@guylikeJeff @natrevcleantech sounds right to me !😄😄 . the climate community is summoned!

[Jeffrey Dankwa Ampah @guylikeJeff]

Someone somewhere is currently preparing a perspective paper “How much should the rest of the world ratchet their climate ambitions to keep 1.5C alive to fill the gap created by Trump’s decision?” 🤫
@HughAdun idea for @natrevcleantech ?

[Environmental Science & Technology Journals @EnvSciTech]

From the cover of ES&T: @HughAdun and team investigate the implications of transitioning to targeted #ZeroEmission electricity under the net-zero #GreenhouseGas (NZ GHG) emission trajectory across African regions. #FossilFuels

Global future carbon removal efforts would largely be concentrated in Asia. Here, this study shows that multi-gigatonnes expectation of carbon removal could have adverse impact on the energy-land-water system of countries and regions within the continent https://t.co/fhXokcXaGo

[Climate Interactive @climateinteract]

New publication!📣 Climate Ambassador @HughAdun and other researchers have compared #EnROADS scenarios with different levels of CO2 Removal (CDR). The study reinforces that CDR must complement emission reduction to expedite achieving our climate goals.👇 https://t.co/iaz2pWbKik

[HUMPHREY HUGH ADUN @HughAdun]

Why play catch-up with CO2? emitting now to remove later is not synonymous with not emitting! Prevention beats correction everytime! #sectoralTargets #SeparateReductionFromRemovals #CDRremainsComplementary

@RapYoAbstract Watch @guylikeJeff’s career growth. He’s the most productive of all PhD students I have ever seen. AND he simultaneously represents both Africa AND Asia.

tl;dr: High reliance on CO₂ removal (#CDR) is bad for CO₂ emissions, as we as land, water, and fertilizer use. But CDR does have a role. Policies should focus on reducing emissions by 80–90%, and CDR can address the remaining 10–20%, especially in hard-to-abate sectors.

Special shoutout to my amazing co-authors (those on X) @sandieluv29 @HughAdun @_david_ho_ @HMcJeon for their wonderful and key contributions to this study 🫡🫡🫡

🌏NEW PAPER🌏

What’s amazing about this yet another CDR paper is that it’s written by THE SAME GUY JEFF who just published the first ever African CDR paper. And then he just followed up with the Asian CDR paper. This guy @guylikeJeff is on 🔥🔥🔥

Here’s the African CDR paper.

@RapYoAbstract @guylikeJeff Some people like to just sit around and complain about how they aren’t privileged like US and EU. @guylikeJeff he just gets it done and shows the world how it’s done.

A massive AI CDR Heart to keep track of all the research

Only one person in the world probably scans through the majority of CDR publications, and that's Andrew Lockley @geoengineering1. For the rest of us, we have to pick and choose, with only specialists in specific CDR methods able to follow all the research developments. Today, there are over 50,000 publications on CDR, with most research coming from China, driven by studies on biochar and soil carbon sequestration interestingly enough.

There is a solution: the State of CDR team has built a living, AI-enhanced systematic map of CDR research that tracks developments in the field almost in real-time.

The interactive tool, hosted on the State of CDR Data Portal, lets users identify relevant research through pre-defined filters.

Very cool

We need CDR on every continent, this paper lays out the case for Africa!

This is exactly the type of research we want in the 21st century. This is what we hoped for when we went fully open-source model.

Take the model, do whatever you want with it, publish awesome papers!
