280 Earth’s Post

Three years ago, our co-founders Huade Tan and Nathan Silvernail asked if they could engineer a way to quickly and reliably draw carbon out of the atmosphere while, at the same time, creating a durable product that millions of customers would find useful. They believed the answer to this question was a resounding yes and Plantd was born.

Can we count on techniques to stop factories and power plants from emitting carbon dioxide? Is blocking some of the sun's energy using sulfate aerosols in the atmosphere a viable climate solution? We take a closer look at two climate fixes that sound like science fiction: solar geoengineering and carbon capture and storage.

Are you interested in learning more about carbon capture and storage opportunities in Colorado? Are you curious about how carbon capture and storage can be used to meet Colorado's #climate goals? Check out our newly released fact sheet!

https://lnkd.in/g-BEV7zr This is important news. Direct Air Capture plants are just one of several working methods for Climate Restoration. See the https://lnkd.in/grQsSUTn for the bigger picture of how we can restore our climate to pre-industrial revolution levels of CO 2 and methane. These are practical scientific, scalable and affordable methods available now.

Arizona is home to a growing climate tech ecosystem that leverages human ingenuity to reduce and slow the effects of climate change through the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using direct air capture technology. Climate-related challenges are affecting the state, and Governor Katie Hobbs stresses that “we are in a critical moment where we must be unified.” Learn more: https://bit.ly/49bbiYO #climatechange #AZ #co2

Valentine's Day is over, but the love for batteries continues on! As MIT Technology Review writes, from their key role in climate action to their versatility, there’s a lot to appreciate. I am excited to attend today's roundtable, Building a Cleaner Future: Better Batteries and Their Materials today to hear more. Article includes link to join. #climatechange #energy #batterytechnology #batteries Colleen Rubart Casey Crownhart David Rotman James Temple

The first approach capable of proving both “Industrial Process Heat” & “Grid-Scale Electrical Storage” requirements that I’ve come across. Better yet, there’s no need for “unobtainum” OR “just 20 more years of research”. I definitely have my fingers crossed for this one.

Here's a roundup of some promising climate news. Change is slow, but it happens in an instant. Exciting developments from the clean tech s-curve to the newest version of Settlers of Catan. #ClimateChange #CleanTech

Good article about active planetary cooling by Zeke Hausfather. The article discusses the most commonly advocated version of #SolarRadiationManagement: stratospheric aerosol injection, which is indeed relatively affordable but also relatively uncontrolled and unpredictable. Personally I think we should also research more localized and controlled approaches such as #MarineCloudBrightening as proposed by the Cambridge Centre for Climate Repair and #ArcticIceThickening as proposed by the startups Arctic Reflections and Real Ice . Important note: engaging in active cooling without a strong commitment to reducing CO2 emissions would be irresponsible. I think we should deploy cooling only when we have a strong and binding carbon reduction and removal strategy in place. The most viable policy proposal I am aware of is a #CarbonTakebackObligation for the fossil fuel industry.

🌍 The U.S. reports nearly 75% of #greenhouse gas emissions come from #transportation, #electricity, and industry. Join the Biorefining and #Biomanufacturing Symposium at #TCW24 to explore #sustainable solutions this June 17-19 with Graphyte , Idaho National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Colorado State University, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Marquis Inc, Chevron, and GTI Energy. Let's fight #climate change! https://bit.ly/3ywe1j2
