BIG NEWS advanced R and D public body - Aria - created by the UK government with millions in funding potentially available for climate intervention

I just came across this website for Aria - Advanced Research and Invention Agency - a public body sponsored by the UK government through the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology. 

It is apparently somewhat modeled on DARPA - the US defense advanced research entity, though it appears to be entirely independent of the military.  

They are just starting up and have an appropriation of £ 800 million. 

It appears that anyone - individual, corporation, or university from the UK, and even potentially beyond the UK can apply for support. 

There are a number of program specialties each headed by a programme manager. The  managers were just announced yesterday.  

I’ve taken a screenshot below of the relevant language in support of funding for Climate intervention - both CDR and direct Climate cooling. 

The program manager for climate intervention is Mark Symes, a professor of Electrochemistry at the University of Glasgow. 

This appears to be an extraordinary opportunity and I urge our UK colleagues and others to reach out - perhaps in a coordinated manner - to Mark.

Thanks Herb,

Tthis is indeed an important development and certainly seems like a great opportunity...no doubt to be discussed and approached in a considered and timely manner by our various groups. 

Kind regards,

Daniel
