Great and inspiring video featuring James Mwangi and the team at Octavia Carbon on the promise and potential of DAC in Kenya. Interestingly, it's courtesy of Chinese giant Tencent, which is getting involved in the sector there. youtu.be/sCDUnOTFZtI

$415M in financing for solar project to provide clean power for 1PointFive's Stratos DAC facility in Texas renewablesnow.com/news/origis-...

In the market for a Lego model of a DAC vacuum system? The good folks at Leybold have you covered! www.dacvac.com/dacvac-lego-...

There's more clean energy generation capacity in the interconnection queue than TOTAL installed electricity capacity from all sources in the U.S., as of 2023

The "research but don't deploy" argument is akin to reading a few books on how to train for a marathon, not do any actual training, and yet expect to be able to run 26.2 miles on race day.

Excellent new DOE Carbon Negative Earthshot report on "Technological Innovation Opportunities for CO2 Removal" www.energy.gov/sites/defaul...

🚨DAC NOFO RELEASED! 🚨 @ENERGY has opened applications for $1.8 billion to provide direct air capture (DAC) technology and project developers with support at various stages on their commercialization path towards the realization of 4 regional DAC hubs. www.energy.gov/oced/regiona...

2/2 As little as $5 once. As large as tons a month. Personal, company, or enterprise. Great gift for those who celebrate the holidays. Or for anyone anytime. PS: You can learn more about this scrappy Kenyan DAC company at their main website: www.octaviacarbon.com

1/2 Just in time for the Holidays. More CO2 removal from Octavia Carbon I voted with my feet years ago, subscribing to the Climeworks Pioneers. By subscribing to Octavia, I’ve purchased additional CDR to my personal climate commitments  Check out their website. www.octaviacarbon.com/remove-co2

The Government of Canada has announced its climate targets for 2035. We applaud the government for recognizing the urgent need to address residual emissions, through carbon removal, in addition to reducing emissions. 🌎✨ Read our press release: carbonremoval.ca/press-releas...

1/ I wrote for NYT on a 3-prong strategy for climate progress under Trump. -innovation & industrial strategy -pragmatism on fossil fuels -expand interests that benefit from decarb This same approach led to IRA/IIJA. But it did not pass the test for many activist groups.

Every major environmental issue that we've made progress on, i.e., acid rain, ozone hole, etc has been because of "incremental or tech" solutions.

"The climate movement needs a broader coalition ... Climate shouldn’t be the exclusive domain of activists who pass a purity test based on intention, but instead on a pragmatic evaluation of what's needed to make decarbonization good business, regardless of politics." www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/o...

🚨 Big news from Absolute Climate! 🚨 We’re thrilled to announce the adoption of the Absolute Carbon Standard (ACS) by @EvidentGlobal , a trusted leader in sustainability certification. Together, we’re bringing **transparency**, **trust, and scientific rigor** to carbon removal. 🌍 👇
