This startup is using seaweed to sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Running Tide Technologies plans to grow significant amounts of kelp and then bury it at the bottom of the ocean. https://t.co/WQNenPUHi2
In Cambodia, @huskventures turns waste biomass into biochar using pyrolysis (applying heat in the absence of oxygen).
Normally, this waste would decompose and release CO2 into the atmosphere. But, as biochar, the carbon stays in a stable form and can be stored for 100s of years.
@greenSandco2 leverages a different type of mineralization to capture CO2. Olivine, an abundant mineral, reacts with the CO2 in the ambient air to create a stable carbonate.
They deploy piles of this green rock in locations all over Europe to sequester carbon 🟢🪨
Our friends over in @clearloopUS are driving the decarbonization of the dirty Tennessee grid by developing solar farms.
Every dollar spent displaces fossil fuel based electricity and drives local job creation. 👷♂️👷♀️
@CarbonCure is coming off of a big week after winning an @xprize for their novel tech that leverages a process called "mineralization."
They take CO2, mix it with concrete, and out comes a stable carbonate that can last for 1000+ years.
Now that's permanent ✅
In @MaxNova90's words: @SilviaTerra is putting carbon on the same economic footing at timber. They provide the exchange infrastructure to protect forests that are at immediate risk of logging.
Mature trees remove carbon faster than saplings, let's let them be.
Up first, @CharmIndustrial. The team at Charm takes bio-oil and injects it underground.
We like to think of this a little bit like reverse oil drilling. They are taking carbon from above the Earth's crust and putting it back to where it came from.
