As a fan of @propublica, it's disappointing to see them put out inaccurate and misleading content on carbon capture
Although seeing this is a partnership with Drilled Media, it makes sense, as they are a long-time purveyor of false information on CCS
Let's look at it👇👇 🧵🧵
Full launch on a new Dashboard
Fifty years of public funding across 8 major energy sources
Lots of context and caveats all laid out in the link in my bio but a few key points below🧵

Super impressed and proud of @AndreasenJack for aptly explaining the massive carbon management opportunity for America in the US Senate @EPWGOP hearing today.
Disappointing outcome and a missed opportunity... blaming House Rs for tanking it misses the broader point that a bunch of groups spent months erroneously calling the permitting proposal a fossil fuel giveaway.
Lessons learned the hard way on this one.
The evidence just keeps stacking up the DAC is taking community engagement seriously and the.m communities are responding
This time @Climeworks

The @DACCoalition is grateful to California's @AirResources for their leadership in creating pathways for Direct Air Capture technology through a world-leading lower carbon fuel standard. Next stop, net zero! @mslianeran@CARB_EO@CAgovernor@GavinNewsom

Direct Air Capture needs demand to scale. A few buyers and 45Q isn't an industry, it's an infancy.
To that end, @Energy is asking for information on how to help scale DAC, both demand, and otherwise
You've got until Dec 17th! My thoughts below

We're proud to partner with @MorganStanley!
We'll permanently remove 40,000 tons of CO₂ from the air on behalf of the financial institution through 2037, which marks our second-largest contract to date.

Care about real action to fight climate change and frustrated by lack of progress? Read this important thread by @JaneAFlegal to understand why invectives against permitting reform are counterproductive
1/ Okay, it's time to weigh in on the permitting discussion. The letter from 118 climate scientists opposing the bipartisan EPRA bill is really upsetting and full of misinformation: https://t.co/bUxQ9ZZwbp
This is an interesting article that provides some greater context on the LNG expansion debate
But it provides very little substance on carbon capture, even though, strangely enough, it's in the URL
Let's look!👇

A recent report from IEEFA on the Sleipner and Snøhvit CO2 storage fields left much to be desired from a technical and rhetorical stand-point, it's a long one I'm sorry 👇here we go:

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) gets more interesting by the day, and 2023 has been a banner of a year. Why so much money and attention? Why so much hate and ridicule? How to make sense of this?
Let’s unpack: The action, love, hate, hard topics, ambivalence, leadership, future. /1
On Friday, @ENERGY announced 21 projects eligible to funding under its Regional DAC Hub Program - and we are immensely excited that three out of three DAC Hub applications that Climeworks participates in were selected! Read more: https://t.co/ZW4Z75p0G7 #projectcypress#dachubs
