the race to net zero.

The report assesses the labour market challenge of net zero and suggests a nine-point plan to plug the skills gap.

THREAD 1/ The UK is lacking in the two key skills demands of net zero: high-level STEM skills and medium level technical skills.

We find that 32.1% hold degrees, of which more than 56% are in STEM subjects. 30% of net zero workers currently have qualifications no higher than Level 3. 2/
