Reverse Carbon Mining Project

For 200 years we dug up coal. Now we start putting it back underground - and generate a superior type of carbon removal credits.

Wir brauchen eure Hilfe! Wir arbeiten daran, dass die 1.5-2°C #Klimaziele erreichbar bleiben. Und zwar, durch permanente, verifizierbare, messbare und skalierbare Negativ-Emissionen #CDR! Eure Stimme auf https://t.co/2osvefvRtG beschleunigt das Reverse Carbon Mining Project #RCMP

So funktioniert der Ablasshandel über CO2-Offset Produkte. Der Großteil davon ist Greenwashing und trägt gar nicht zur CO2 Reduktion bei.

Wir wollen das ändern.

Permanente Reduktion.
Nachweisbar.
Genau definiert.
Weltweit skalierbar.

@michaelakroemer Vielen Dank! 🙏

[MichaelaKrömer @michaelakroemer]

Wir müssen runter vom CO2 und das tatsächlich mit allen Mitteln. Dazu zählen auch (und nicht ausschließlich) Methoden zu finden, negativ Emissionen zu schaffen. In einer Krise darf keine Option ungenützt bleiben, diese hier ist reizvoll und jedenfalls unterstützenswert 👇🏾

Leider hat die Voting-Seite grad technische Probleme... 🙃

Together with many other interesting projects we were invited to present at the #ÖBIKA Biochar-Day. Pictures and presentations can be found below:

Even if such a biogenic char deposit were, e.g., unburied by a disaster like a flooding incident, the CO2 would be released extremely slowly (comparable to soil amendment). Buried biomass, on the other hand, would start to rot.

[Reverse Carbon Mining Project @RCM_project]

@RobertHoglund, any chance you could add "biogenic char burial" to the list? Yes, we can use high-quality biochar as a soil amendment, but it is (by far) not a betterment for every soil. Also, for burial, we can utilize biogenic chars of lower quality as well.

Thank you to everyone commenting on the new carbon storage classification I put out. Ver 2.0 is now published in @illuminemNews https://t.co/x70XRCrKGz

Added distinction between very low/low/high risk of reversal, +biooil +changes to the article text.

More comments welcome!

[Reverse Carbon Mining Project @RCM_project]

The same goes for deposits closer to the surface. Those would allow for a much more small-scale & decentralized approach compared to geological sites. However, it is true that in desperate times (e.g., nuclear winter), the incentive to re-extract coal deposits would be tempting.

So, is the argument that if the science of, say, weight loss suggests you need to combine sufficient diet and exercise to get to net weight loss, that we shouldn't mention exercise lest merely hearing about exercise is a dangerous trap and causes the patient not to diet enough?🤔

Wenn ein Schiff ein Leck hat und beinahe sinkt, muss ich auch das Leck stopfen UND das Wasser rauspumpen. Ich kann nicht sagen: Pumpen ist falsch, das suggeriert bloß, das Leck könne bleiben!"
Genauso brauchen wir CO2-Emissionsstopp UND alle Zusatzmaßnahmen, die hilfreich sind.

[Florian Aigner @florianaigner]

Immer wenn Klimamaßnahmen wie CarbonCapture oder Erhöhung der Albedo vorgeschlagen werden, heißt es: "Pfui! Das ist nur eine Ausrede, um weiter CO2 auszustoßen!"
Das ärgert mich. Natürlich müssen wir CO2-Ausstoß stoppen. Aber zusätzlich werden wir noch weitere Maßnahmen brauchen.

The killer app of biomass isn’t energy, it’s carbon.

[Robert Höglund @RobertHoglund]

Can't believe I missed this. Great work by @carbonplanorg Ton-year accounting should not be implemented.
"Using ton-year accounting to justify ongoing emissions with short-term carbon storage leads to higher warming over time, not climate stabilization."

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

The Paris Agreement has an ambition of 1.5°C, IPCC has said this requires ~50% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030 & net zero in early 2050s.

I am sure this is a scientifically interesting request, but I wonder how policy relevant it is now? Biggest issue is raising ambition?
