   This doesn't make sense, the trees themselves are valuable. Why flood the market with cheep tree's and make useful stuff out of them. As suggested earlier, we can use way more trees in our building materials ( https://n

   I think the IPCC does have some scenerio's where there is an overshoot but that can be 'recovered' using carbon removal tech. You can find some graphs on these projections here: https://chemconnections.org/Glo

   Thanks for the recommendation. Could you explain a bit more in detail why you recommend reading it? I've read a lot of online resources (IPCC, wikipedia, different lectures on advanced weathering, pyrolysis/biochar etc) and have b

   I'd second this. Great list. There's also this map with lots of carbon capture projects: https://www.thirdway.org/graphic/carbon-capture-projects-map

   What if we would make such an advanced filter, and then make it mandatory in cars. That way cars would 'clean' the air. You'd need to find a process that scales though, so that the 'dirty' filters are processed in a

   Hi Matz, this is super awesome. I'm looking for some resources to offset my carbon footprint to live carbon neutral. I was thinking about tree offsetting but I'd love to donate this to advanced weathering $20 per ton for offsettin

   I think one of the bigger problems of global warming will be mass migrations and less arable land and probably a ton of other big problems. How would you deal with those problems? Do you have any ideas on that (serious question)? And what d

   Yes according to the latest IPCC report ( http://www.ipcc.ch/report/sr15/ ) in the 1.5 degree scenario we need to deploy bio-energy combined with carbon capture storage on large scale. Carbon removal tech will bec

    Yes I think this is one of the bigger problems of these systems. So for example, let's say you've created a device that only accepts rice husk and your device pays itself off in 10 years. Now suddenly your neighboring country is s

    Hi Gustaf, I read earlier that you are more interested in Direct Air Capture technologies than others. Do you have any specific reasons? I think another way we could look at things is finding "cheap" forms of carbon that would hav

    I think geo-engineering will open Pandora's box. On one hand, we need to invest in geo-engineering as a last resort, on the other hand, if people see this as the last resort the problem of CO2 will seem less urgent. Very dangerous stuf

    We're going to need carbon removal tech AND a decrease in emissions. From year 1750 to 2007, we've added around 820 000 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. We've already got way too much CO2 in the air, and we're

    In all scenario's we need negative emissions. If you're interested in the topic, there is a really cool stanford seminar by Brentz Constantz (Cofounder of BluePlanet LTD) about viable ways to do negative emissions that are cost ef

    If you look at the recent IPCC reports, people are heavily betting on putting carbon back into the stable form. That can be in the form of carbon capture storage, or creating new building materials or other stuff out of it. I think in the n
