This post has strong 2012-era ERG vibes

Was proud to work with Pete Psarras at Carbon Direct, along with Hannah Murnen and Barclay Rogers at Graphyte on this manuscript. Have any questions? Let me know!

We hope that these two measures are intuitive metrics to guide allocation of scarce resources amongst potentially competing uses of biomass and low-carbon energy.

We relied on public data to conduct harmonized lifecycle assessments, the goal of which is to enable the assessment of diverse CDR approaches on a consistent basis. We also considered a number of "frontier" biomass CDR approaches.

In "Carbon removal efficiency and energy requirement of engineered carbon removal technologies," colleagues and I compare the "efficiency" and energy use of 12 CDR technologies, including DAC, ERW, and BiCRS pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

I got to work with a wonderful recent ERG PhD, Micah Elias, on this. Congrats to him! Micah is now the director for natural capital at Blue Forest Conservation: hope I can continue to work with him and the great team over there! www.linkedin.com/in/micah-eli...

We find that restoring a resilient forest structure can generate up to $6,100 per acre in carbon revenue from increased forest carbon and market-ready biomass utilization pathways, potentially fully funding forest management. Good news! 2/

Carbon removal will be a key part of stringent emissions reductions in the United States, if and when we ever truly prioritize climate mitigation. Thanks to the outgoing CEA team for reminding us of what the future could bring. @hboushey.bsky.social

Even better, it cites the outstanding work of @jeffinerca.bsky.social @cdscown.bsky.social @joesagues.bsky.social & others in the 2023 "Roads to Removal" report, noting "Recent analyses show great potential for NETs [negative emissions tech] to contribute significantly to achieving net zero by 2050"

anyway if there’s one thing i think everyone should take away from this complex situation it’s this: as big businesses find ways to profit off climate action, the politics of climate advocacy as we know them are getting murkier and murkier. new lines are being redrawn all over the country
