IRS 45Q Carbon Capture Incentive Alive and Well – Enhanced by U.S. Administration

(The most important carbon capture tax and cash pay incentive in the world has been upheld by the current U.S. administration and in some cases enhanced. Annually 61 million tons of CO2 are captured and safely stored, a drop in the bucket but Rome was not built in…

What’s next for carbon removal? Undue Widespread Pessimism

Stratos, 500 million ton per year air capture unit by Occidental Petroleum in the Permian Basin, Texas What’s next for carbon removal? Undue false and widespread pessimism in the popular press. Companies have still drawn down only enough CO2 to cancel out a few hours of US emissions.…

A new paradigm from the Arctic

(From Moore 2025) "The prevailing “consequences-based paradigm” defines the role of climate scientists as informing the public about the negative effects of climate change, assuming this will mobilize political action to reduce emissions. Under this paradigm, research into strategies other than decarbonization is often seen as counterproductive, an…

Near-Cryogenic Air Capture of CO2 for $68 ton

Summary - Total annual removal of 103–142 megatonnes of CO₂ based on humankind’s liquified natural gas regasification capacity by 2050. the authors state, "Our analysis estimates the net energy cost at 1.7–3.3 gigajoules per tonne of CO2—far lower than conventional DAC, which requires more than 7 GJ/tonne—along with…

Summary: The only way to stop collapse of the Amazon according to this studies modeling, is to reduce the temperature from today to below 1.5 C. Then and only then will tree mortality stabilize. Temporarily overshooting 1.5 C see forest loss continue for centuries because of degradation feedbacks.…
