There have been some detalied life-cycle analysis of certain carbon capture methods/plants. As one of the most famous (& funded), Climeworks have had a third party study published to break this down[1] [1] https://www.na

Why do you perceive carbon removal as greenwashing?

by kisamoto 4y ago
If it were that binary - yes. But we also need to progress the efficiency of carbon capture. As the linked article states, "economies of scale and efficiency improvements would undoubtedly help" and we can only get there by contin

Yup, the latest IPCC report relies heavily on carbon capture in a lot of the predicted 'limitation' scenarios. We do not see carbon removal as an excuse to continue polluting or not reduce emissions. It's a "both" s

We're working on that with the end goal of using our own API to remove the carbon footprint of them. Plus for customers where it's not relevant we'll offer a fully on-demand model where nothing is sent but available for gener

Thank you so much! We know that carbon removal (and climate change in general) is a controversial topic so we really appreciate your kind words.

The machines must result in more capture & storage than they produce - net negative emissions. For example, using a machine to heat waste biomass with fast pyrolysis turns the biomass into bio-oil. Bio-oil can then be pumped underground

We're in talk with a couple of bio-char partners yet but I'm afraid you can't purchase it yet because we don't have one onboarded. It's mentioned as we see it as a meaningful removal method (and will hopefully have

But we have to allocate some resources to start the development process now (and hopefully make it more efficient and effective).

It's a good point. We want to do a real deep dive into the emissions involved in all our products and do keep an eye on both our personal and service emissions. Tracking is mostly for fast error identification at this early stage and b

Renewables are used whenever possible. Even if fossil fuels are used the end result is captured carbon dioxide (net negative).

Carbon removal is definitely not mututally exclusive to reducing emissions in the first place. Avoiding emissions is cheaper and easier than removing them. But realistically we can't stop emitting tomorrow and even if we could, we have

Yup, will make the methods more present on the homepage so you don't have to click around. I understand your hesitation on tree planting and mineralization however it is optional if you choose to purchase these methods. Others prefer t

Good idea to have it on the front page. We do have more info on our partners and the relevant removal methods in the other docs[1] but I'll add some info to the homepage to make that clearer, faster. Thanks for the suggestion. [1] htt

Yes, we need to decarbonize. But that doesn't mean we can't also try to accelerate the removal of carbon from our atmosphere.

But it's worth trying.

Jira for me goes into the same bucket as SAP & Salesforce. Huge machines capable of doing everything. As a result, unable to do anything particularly well. Bloated, expensive and only still in business because decision makers know the n

While it may have been popularized by BP this is by no means a reason to ignore the emissions caused by an individual. Call it something else if you'd like but individuals do cause emissions and they should take responsibility to lower

If you're a small business struggling to understand carbon offsets and removal I'll be happy to help. I run https://carbonremoved.com/ for individuals and we're beginning to work with businesses too. Email me

I think greedy is still a valid criticism - just because it's "for profit" doesn't mean "max out the profit at the expense of others". If we assume that not all people (as it is people who drive these organisat

Some people like work from home, some like being in the office. Why force either? But I understand it's far easier for companies to pick one and apply (especially Apple and other large companies who have invested heavily in expensive r
