True story. It was great to return to #negativeco2conference, now w @JoePerryman1, and meet with @RobertHoglund & @coreyamyers again - without whom @Brineworks would not exist. Stay tuned!
Two years ago I dragged along @Guffi to this talk by @coreyamyers, and he got so excited he started @Brineworks
A full fledged Direct ocean capture company with offices in Amsterdam and really promising results!

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

Yesterday a new study was shared that estimated the cost of DACCS won’t go below $340/t. But at the same time DACCS costs from some companies are already close to, or at this level.
In this post, I show that the cost of DACCS is lower in the near term than people are assuming.

Today, we're dropping the second-annual CDR.fyi Year in Review: an in-depth look into key trends in the durable carbon removal market
Some key trends:
🚀 CDR purchases grew 7.3x to 4.5 megatonnes (Mt), up from 0.615 Mt in 2022,
🚚 Deliveries grew 2x from 2022 to 2023, up to 125kt
🌿 Biochar represented 94% of CDR deliveries

During #ClimateWeekNYC, global leaders convene to discuss vital climate action. Imagine a world where those flights don't add more emissions. Enter EP-1, our pioneering all-electric propulsion system prototype—a leap toward that reality. Learn more at cosmicaerospace.com

This is great. Don't be a destinationist.
Why tribalism and looking for a catch-all, perfect solution gets in the way of progress on climate change.

I am available for contract work! Let me know if you need an experienced developer - my preference is fullstack TypeScript, but I also have Python/Postgres experience. read.cv/jokull
Congratulations!
Big milestone alert!🌏The injection of CO2 started at ON Power’s geothermal plant at Nesjavellir. The project is a significant milestone on Iceland‘s path towards capturing and storing all #CO2 emissions of all geothermal power plants in the country. lnkd.in/eHW2aWRY

ChatGPT is one of those rare moments in technology where you see a glimmer of how everything is going to be different going forward.

Þrjú random tíst í einu:
– ætli sé gaman í þessari ríkisstjórn?
– það er fáránlegt hve margir eru á nagladekkjum í 101.
– hvað er forstjóri Bankasýslu að gera núna í vinnunni? – at Iceland
Mér þykir ríkisstjórn þín @katrinjak vera komin á endastöð. Undir þinni forystu horfum við upp á grófar brottvísanir og hatramma umræðu um útlendingamál, misheppnaða bankasölu og slagkraftslitlar aðgerðir í loftslagsmálum. 1/3
Þar að auki sitjum við uppi með mann sem hefur gerst sekur um skattsvik í skattaskjólum sem fjármálaráðherra, í þínu umboði í 5 ár. Þessi upptalning gæti verið miklu lengri. 2/3

Donate directly to volunteer groups in Ukraine. They perform "virtually all humanitarian aid" but have only gotten 0,24% of donations. The big NGOs have only used very small part of the money they got in, bureaucracy and risk intolerance gets in the way.

Var að lenda á Íslandi, var að installa klappinu í en það tekur ekki við greiðslukortunum mínum. Er effectively frítt í @straetobs núna eða þarf ég að ná mér í nokkra 500kr. seðla? (Er að spyrja í alvöru)
