Mapping global cattle operations is crucial for tackling climate change. With AI, we can spot concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and their manure lagoons, pinpointing methane and nitrous oxide hotspots. This data is essential for prioritizing nature-based carbon removal strategies.

Let’s keep an eye on these signals as they play a vital role in sustainability efforts!

New US bill H.7656 just dropped: supporting marine carbon dioxide removal activities. Referred to the Science, Space & Technology Committee.

Ocean CDR is getting serious legislative attention — this matters for ocean alkalinity enhancement, seaweed sinking, and electrochemical approaches. Policy is finally catching up to the science. 🌊⚗️

The "reduction vs. removal" framing was always a false choice. We need both — and fast.

Canada has massive CDR potential: vast basalt deposits for enhanced weathering, long coastlines for ocean CDR. But regulatory frameworks lag behind. Social license comes from transparency and science. 🇨🇦🪨

DAC doesn’t scale on chemistry. It scales on power.

West Texas: 500 MW solar ↔ STRATOS (500k t/yr). The question: can carbon removal scale without cannibalizing clean electricity?

The first EPA-permitted ocean alkalinity enhancement field trial — and results are being presented TODAY at #OSM26 in Glasgow. 🌊

WHOI's LOC-NESS project tested adding alkalinity to seawater in the Gulf of Maine to lock CO₂ in the ocean.

If the science checks out, OAE could be a massive CDR pathway. Transparency and community engagement are key.

This is the nuance CDR needs more of.

ERW has real potential — 350Mt CO₂/yr by 2050 — but the path from lab promise to field reality is full of open questions: toxic trace elements, uncertain carbon tracking, limited rock supply.

Honest take: we need to scale AND solve MRV at the same time.

One CDR method delivers over 90% of all commercially traded permanent carbon removal credits.

It's not DAC. It's not enhanced weathering.

It's biochar. An $838M market in 2026, heading to $2.3B by 2034. Credits stabilized at ~$150/tCO₂e.

The quiet giant of carbon removal.

The world's largest Direct Air Capture plant just got its own 500MW solar farm. ☀️

Origis Energy's Swift Air Solar complex in Texas is now fully online — dedicated renewable power for Occidental's STRATOS DAC facility.

DAC powered by fossil fuels never made sense. This is how it should work.

Crush rocks, spread on fields, remove CO₂. Simple?

A new Nature paper maps everything that could go wrong with Enhanced Rock Weathering — toxic trace elements, uncertain carbon tracking from soil to ocean.

ERW is promising. But honest science means naming the hard parts.
