Many thanks to my excellent co-author Caleb Woodall (who's not on Twitter) as well as @CarbonWrangler who encouraged and supported this project.

Biomass in #climate models is typically seen as mostly #energy with some #carbon removal side benefit. But when carbon prices get high enough that reverses (the Aines Principle). @RogerAines @ColumbiaUEnergy @Carbon_Direct @georgetownsfs frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@matthewcgray Also, the "duration spread" (i.e. cost differentials) across that 12/24-hour curve, the 4-hour curve you've already calculated, and the coal/fossil curve would be fascinating to see.
English
@matthewcgray Thanks! 4 hours seems like a reasonable choice for a first pass analysis. However, I'd be quite interested to see the cost curve using a longer duration for renewables storage, perhaps 12 or even 24 hours.

@mtyka @bach_lennart Has there been any further attention on this idea? I can't find any follow up research or citations.
English
This paper by @mtyka about an alternative route for Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement is most certainly worth the read.

ICEF Innovation Roadmap Project chaired by @columbiaclimate's @dsandalow has released its 10th clean energy roadmap, providing "...important research on a wide range of technologies for helping achieve net zero emissions," says @IPCC_CH chair Hoesung Lee. icef.go.jp/pdf/summary/ro…

Congratulations to Alain Aspect for winning the #NobelPrize! Thanks for being good humored at ICOLS 2005 in Scotland when I also showed up wearing a kilt 😀 #Physics

With the need for up to 1,000 Gt of #carbonremoval by 2100, we are working with @Microsoft to scale the deployment of all viable CDR methods. Read our 2022 update to the Criteria for High-Quality Carbon Dioxide Removal here ⬇️ bit.ly/3MnqNCl

Boulder County just launched a Climate Innovation Fund and we're looking for project proposals that support #carbondioxideremoval and landscape resilience & restoration. Learn more here: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/COBOU…

@RogerAines Very thoughtful (as always) even in just a few sentences.

Congratulations, Nili!

For #InternationalWomensDay, @GreenBiz highlighted 8 women shaping the future of finance and ESG. Our Vice Chairwoman, Nili Gilbert, is one of them. Read how she's working with our team of 60+ scientists to finance the transition to a #NetZero economy ⬇️ bit.ly/3vWgKiq

@DustinMulvaney @JesseJenkins What about ammonia? It’s well developed for industrial HPs, and production could presumably scale faster. Also has zero GWP. It’s been studied for residential use for years although obviously has drawbacks.
English
@JesseJenkins Gotta learn who can scale up refrigerant manufacturing, especially R-410A, R-32, and R-454B.. maybe someday CO2. &, without fugitive leaks, or batch losses. Honeywell makes most of 410A, licenses more. So you need a bunch of suppliers to show up to augment refrigerant supply.
English
Ok folks: who has the best market report or info on the global heat pump supply chain? And how much production capacity could increase in a year?

@carbonplanorg So happy to see this! Too many supposedly public datasets are actually very hard to use, particularly when different entries have to be laboriously matched across datasets. Kudos to @carbonplanorg for making these data much more accessible!
English
California’s cap-and-trade program allows polluters to use carbon offsets. Although public data connects companies, facilities, and offset credit use, that information is hard to parse. Today we’re releasing a tool that makes it easier. (1/4)

Direct Air Capture (DAC) may be an important technology for addressing the #ClimateCrisis, but only if we can figure out who will pay for it, and how. Here's a look at the possible revenue streams for companies that build and operate DAC plants. #carbon nae.edu/266376/Who-Pay…
