Passive mineral DAC -- I'm a solid oxide, In trays, not a box. I've got no fan, I'm just crushed rocks. When I get all filled up, Here me shout! ♨️Heat me up, and pull the CO2 out. ♨️

Stopping CO2 emissions is the holy grail. Permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere for <$100 p/t will also be vital. How will this cost reduction happen? Great piece by and explaining the drivers for this #ClimateCrisis #COP27 #ClimateAction

Rapidly reducing the costs of #carbonremoval requires a clear understanding of different cost reduction factors. Grateful to have Grant Faber write a guest post that spells out the cost reduction potential of each factor to bring down the cost of CDR. carboncurve.substack.com/p/reducing-cdr

"The bill is just a monumental accelerator for a whole host of technologies that serve to decarbonize one sector or another,”- It's "massive,"- . "This will speed up our [DAC tech] deployment by several years.”

Capturing and storing CO2 holds great promise - but it isn't a straightforward journey. Join Andrew Shebbeare (@wecounteract), @ShashankSamala (@heirloomcarbon) + Carlijn Nouwen (Climate Action Platform Africa) + a stealth company to discuss DAC. Join👇 thedropconf.com

In March, Microsoft became an early investor in our efforts to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Today, they're the latest customer of our carbon removal credits and to work toward a long-term agreement to continue purchasing credits over the coming years. Thank you Microsoft!

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is not the same as carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), and we need to stop inaccurately conflating the two. CDR removes atmospheric CO2. Its carbon negative. CCS (w/fossil fuels) reduces the amount of CO2 emitted. It's at best carbon neutral.

DAC only makes sense if combined with efforts to decarbonize electricity grids. Work needs to be done on improving DAC systems and driving down energy usage - a core focus of ours at Heirloom.
