(2024). The ocean carbon sink enhances countries’ inclusive wealth and reduces the cost of national climate policies. Communications Earth & Environment, 5(1), 513.Synopsis: This study assesses the economic value of the annual ocean carbon sink using both abatement cost and climate damage approaches. Conducted to enhance understanding of ocean carbon uptake, findings reveal that a 10% decline in the sink could raise national climate policy costs by up to USD 80 billion. Conversely, the sink's contribution to inclusive wealth ranges from USD 300 billion to USD 2,332 billion. The study highlights that while the abatement cost approach offers more reliable fiscal assessments, the damage-based method provides insights into wealth redistribution.
Linke, T., Oelkers, E., Möckel, S. C., & Gíslason, S. R. (2024). Direct evidence of CO2 drawdown through enhanced weathering in soils.Synopsis: This study evaluates the long-term impacts of engineered enhanced weathering using basaltic dust in an Icelandic Andosol over 3,300 years. Conducted to demonstrate the carbon balance, findings show that the added basalt has significantly increased soil alkalinity—over 10 times higher than basalt-free soils. The annual CO2 drawdown attributed to alkalinity generation is 0.17 t C ha−1 yr−1. However, changes in soil organic carbon storage are likely the primary driver of net CO2 drawdown from enhanced weathering.
Xavier, D., Claustre, R., Bonvin, E., Graf, I., Le Bayon, R. C., & Grand, S. (2024). Let the dust settle: Impact of enhanced rock weathering on soil biological, physical, and geochemical fertility. Science of The Total Environment, 176297.Synopsis: This study evaluates the effects of terrestrial enhanced rock weathering using basalt on soil properties in Swiss vineyards. Conducted to assess both the benefits and risks of ERW, findings show predominantly positive to neutral impacts on soil fertility. Notably, there was a 71% increase in earthworm abundance and a 50% rise in soil respiration one month post-application. However, concerns emerged regarding potential CO2 losses from organic matter and increased sodium levels, indicating risks of sodification. Further investigation is needed to determine the viability of ERW as a carbon dioxide removal technology.
Dong, X., Zhu, S., Chen, L., Li, X., Zhang, Y., Jiao, T., ... & Liang, P. (2024). Direct air capture of CO2 using bi-amines-functionlized hierarchical mesoporous silica: Effects of organic amine loading, moisture and temperature. Separation and Purification Technology, 129647.Synopsis: This study addresses the urgent need for efficient, low-cost CO2 direct air capture adsorbents amidst rising atmospheric CO2 levels. It presents a hierarchical mesoporous silica (HMS) synthesized via a novel method, leading to amine-functionalized adsorbents with a specific surface area of 570 m²/g and pore volume of 2.29 cm³/g. The adsorbent D-HMS-T-50 demonstrated a CO2 capacity of 4.99 mmol/g at 338 K and 1 bar, with low desorption energy (79.92 kJ/mol). These findings highlight D-HMS-T-50 as a promising candidate for effective CO2 capture with minimal energy costs.
Klaassen, M., Moosdorf, N., & Zimmer, M. (2024). Combined effect of burrowing mangrove crabs and tides on carbon fluxes. Bulletin of Marine Science.Synopsis: This study examines the role of sesarmid crabs in mangrove carbon storage, focusing on their burrowing behavior and its interaction with tidal flows. Conducted to clarify conflicting findings on crab-induced CO2 fluxes, results reveal significantly higher dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in porewater under microtidal conditions, but no impact from crabs on DOC content. Surprisingly, CO2 fluxes were lower in crab-present treatments, likely due to collapsed burrows preserving particulate organic carbon. The study emphasizes the need to account for burrow stability and tidal dynamics when assessing crabs' influence on carbon fluxes in mangrove ecosystems.
Naëck, K., Boutin, J., Swart, S., Du Plessis, M., Merlivat, L., Beaumont, L., ... & Sallée, J. B. (2024). Anomalous Summertime CO 2 sink in the subpolar Southern Ocean promoted by early 2021 sea ice retreat. EGUsphere, 2024, 1-28.Synopsis: This study investigates air-sea CO2 flux processes in the Southern Ocean, focusing on data collected during the "Southern Ocean Carbon and Heat Impact on Climate" cruise in 2022. Conducted to clarify the region's carbon sink dynamics, key findings reveal a strong carbon sink near Bouvet Island, linked to a phytoplankton bloom fueled by dissolved iron from early sea ice melt. The buoy recorded fCO2 levels as low as 310 μatm, indicating significant carbon drawdown. This phenomenon may intensify due to climate change, suggesting altered biogeochemical cycles in the region.
Vienne, A., Frings, P., Poblador, S., Steinwidder, L., Rijnders, J., Schoelynck, J., ... & Vicca, S. (2024). Earthworms in an enhanced weathering mesocosm experiment: effects on soil carbon sequestration, base cation exchange and soil CO2 efflux. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 109596.Synopsis: This study investigates the impact of earthworms on enhanced weathering and CDR through a mesocosm experiment with basalt. Conducted to address gaps in understanding soil organisms’ roles in inorganic carbon sequestration, key findings reveal that while basalt amendment without earthworms decreased soil CO₂ efflux, the presence of earthworms reversed this effect due to increased organic matter decomposition. The results emphasize the need to consider organic carbon dynamics in assessing enhanced weathering's CDR potential.

Conducted to address resource competition and sustainability concerns, it employs a process graph framework and Monte Carlo simulation. The findings reveal that while some higher-cost solutions offer greater reliability, they help decision-makers balance risk and expenses in NET implementation.

Key findings highlight the framework’s emphasis on scientific rigor, transparency, and the precautionary approach. It acknowledges scientific gaps and uncertainties, ensuring that MGE research is measured, legitimate, and environmentally responsible.
Lei, Z., & Pavia, S. (2024). Biomass ash (BA) waste as an activator to produce carbon-negative cement. CEMENT, 100112.Synopsis: This study explores the use of olive pit bottom ash (OBA) as a carbon-negative material for cement production to reduce environmental impact. Conducted to address the disposal burden of OBA, the study found that mixing OBA with waste GGBS produces cements with up to 60% OBA and a carbon sequestration capacity of -97.45 kg CO2e/m³. Using sodium carbonate as an activator significantly improved the compressive strength and mechanical properties of the cement.

🎥YOUTUBE VIDEOSState of CDR Report Presentation and Discussion with Market Experts and Practitioners | IETA “The webinar draws from the recently published 2nd edition of “The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal” report, which has rapidly become the go-to document for all things related to carbon removal. The report – prepared by IPCC-lead authors and other academic experts from across the world – explores the various CDR methods and their status, highlights their crucial role in achieving Paris-aligned temperature limitation goals, and considers the pathways, enablers and challenges determining their ability to contribute towards net zero emissions in the second half of this century. To date, support for CDR has largely stemmed from the voluntary carbon market, primarily through agriculture and forestry-based carbon credits. Interest in novel CDR has boomed in recent years, and developers of a range of methods – including biochar, rock weathering, direct air capture, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage and ocean-based removals – have struck significant carbon credit offtake agreements with selective corporate buyers. Most commentators agree, however, that compliance markets are essential to scale CDR. Yet, policymakers remain anxious about fully integrating CDR into current carbon pricing policies due to concerns over aspects like efficacy, efficiency, durability, reversibility, liability and moral hazards (including so-called mitigation deterrence). An improved understanding of the risks, and effective means to mitigate those risks, is vital before progress can be expected within current policies, including inside the UN’s Article 6.”
