I married(officiated) my best friends wedding two weeks ago. Today I turn 31 and yesterday I got engaged. Now it's time to sequester CO2 at the gigaton scale.

Y’all know is off to her next carbon removal chapter (!) but I must say: Giana has inspired so many people to join the CDR field, including me.
Since then, I’ve watched her do the same for so many others AND I’ve been lucky enough to help tell her story. Thx, G!

A LOT of people asking me about the emo karaoke night. Here it is, bring eye liner and angst towards your parents!
NEW: We supported a deep dive by into the hydrogen demand side. There's strong consensus we need to rapidly scale up clean H2 supply to achieve net zero, but H2’s versatility means the breadth of uses remains subject to some uncertainty.🧵

To achieve net zero by 2050, we need innovative solutions to remove the carbon already in the atmosphere.
Today, BE’s will join & Antonia Gawel to discuss today’s technology & policy landscape for carbon management. Register:

We need to "build more high-voltage transmission lines that can carry electricity long distances, and use those transmission lines to better connect regions and communities to one another."

Whether it's powering your home, your business, your car or your personal DAC machine, we need clean power.
The key to unlocking all those GWs? 👇

Expanding high voltage transmission is one of the least discussed yet most important things we can do for climate, energy security, and grid resilience. If you want a crash course, check out a new Gates Notes post from out today. #energytwitter

There’s a lot to unpack in CDR, so we invited 2 of the world's foremost experts on the show to talk about it.

If we get this hydrogen thing right we will solve a huge chunk of power sector decarb. Y'all might not see it, but we have a windfall that could solve a major market issue. I'm gonna walk through why the H2 PTC is hot.
Not even gonna try to be relatable here, wonk level max.

Had an amazing conversation with and on the ! We covered the current and future state of carbon removal.

Also the 45Q credit for DAC utilization is not $120, it's $130. I remain awful with numbers.

US steel maker Nucor will produce steel plate for the US offshore wind sector w/90% recycled content & GHG emissions 1/5th the global average, the company says. The product will be produced at Nucor's new $1.7 billion steel mill in Brandenburg, Kentucky.

Removing carbon from the atmosphere is a critical part of reaching net zero. An @amsecproject panel on carbon emissions w/ BE’s @AndreasenJack will focus on how the public & private sectors can shape deployment of carbon capture technologies.

A literature review for direct air capture came out last year showing several technologic pathways to get under $500/ton.

On geologic storage, first sentence is 🫶 and the rest of paper is great too!

Scale-up is not limited by geology or engineering. Advances in understanding storage complex geology, subsurface fluid dynamics, and seismic risk underpin new engineering strategies including multi-site, basin scale, storage resource management.

This is huge!
There are plenty of states with the expertise to run their own Class VI program in a safe and robust manner.
Federal funding to support this effort goes a long way!

Inbox:
EPA says $50 million in grant funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law is available for states, tribes and territories to "develop and implement" their Class VI programs.
Class VI wells are used to inject CO2 into deep rock formations for storage (not EOR).

The DAC hubs program, storage and transportation programs, 45Q are worth tens of billions of dollars and this kind of magnitude is key to get the hard tech off the ground and down the cost curve.
Happy VC is stepping up but we need an all of capital approach!

Carbon management technologies are usually very CAPEX intensive, which is, in part, why we see so many more market places and verifiers than hard tech technology providers in the removals/offsets space.
But it also underlies the importance of federal funding.

True this year, and historically, carbon management (removal, capture, verifiers etc) is one of the LEAST VC invested climate change technology areas

We need more Class VI wells, a new kind of Class VI well and more states with primacy!
"But the whole thing is pointless without the storage." Is a pretty good summation of my professional life

I tweet about CCS and DAC because that's what I work on and enjoy. And we will need both, at scale.
But most reductions will importantly come from RE, nukes, batteries, EVs, efficiency, Tx build out, DERs, etc. We cannot deploy these fast enough! Let's build it all!

Carbon dioxide removal as a waste management service is a great analogy but how would it work in practice?
There's a menu of options, all with real world analogs.

Something I noted in my testimony: investments have to be equally distributed between rural and urban communities. It is unfair to students that programs are often inaccessible to them just because of where they live.
