Okay it's not cargo, but I've seen some innovative "eco" developments in the personal yacht space. Take Daedalus yachts[0] for example, a USA built, lightweight (carbon fibre) sailing yacht with the aim of being zero emi

Have a play with the CO2 emissions data from OurWorldInData[0]. 416 tons is not to be sniffed at although it is small in the grand scheme of things. The biggest benefit by Stripe purchasing carbon removal is the increase in awareness, fundi

I'm looking at doing something similar (in Scotland) and am investigating the possibility of a small, on-site bio-char reactor. Without a huge amount of research so far my high level plan is to convert waste bio-mass into biochar to se

Hmm not to my knowledge but that's a really interesting structure and I will definitely see if Switzerland has something similar. Thanks for the tip!

It's more than the snapshot figure now though. Carbon removal is early in the development cycle and needs rapid acceleration to be able to become more efficient and scalable. However often the cost overshadows this need and companies c

Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually both happy and sad that the weighting of trees puts you off a little. Happy because it shows you know and value the active carbon removal, sad that you're a little deterred from using the prod

Well..that makes sense. Thanks

Self plug but I have seen people saying they wish they could also support Charm and other carbon removal methods. Please check out Carbon Removed[0] which offers negative emissions subscriptions and one-time purchases. We are partnered with

The "grey carbon" (or emissions produced for the removal) are taken into account yes. Climeworks works with a geothermal power plant in Iceland for sustainable power to limit the CO₂ produced and only sells the "net negative

You can buy it (carbon removal via Charm) as part of a portfolio of carbon removal (including Climeworks - another Stripe partner - and Greensand, an already active equivalent of Project Vesta) at https://carbonremoved.com Edit:

On a serious note...that's not a bad idea. I will need to find out why that's the case (although I imagine it's something to do with the pyrolysis leaving a more stable and predictable carbon-rich mass rather than leaving the

Stripe bought 416 tons at $600/ton [0] and Shopify has committed $5million annually[1] to carbon removal (including Charm at what I presume is a similar price point) I am heavily bullish at the growth of carbon removal. Not as an excus

Yes, absolutely. These are not mutually exclusive events. We need to reduce our emissions and stop pumping oil out (develop clean alternatives). We need to remove the existing excess of emissions in our atmosphere to get down to more natura

Check out UltimateHackingKeyboard [0] for a developed, split, open-source keyboard. Can definitely recommend. [0] https://uhk.io/

Another advantage is that the keymapping can get saved onto the keyboard itself. Plug your keyboard into a new computer and the keymapping stays the same.

Personally I've been really happy with my split 60% keyboard from UltimateHackingKeyboard [0]. It also has open source electronics files and firmware I backed them on CrowdSupply some years ago and although it took a while to be delive

Thank you! That was really informative and I will check out those links to learn more. I've been developing with Go for a few years now but never strayed too low level so was unsure how this change in Go 1.16 would affect me. I doubt m

Humanity will be reactive but hopefully some of us can be proactive.

Agree with you. I think extreme capitalism has driven greed to a point where people no-longer consider the ethical or social issues as they do not contribute to the bottom line. However i do have faith that more emphasis is being put on the

Granted sweeping political legislation will have larger effects but a lot of industry is fundamentally driven by consumers. Like voting a single individual can feel helpless but on mass changes that reduce ones own footprint and focus more

With the excess CO2 we have in the atmosphere generated by humanties addition to fossil fuels, nature itself cannot act fast enough to save us. Over millenia trees, natural carbon weathering and other processes will stabalize conditions but

by kisamoto 6y ago
If we could stop emitting today there is still a significant excess of CO2 that needs to be removed to stabilise our climate. Removal is not a substitute for reducing, it's a complimentary approach required for a long term, sustainable

Sadly not enough at this point. Need to also invest into other removal methods (while also restoring trees, mangroves and other naturally sequestering wilderness)

Check out carbfix in Iceland who do exactly that. Use geothermal heat to capture and store atmospheric carbon. It's early but promising. As with all technologies they need demand and development to bring efficiency up and costs down.
