Our first commercial facility development is in full swing, and in about a few years time the world will see its first biochar shipments at scale serving the horticultural (greenhouse) sector! Time to pave the way for more sustainable food growing and clean energy generation. 📈 #carboculture #arcmm

Carbon capture set to be less useful in tackling climate change, scientists warn CO₂ stored underground will be at risk of leaking back into the atmosphere, study finds

This is why we need a portfolio of approaches. No silver bullets here.
Which is why we need biochar: it's safe, much cheaper, and a removal with abundant storage capacity.

"Far less carbon dioxide can be safely stored underground than previously thought, scientists have said"

EU close to reaching climate goals despite green backlash Bloc is within one percentage point of meeting greenhouse gas emissions reduction target by 2030

On track for 54% reduction in GhG emissions from 1990 to 2030. Champagne! 🥳 🥂 🇪🇺
Many reasons, some negative: industry offshoring etc, but cheap renewables, electrification and efficiency are a solid investment for 🌍 & 💶.

Why post-Brexit Britain will always remain a supplicant to Europe Resets with the EU may improve relations, but they will never give the country the equal standing of a member state

Until rejoined, both sides of the channel will enjoy the less economic option and friction.

Freedom of science and research is one of Europe's great strengths.

It’s how excellence and innovation thrive.

We’ll make proposals to help scientists and researchers ‘Choose Europe’.

The best and brightest from around the world.


To make Europe the home of innovation again.

This should be rolled out across Europe - the energy transition will require vast numbers more of skilled people to get infrastructure built, maschine shops staffed, etc!

Trump Administration Ends Tracking of Kidnapped Ukrainian Children in Russia A Democratic lawmaker is drafting a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking whether a database on thousands of children has been deleted.

Devastating and truly unforgivable. The US administration is now aiding Russia in covering up war crimes targeting children.

Why other forms of generation are needed in the mix. Bio-based gases, and excess heat used from all sources. This will take effort to fix but the result will yield a robust, domestic, clean and cheaper energy supply in the end. Worth the work!

We won't achieve gigatonne carbon removal At least not by focusing on the wrong priorities

A really good post by ex CEO of Nori, Paul Gambill, about what's wrong with the carbon removal market as it stands. It wont scale like this. Hint: a few companies deciding what good looks like, obsession of perfection when we haven't gotten any tonnage out, etc.

EU to keep climate goals but loosen rules for companies, says green chief Bloc has to balance protection of the planet and economic growth, Teresa Ribera argues

Some simplification for SME's reporting. Now let's funnel the ~60B€+ fossil subsidies into domestic, zero carbon energy production to amp the competitiveness and electrification of the EU. 🤝💶

This was a good read. The issues haven't gone anywhere, which to me says we need to stand taller, stronger and sober in the face of this new repression.

For those that welcome progress - let's use relatable language that makes
common sense, and accept that reality is messy.
A lot of work to do
