How the Pacific Northwest leads the way in carbon removal

Source: (Environmental research) Study assessed environmental impacts of geopolymers from construction and demolition waste (CDW). Two mixtures: CDW100 (100% CDW) and CDW80SCM20 (20% SCMs). CDW80SCM20 had higher impacts due to SCM transport, especially in land occupation (30.8%) and global warming (16.9%). CDW-based mortars outperformed cementitious systems in most categories, reducing global warming by 48.1% but had higher aquatic eutrophication and ozone depletion. Ozone depletion linked to sodium hydroxide production.

As the effect of climate change worsens, crop yields in Africa could fall dramatically—one study projects an 18% drop in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region yields by 2050 if current climate trends…

There is a saying that 'knowing what the problems is, is a step towards solving it' We are facing the impact of climate change, and there are mitigation and resilience strategies rolled out to support farmers and farming activities in general. We have put up an educative article on Climate change and carbon farming on our website, endeavor to read and learn more.

🌍 Brazil's Pantanal—the world's largest tropical wetland—is facing its highest deforestation rates in 2025. But a new report reveals a powerful opportunity to transform this crisis into a climate and economic win. 💡 With the potential to generate 16.5 million voluntary carbon credits each year, the Pantanal could turn conservation into a high-impact nature-based climate solution. That translates into up to $247.5 million annually in revenue—creating real financial incentives to protect, not destroy, this unique ecosystem. 📝 Carbon Credit Breakdown: • 15.8 million REDD+ credits by preventing deforestation • 738,000 credits via afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) just approved ACR’s Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation of Degraded Lands Methodology to receive the CCP label. Projects awarded the CCP label are expected to enhance market confidence by signifying high-integrity carbon credits.  The Climate Trust currently has two ACR reforestation projects under development which aim to restore forestland lost to wildfire. If you're interested in developing a reforestation project, please contact us for more information! https://lnkd.in/gK-V9TSp

🌊 We’re pleased to share the second article in our 3-part series on Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR), developed in collaboration with ClimeFi. 📘 "Understanding the Emerging Opportunities for Marine CDR" takes a closer look at the range of technologies being explored — from: ⚗️ Ocean alkalinity enhancement 🌿 Macroalgae cultivation 🌊 Biomass sinking —and unpacks the opportunities and challenges tied to each. Marine CDR holds real promise as a climate solution, but scaling it responsibly will require: 🔬 Rigorous science 🧭 Strong governance 🌍 Global collaboration This article outlines where we are today — and what it will take to move from potential to impact. 🔗 Read Part 2 here: https://lnkd.in/gn_8t-q7 📣 Stay tuned for the final article in the series, where we dive into real-world case studies and what they reveal about the path forward. #MarineCDR #CarbonRemoval #BlueEconomy #ClimateAction #OceanSolutions #NetZero #OceanInnovation

🌐🌱The IPCC suggests biochar could remove 2.6 billion tonnes of CO₂ annually - yet investor confidence remains low. 📊💰Why? Uncertainty around biochar's carbon stability and wide variance between feedstocks are holding the market back. 💡📖In this article, I explore why a Biochar Carbon Sequestration Potential Index could be the key to unlocking trust, investment, and actualised climate impact. #Biochar #CarbonRemoval #ClimateTech #CarbonSequestration #NatureBasedSolutions #CarbonMarkets #NetZero #SustainableInnovation https://lnkd.in/erXARx36

Beyond carbon removal, biochar offers a practical, low-cost solution for climate resilience. This charcoal, made from carbon-containing feedstocks, empowers 530 million smallholder farmers to combat drought and flooding, improve soil health, and reduce air pollution, significantly impacting global sustainability.

Excited to share that our paper, “Development of a Consumption-Weighted Benchmarking Methodology for Asphalt Cradle-to-Gate Global Warming Potential in Colorado,” has been published in the Transportation Research Record. The study supports the implementation of Buy Clean Colorado by proposing a functional categorization approach based on key mixture design characteristics—such as binder type, nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS), and functional class—to explore how differences in material constituents may warrant subdivided benchmarking categories. We also examine how consumption-weighting can inform more representative Global Warming Potential (GWP) thresholds for asphalt mixtures. Thankful for the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of green public procurement and data-driven climate policy at the regional level. This paper was developed in collaboration with Christopher Senseney, PE whose support and guidance were instrumental throughout the project. Grateful as well to CDOT’s EPD team for their valuable support in data collection and iterative feedback. #EPD #LCA #benchmarking #BuyClean

Learn how Dakota Prairie Composting (DPC) is combating climate change through compost carbon sequestration in their latest blog article, "How We're Pulling Carbon from the Air." DPC explains how its carefully managed composting process plays a vital role in locking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere back into the ground, creating healthier soil and ecosystems.
