  • Introducing the demand triangle

    To effectively address climate change, cutting emissions and actively removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are necessary. The US has made progress in this area, but challenges remain, including a small and concentrated market for carbon removal. A three-part policy framework called the "Demand Triangle" is proposed to address these challenges, including public procurement, shifting costs to industrial emitters, and leveling the playing field with trade policy. This framework aims to support the growth of a successful carbon removal industry while limiting consumer exposure to price increases, ultimately leading to the US leading a global carbon removal industry worth up to $1 trillion by 2050. The section discusses the importance of finding solutions that benefit the climate, industry, and communities most affected by climate change, emphasizing the need for action to address the consequences of inaction.

  • A Company Funded by Bill Gates Wants to Capture BC’s Carbon

    A Bill Gates-backed American startup, Graphyte, plans to build a carbon-storage facility in Valemount, B.C., which could start operating as early as next January. The facility aims to capture carbon from forestry and agriculture industries by compressing unusable organic matter into bricks that do not decompose and burying them underground. Graphyte has sold carbon credits to companies like Microsoft and J.P. Morgan to offset their emissions. The company's initiative, called "Project Red Cedar," is expected to bring 20 jobs to the community and repurpose the local industrial park. Enkon consulting firm is ensuring compliance with environmental regulations for the project, which has garnered support from the Simpcw First Nation and the Valemount Community Forest.

  • Environmental News Network – Hot Spring Microbiomes Could Transform Industrial CO2 Waste into Valuable Products, Manchester Researchers Find

    Researchers at The University of Manchester have discovered that microbial communities from terrestrial hot springs have the potential to convert industrial CO2 emissions into valuable products, providing a new avenue for a circular, low-carbon economy. Industrial activities such as steel and cement production produce significant amounts of CO2-rich waste gases, creating environmental issues. The study, published in Environmental Microbiome, highlights the possibility of utilizing these emissions as a valuable resource. Microbiomes in terrestrial hot springs are well-suited to conditions found in industrial waste streams, offering a promising solution for mitigating CO2 emissions.

  • Introducing, the CORE Carbon Removal Framework

    The CORE Carbon Removal Framework, launched this week, emphasizes the importance of benefiting communities, the climate, and environmental systems through responsible carbon removal practices. It outlines principles such as justice, equity, transparency, and accountability to ensure successful projects and provides resources for those involved. As carbon removal transitions from research to practical applications, governments, companies, and policymakers are investing in shaping the development of programs. The framework aims to establish shared expectations and a common language for the growing field, with success dependent on responsible real-world implementation.

  • Communicating Carbon Removal in a Fractured Media Landscape

    Despite challenges in climate communication and lack of awareness about carbon removal, there is bipartisan support for carbon removal policies once understood. The climate movement must shift messaging from fear to hope, address concerns about environmental justice, and invest in local storytellers for effective action. Carbon180 is focusing on community-based initiatives in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and Puerto Rico, emphasizing engagement with local communities for responsible deployment. Media coverage of climate change is declining, but there is growing interest in carbon removal among voters. The importance of climate policy and the need for urgency, hope, and transparency in climate solutions are key issues for 2025.

  • CO2 Mineralization in Concrete and Its Future Impact

    Concrete producers are under pressure to deliver lower carbon materials while maintaining performance. CarbonCure's webinar discussed how CO2 mineralization can help achieve these goals by storing carbon dioxide in concrete, improving microstructure, and reducing cement costs. The demand for lower carbon concrete is driving innovation in the industry, with global deployment resulting in significant CO2 savings and improved concrete performance. Producers are finding ways to operationalize CO2 mineralization through cement screening, laboratory validation, and batching trials to optimize CO2 dose and achieve cement reduction with equivalent performance, ultimately delivering lower carbon concrete at scale.

  • Photovoltaics for cattle dung gasification

    An international team of researchers has developed a solar PV system that efficiently converts cattle dung into syngas, reducing CO2 emissions and demonstrating a net energy recovery of 40.17%. The system has a payback period of 3.75 years and can generate annual revenue of 98,703 PKR ($352.1) at a processing capacity of 5 kg/day. Gasification at 800 C was found to produce optimal syngas yields and is scalable for larger CAFOs. The study highlights the importance of system utilization, operational factors, and maintenance in determining the overall feasibility of biomass energy systems. Further research will focus on scaling up the system, optimizing syngas yield, and evaluating its performance in different environmental conditions.
