Google’s carbon emissions have soared by 51% since 2019—as AI hampers the tech company’s efforts to go green.

While they've invested in renewable energy & carbon removal tech, it's failed to curb indirect greenhouse gas emissions—in large because of data centers that power AI.

No pay wall.
Google’s emissions up 51% as AI electricity demand derails efforts to go green
Increase influenced by datacentre growth, with estimated power required by 2026 equalling that of Japan’s

So helpful. Thank you!
what level of scientific rigor/certainty does it take for a CO2 removal company to be “ready” for the voluntary carbon market? i explore this tricky q through the lens of Planetary, a startup using the ocean to drawdown atmospheric CO2. with insights from @carbonplan.org and @cworthy.bsky.social
Is It Too Soon for Ocean-Based Carbon Credits?
The science is still out — but some of the industry’s key players are moving ahead regardless.

This article shows one of many reasons why monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of biotic marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) techniques (e.g., iron fertilization; macroalgae cultivation) is nearly impossible. 🌊
A major pathway in the biological carbon pump is the gravitational sinking of particles. Wang et al., show how physical processes introduce significant heterogeneity in particle density at depth with clustering driven by eddy and frontal structures 🌊

As carbon removal moves from development to deployment, the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a promising hub of innovation, investment, and policy leadership. In a new op-ed for The Business Times, we explore APAC’s rising potential for carbon removal
If you tell me that you have a robust due diligence process for #CDR procurement and also have ERW in your portfolio than you should also mention you are not risk adverse.

“This paper presents a bold proposal to employ a buried nuclear explosion in a remote basaltic seabed for pulverizing basalt, thereby accelerating carbon sequestration through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW).”

Or, we could just stop burning fossil fuels🤷🏻‍♂️

🔓 : #Carbonmarkets could play a role in addressing the gap in #carbondioxideremoval, find Johnstone et al. @ox.ac.uk ‪@pik-potsdam.bsky.social

➡️ This requires examining current trends & future possibilities, especially those emergent in light of a transition from a voluntary to compliance market

There aren't really two sides to this story, as the byline makes it seem. The science is pretty clear that at best, soil carbon storage is temporary & might partially offset farm emissions, a bit. End of.
Essentially...no! Carbon markets have been mostly scams (e.g. shorturl.at/mEUnV) and soil carbon is particularly unreliable: one extreme weather event could easily cause the loss of carbon sequestered over decades. (More info here lunzhub.com/resources/te...)

Can trade in soil carbon credits help farmers – and the climate?
Regenerative agriculture has growth potential for the offsets market, but scientists question its green credentials

Heard a fair amount of skepticism at @unboundsummits.bsky.social gathering this week. Take a listen and learn. It’s critical that #CDR pathways build trust in each others tech!
Join us and Indigo on June 3rd to learn how soil carbon sequestration can support the decarbonization goals of higher education in our upcoming webinar, "Soil: A Powerful, Underestimated Climate Solution."
