Google’s emissions up 51% as AI electricity demand derails efforts to go green Increase influenced by datacentre growth, with estimated power required by 2026 equalling that of Japan’s

Google’s carbon emissions have soared by 51% since 2019—as AI hampers the tech company’s efforts to go green.

While they've invested in renewable energy & carbon removal tech, it's failed to curb indirect greenhouse gas emissions—in large because of data centers that power AI.

No pay wall.

So helpful. Thank you!

This article shows one of many reasons why monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of biotic marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) techniques (e.g., iron fertilization; macroalgae cultivation) is nearly impossible. 🌊

As carbon removal moves from development to deployment, the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a promising hub of innovation, investment, and policy leadership. In a new op-ed for The Business Times, we explore APAC’s rising potential for carbon removal

If you tell me that you have a robust due diligence process for #CDR procurement and also have ERW in your portfolio than you should also mention you are not risk adverse.

Swiss climate scientist: CO2 removal is tricky but essential Initiatives to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air are faltering – not because they don’t work, but because we fail to see opportunities and lack vision, says Swiss climate scientist Cyril Brunne...

Most people would prefer if CO2 removal were free. But removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it permanently is complicated and expensive, says Swiss climate scientist Cyril Brunner. ‪@brunncy.bsky.social‬

“This paper presents a bold proposal to employ a buried nuclear explosion in a remote basaltic seabed for pulverizing basalt, thereby accelerating carbon sequestration through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW).”

Or, we could just stop burning fossil fuels🤷🏻‍♂️

Carbon markets for carbon dioxide removal

🔓 : #Carbonmarkets could play a role in addressing the gap in #carbondioxideremoval, find Johnstone et al. @ox.ac.uk ‪@pik-potsdam.bsky.social

➡️ This requires examining current trends & future possibilities, especially those emergent in light of a transition from a voluntary to compliance market

There aren't really two sides to this story, as the byline makes it seem. The science is pretty clear that at best, soil carbon storage is temporary & might partially offset farm emissions, a bit. End of.

Bill Alert!
US Senate Bill S 1842 - A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to create a credit for carbon removal and storage for forest residues from wildfire management.

Heard a fair amount of skepticism at @unboundsummits.bsky.social gathering this week. Take a listen and learn. It’s critical that #CDR pathways build trust in each others tech!

See you there!

Did you know recent research shows soil carbon sequestration could offset a significant portion of CO2 emissions? This process involves storing atmospheric CO2 in soils, helping fight climate change. Could soil management become our biggest climate ally?

In a new piece, @naimme.bsky.social says PM Carney's first 100 days will be key to making Canada a leader in carbon removal. 📌 Targets, tax credits & protocol reform are on the table. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4258u8un #CarbonRemovalCanada

Trump Hollowed Out the Government’s Carbon Removal Team Widespread federal layoffs bring even more uncertainty to the DAC hubs program.

Bizarre. The fossil fuel industry has long touted DAC as a "solution" to GHG emissions. But because it's associated with the dread concept of "climate change," they're trying to subvert their own sponsors' subterfuge. #bravenewchaos
