Wishlist for 2024:
1) Arsenal wins the league
2) Project Hummingbird comes online @OctaviaCarbon
3) Buy a flat

In that order. Thanks.

Pleased to be quoted in @euronewsgreen on the need for Europe to be clear on distinct separate targets for emissions reductions, land-based carbon sequestration and permanent carbon removal. https://t.co/p5X7FNtGuy

We’re ridiculously proud to announce the 🎉 UK’s first #directaircapture plant. 🎉

Sold to the @sheffielduni, our first DAC plant will recover CO₂ from the atmosphere in a first-of-a-kind project creating jet fuel from air.

Let's not downplay the fact that @Airhive2050 just waltzed in at a price of $530 per ton. 943 tonnes largest DAC purchase of the 3rd cycle and a big nod of confidence from Frontier to the London-based outfit 👏 👏

It's been a big day for @DACCoalition members, a brief 🧵

Rinse and repeat mistakes of the past. Fuming. Literally.

New @IEA tracker update on DAC finds there are plans for at least 130(!) DAC facilities in the works, and if all were to be successfully developed, DAC would hit the level required by 2030 for IEA's Net Zero by 2050 scenario!

My thoughts:
- CfDs have been super catalytic for the renewable industry in unlocking serious finance. I think the Govt. chose well here knowing that the price of DACCS will come down significantly in the next 10 years thus reducing their level of support
