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.
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.

New study in Nature Climate Change:
Up to 13% of the world's biodiversity hotspots overlap with planned CDR land use. If we exclude those areas, 50%+ of land earmarked for BECCS & forestation becomes unavailable by 2050.
The fix isn't less CDR — it's smarter siting. Low- and middle-income countries bear the highest overlap risk. 🌱🗺️

Climeworks just opened a new HQ in Calgary, Alberta 🇨🇦
Why it matters: They're setting up cold-weather DAC testing — building on Iceland experience to prove the tech works in harsh Canadian winters.
Commercial plant ambitions to follow. DAC is going global. 🌍
