In a recently published paper, researchers use “an LCA approach to calculate the Long-Lasting #CarbonSequestration (LLCS) of #seaweed, which can be understood as the difference between #CarbonFixation & released C throughout the life cycle of seaweed.”

In a recently published paper, researchers use “an LCA approach to calculate the Long-Lasting #CarbonSequestration (LLCS) of #seaweed, which can be understood as the difference between #CarbonFixation & released C throughout the life cycle of seaweed.”
🧵1/9
Using kelp (Laminaria japonica) as an example of seaweed, the present study “validates the procedure of calculating the LLCS of seaweed throughout its whole life cycle in Ailian Bay from nursery to processing into #biochar (fertilizer) as the final product.”

The results showed that “the #CarbonSequestration (full life cycle) of kelp in Ailian Bay was 97.73g C /m2/year.”

🚨NEW PAPER🚨
"Utilization of biochar as a cementitious material aids in CO2 sequestration by impeding the release of C in the atm. So, a recent study reviewed the prospect of #biochar as a #cementitious material by evaluating its physical, mechanical & durability properties."🧵
"Utilization of biochar as a cementitious material aids in CO2 sequestration by impeding the release of C in the atm. So, a recent study reviewed the prospect of #biochar as a #cementitious material by evaluating its physical, mechanical & durability properties."🧵
This research suggested that "the physical properties of #biochar promote its use as an environmental control device."

According to the study, #pozzolan is a siliceous & aluminous material
that chemically reacts with Ca(OH)2 at room temp to form compounds having #cementitious attributes. So, some of the silica-rich biochars, like the ones derived from #RiceHusk have pozzolanic properties."

Among all N-doped biochars, "the #biochar prepared with corncob🌽 powder, K2CO3 & urea at 800°C showed highest #adsorption ability (5.69 mmol/g at 0°C & 1 bar) & selectivity (38.24 at CO2/N2 = 10/90). The biochar also showed excellent thermal stability & cycle performance."

"Notable, correlation analysis showed that ultra-micropores were the decisive factor for #CO2 #adsorption at low temperatures; nevertheless, the effect of N-doping would gradually appear with the increase of adsorption temperature."

This report compiles a first estimate of the total CDR being deployed (2 GtCO2/yr).
Almost all comes from "conventional" CDR on land, via afforestation, reforestation & forest management.
"Novel" methods don’t contribute much yet.

We provide a calculation of total gross CDR in #IPCC-assessed pathways to keep warming below 1.5C and 2C, including all methods. All pathways involve substantial cumulative CDR volumes (450-1100 GtCO2 by 2100) - in addition to immediate & deep emissions reductions
