    SAI and international conflict - Morrissey

    SAI and international conflict - Morrissey

    William Morrissey explains how SAI could lead to conflict and counter-geoengineering. @geoengineering1 isn't convinced it will all end so badly.

    Holocene DAC, chemistry & biz - Timofte

    Holocene DAC, chemistry & biz - Timofte

    How do you establish and grow a DAC company? Anca Timofte has utilised a career leg-up from Climeworks to start her own DAC outfit, with some pretty fancy chemistry. @geoengineering1 gets the lowdown on how she did it - and what the future challenges are https://theholocene.co/

    Who gets to use CDR? - Bellona; Paul

    Who gets to use CDR? - Bellona; Paul

    Is the supply of carbon removal fundamentally limited, and how should it be allocated? Comrade Allanah Paul from Bellona sends @geoengineering1 to the reeducation camps in an attempt to expunge his bourgeois thinking. report: https://www.negemproject.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/D6.5_Who-should-use-NETPS.pdf

    Olivine ecotoxicity - Flipkens

    Olivine ecotoxicity - Flipkens

    Gunter Flipkens explains why everyone is worried about heavy metals leaching from olivine coastal weathering experiments. Then he explains how he tests the exact toxicity to animals, plus how to reduce it.

    MCB with drones - Claudel

    MCB with drones - Claudel

    Christian Claudel comes on to explore the issues around using drones to distribute MCB particles. These are made by anti-solvent precipitation (much like diluting Ricard spirit). Despite @geoengineering1 being AN ACTUAL AUTHOR on the paper he still finds plenty of opportunities for nitpicking.
    Paper: Marine-cloud brightening: an airborne concept
