A third of the Arctic’s vast carbon sink now a source of emissions, study reveals Critical CO2 stores held in permafrost are being released as the landscape changes with global heating, report shows

“There is a load of carbon in the Arctic soils. It’s close to half of the Earth’s soil carbon pool. That’s much more than there is in the atmosphere. There’s a huge potential reservoir that should ideally stay in the ground."

Wildfires offset the increasing but spatially heterogeneous Arctic–boreal CO2 uptake - Nature Climate Change How the carbon stocks of the Arctic–Boreal Zone change with warming is not well understood. Here the authors show that wildfires and large regional differences in net carbon fluxes offset the overall increasing CO2 uptake.

The Arctic–Boreal Zone is rapidly warming, impacting its large soil carbon stocks. Tundra regions may have already started to function on average as CO2 sources, demonstrating a shift in carbon dynamics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We (@clocarbon.bsky.social) spend our lives designing non-wealth-extracting, localised economies around the efficient and effective management of biogenic carbon.

Burying biomass/wood in "vaults" goes beyond a level of ignorance that is hard to comprehend.

(How) can we rely on self-regulation of voluntary carbon markets (#VCM)? How can we improve quality of the inherently complicated land of counter-factuals? How can we govern project-based climate action ( better)? The resignation of two experts from the #ICVCM Expert Panel carry important lessons 🧵

This New York town doesn't want to be a climate experiment A developer wanted to build a facility to capture carbon. Locals saw an environmental menace.

I think a lot about community opposition as a major barrier to the climate infrastructure we need, and I'm thrilled to have edited this fascinating deep dive into a small town's battle over biochar. grist.org/health/bioch...

New powder that captures carbon could be ‘quantum leap’ for industry A ‘covalent organic framework’ can be used to capture carbon to store it or convert it for industrial use

"Just half a pound of the stuff may remove as much carbon dioxide as a tree can". What the f**k does that even mean?

A mature tree removes ~25 kg of CO₂/year. This "new powder" is a sorbent with a capacity of 0.96 mmol/g, so that's 0.0096 kg of CO₂ per 0.5 lbs. You'd need 1305 lbs to equal a tree.

Happy to share/exchange knowledge to promote

Hi Brigitte, staff here have been involved in the design/build of biochar production technologies and beneficial economic models for more than 30yrs.

These links will take you to two key documents published recently:

“Before designers can ethically engage in the production of CDR landscapes and infrastructures, they must learn how to navigate these debates and make sense of the ways that CDR will transform the Earth’s landscapes and atmosphere—for better and for worse.”

Cooking the climate books: New peer-reviewed study finds carbon credit impact vastly overstated - Carbon Market Watch Over 80% of carbon credits issued by more than 2,000 projects have a much lower climate impact than they claim, a new meta study finds. This has serious

Over 80% of carbon credits issued by more than 2,000 projects have a much lower climate impact than they claim, a new meta study finds.

This has serious implications for the voluntary carbon market.
