Everything and the Carbon Sink Blog: The flawed appeal of unilateral Direct Air Capture programs to prevent climate change

„Bottom line: the idea of massive “artificial forests” may be[nbsp]an intellectually appealing way of preventing climate change, but the reality of the situation is that a broad portfolio of CDR and other GHG mitigation approaches developed through international[nbsp]collaboration still looks more promising — even with the disappointing failures of this approach to date.“

Qi, Genggeng; et al. (2014): Sponges with covalently tethered amines for high-efficiency carbon capture

Qi, Genggeng; Fu, Liling; Giannelis, Emmanuel P. (2014): Sponges with covalently tethered amines for high-efficiency carbon capture. In nature communications 5, p. 5796–5796. DOI 10.1038/ncomms6796.

„Adsorption using solid amine sorbents is an attractive emerging technology for energy-efficient carbon capture. […] Here we report a family of solid amine sorbents using a grafting-from synthesis approach and synthesized by cationic polymerization of oxazolines on mesoporous ​silica.“

The Rock River Times: Technological assessment is needed

„In late October, a two-day teach-in was held in New York that brought together leading critics of corporately controlled technologies and advocates of appropriate technologies. […] Of particular interest was Clive Hamilton’s “Playing God with Climate,” which addresses climate change and potential geo-engineering solutions.“
