Here’s a video of my Gen 1 prototype. Things have advanced from here due to academic publishing timelines, but fun to see color change caused by a change in redox states. TLDR: light brown liquid enters (top left) , dark brown liquid leaves (bot right) and is ready to capture CO2

It’s hard to summarize a year of R&D in a communications paper, but I’m excited to share my newest work. In it, I tried to tackle two major problems for electrochemical DAC: 1) material cyclability/stability and 2) the cost of required equipment. https://t.co/yptXmay2QT

[Sam Wenger @CarbonRemover]

To tackle these problems we designed a 3D printed redox flow cell, which costs a small fraction of the amount for an off-the-shelf cell. Then, we performed cycling measurements under DAC conditions to find the most oxygen insensitive of the bunch and demonstrated DAC with it!

@workincdr link?

@AndreasenJack I swear one more online marketplace could fix it bro

@Scott_R_Singer Thanks Scott!

Hot off the press! This was a fantastic collaboration to be part of. If you want to learn more about the state of play for CCS, CCU, and CDR in Australia and India, read our new paper! https://t.co/LEv32KFzOd

@Savvy_Bowman Thanks Savvy!

A long form, insightful read on glacial “geoengineering.” The Jakobshavn glacier contains enough ice to raise sea levels by 1 ft. By deliberately altering the flow of warm water, the glacier can “thicken and stabilize.” Gifted so no paywall. via @NYTimes https://t.co/1262XuOeKa

Not my American Dream. Good to be back but my urge to bike everywhere is kicking in.

@GlobalEcoGuy Here are EPA’s equivalents for 3,750 metric tons of CO2:

@GlobalEcoGuy Now do trees and number of years and acres of forest land

@dog4climate Neat perspective. Very thought provoking. I wonder how a more publicly owned approach would help or hurt innovation and commercialization? I also wonder whether the approach would be managed by a govt agency or the govt would host bids for cost + contracts like w/ defense.

@MissionZeroTech @sheffielduni This is awesome. Many congrats!

@nickvanosdol Favorite alternative?

A great opening talk by @RogerAines on Australia’s role to play

[Sam Wenger @CarbonRemover]

Hoping this is a catalyst for CDR in Australia! Exciting summit
