„Climate justice is now essential to addressing racial justice in America, and we need to invest in research on a wide portfolio of options to ensure the health, safety, and the viability of these communities against a rapidly escalating problem.“
„Implemented in the right way, preserving the huge, existing reservoirs of vegetative and soil carbon in the world’s remaining forests and woody savannas by boosting productivity on existing agricultural land (a land sparing strategy) is the largest, potential climate mitigation prize of regenerative and other agricultural practices.“
„Jiao recently received two grants from the Department of Energy (DOE) to advance technologies for carbon capture and utilization through catalysis, the use of substances to speed the rate of chemical reactions.“
„The good news is that the lab coat[nbsp](and hard-hat)[nbsp]wearing eggheads[nbsp]at innovative Canadian start-up,[nbsp]Carbon Engineering,[nbsp]have[nbsp]indeed[nbsp]figured out[nbsp]a[nbsp]way to help[nbsp]save[nbsp]our species from itself[nbsp]– “Direct Air Capture” technology that pulls CO2[nbsp]out of the atmosphere and sequesters it[nbsp]to its original home[nbsp]far below the earth’s surface.“

„Every year, mining and industrial activity generates billions of tons of slurries, gravel, and other wastes that have a high pH. These alkaline wastes, which sit either behind fragile dams or heaped in massive piles, present a threat to people and ecosystems. But alkaline wastes could also help the world avert climate disaster. Reacting these wastes with carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air converts gaseous carbon into minerals and neutralizes the wastes‘ alkalinity.“
„Founded by Paul Gambill, a former Deloitte Technology employee who left the firm in 2015 to begin working on a company that would tackle climate change, Nori uses blockchain to solve the “double counting” that exists in the carbon offset market.“
Cook-Patton, Susan C.; Leavitt, Sara M.; Gibbs, David; Harris, Nancy L.; Lister, Kristine; Anderson-Teixeira, Kristina J. et al. (2020): Mapping carbon accumulation potential from global natural forest regrowth. In Nature 585 (7826), pp. 545–550. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2686-x.
„Regrowing natural forests is a prominent strategy for capturing additional carbon3, but accurate assessments of its potential are limited by uncertainty and variability in carbon accumulation rates2,3. To assess why and where rates differ, here we compile 13,112 georeferenced measurements of carbon accumulation.“
IRENA (2020): Reaching zero with renewables: Eliminating CO2 emissions from industry and transport in line with the 1.5°C climate goal. International Renewable Energy Agency. Abu Dhabi.
„The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has produced a comprehensive study of deep decarbonisation options, focused on reaching zero into time to fulfil the Paris Agreement and hold the line on rising global temperatures.“
„Blue Planet says that compared with traditional methods of making concrete, its technology reduces CO2 by about 100 kilograms per ton.“
„Carbon capture is potentially on the cusp of acquiring a major role in meeting the world’s climate change mitigation goals. The challenge: how to transform this expensive, 40-year-old niche technology into one that is mainstream and cost competitive.“
