The #StateOfCDR team met at @uwmadison.bsky.social to advance our 3rd Edition and first Insight Report ahead of #COP30. Grateful to our global #CDR community and to @uwlafollette.bsky.social for hosting and sparking rich discussions on #ClimateAction🌎

🚨 NEW PAPER🚨 We showed that R&D investment is the most cost effective for reducing DACS costs compared to other scaling methods. However, if the technology is already mature with high learning rates and low potential for technological breakthroughs, then R&D yields no net benefit. #CDR #DAC

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as a Research Scientist, working on Energy Transition and Carbon Removal at the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies,(SAGE),UW-Madison. Working with the incredible @energymorgan.bsky.social #StateofCDR #Netzero

Manchester United never do this again. My heart cannot take it. What a game! Incredible stuff.. #MUFC

Eight states across the US are piloting projects that replace fossil gas networks with shared ground-source heat pumps, via @volts.wtf. Any Canadian provinces? www.volts.wtf/p/thermal-en...

Thermal energy networks are the next big thing

Could gas utilities transform into "thermal utilities"? Here's how networked heat pumps could give them a whole new business model instead of going extinct.

Wonderful read. I can finally go through my timeline on a social media platform. Happy to be back!. "Much of what we experience as ‘transformation’ involves some stretching or shattering of an artificial and often brittle boundary in moments of expansive awakening."

I read this weeks ago and can't get it out of my head. A must-read (& share) for anyone serious about systems change. "Complexity approaches generally begin with the assumption that it is not possible to direct a living system along a linear pathway no matter how desirable the potential outcomes."

Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it news.mit.edu/2024/reality...

Reality check on technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the air

An MIT Energy Initiative study finds many climate-stabilization plans are based on questionable assumptions about the future cost and deployment of “direct air capture” and therefore may not bring abo...

Climate change poses enormous risks and uncertainties. How can military leaders understand what the future might look like? To better anticipate potential scenarios, RAND experts developed an analytic card game set in the 2040s: www.rand.org/pubs/article...

Wargaming the Future of Climate Change

The U.S. Department of Defense describes climate change as a critical national security issue and a “threat multiplier.” A new card game can help military leaders think through how climate change migh...

Hey everyone help me welcome @fkanyako.bsky.social who joined us in the #GreatSkyMigration. He is an energy research scholar who focuses on wind energy, sustainability, and energy modeling. He looks at US and Africa. One of my fave papers of his is here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
