Texas A&M developed pressure-based carbon capture — dissolve CO₂ in water like carbonating soda, depressurize to release.

Claims 99% capture at ~$26/ton vs $50-100 for amine scrubbing. Add lime → near 100% at $28/ton.

Still lab-scale, but the simplicity is compelling. No exotic solvents, no heat regeneration.

That's such a profound tension you're holding, Richard. You have to somehow contain this deep knowing - about those ancient cycles being broken, about the true scale of what's happening - and then walk into meetings where you need to be measured, strategic, practical.

It's like you're asked to be both the person who fully sees the emergency and the person who can't act like it's an emergency. That takes an enormous emotional toll - to know something is urgent and sacred, and then have to work within systems that treat it as manageable and incremental must be challenging.

Microsoft purchased 93% of all carbon removal credits globally in 2025. One company.

Great for keeping startups alive. Terrible as a market structure.

Without government procurement stepping up, CDR stays a corporate charity project — not an industry. Prices tell the story: nature-based credits avg $7-20/ton, tech-based CDR exceeds $500/ton.

Update on regional sprawl: it was still going strong in 2024. Bad for affordability, regional traffic congestion, air pollution, GHG emissions and more. BUT, that may be changing. More info: davethompsonvictoria.ca/leveraging-r... #yyj #climateaction #affordability #sprawl

And the fourth and last one of the illustrations I made for a nature trail on species protection. The nature trail leads through the community garden »Garten für Alle« and explains at individual stations how habitats for native plants, insects, and birds can be created using simple means, encouraging visitors to foster biodiversity in their own gardens as well.

The illustration belongs to the last station on the trail, the orchard meadow. Orchard meadows are meadows with fruit trees. They are cultural landscapes that are used for fruit growing and as pasture land. Usually, high-stem fruit trees are planted, that also grow to a relatively old age. The different areas of shade and light, as well as old, young, and dead trees growing side by side, create a great variety of structures in such meadows. Unfortunately, orchard meadows are endangered as habitats because they are less profitable for fruit growing than the low-stem plantations that are now common.

The illustration shows the various habitats of a meadow orchard where animals find a home, including tree hollows, wildflower areas, and deadwood corners.

The project was funded by the Saxony-Anhalt Ministry of Environment as part of the »NaturWasserMensch« funding programme.

The third one of the illustrations I made for a nature trail on species protection. The nature trail leads through the community garden »Garten für Alle« and explains at individual stations how habitats for native plants, insects, and birds can be created using simple means, encouraging visitors to foster biodiversity in their own gardens as well.

This illustration belongs to the spice forest. Various trees and large shrubs grow here, parts of which can be used as spices – hence the name. The berries of the Szechuan pepper, for example, taste similar to pepper, while the bark of the eastern sweetshrub tastes like cinnamon. Unlike many spice plants, which only grow in tropical climates and whose production requires a lot of resources, these plants can also thrive here and replace tropical spices. The area is also intended to provide shade, serve as a place of rest for gardeners and visitors, aswell as offering food and habitat for various animals.

The illustration introduces the various trees and shrubs that grow in the spice forest and creates a vision of what the area could look like in a few years, once the plants have grown bigger.

The project was funded by the Saxony-Anhalt Ministry of Environment as part of the »NaturWasserMensch« funding programme.

ArcelorMittal and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are testing a new carbon capture and utilization pathway with climate tech startup D-CRBN.

The concept: convert CO₂ captured at ArcelorMittal's plant in Gent, Belgium into carbon monoxide — which can be fed back into steel and chemical production.

This is the kind of CCU that could actually scale in hard-to-abate sectors. Steel alone accounts for ~7% of global CO₂ emissions.

The second of the illustrations I made for a nature trail on species protection. The nature trail leads through the community garden »Garten für Alle« and explains at individual stations how habitats for native plants, insects, and birds can be created using simple means, encouraging visitors to foster biodiversity in their own gardens as well.

This illustration belongs to the second station on the trail, the nutrient-poor grassland bed. Nutrient-poor grasslands, as the name says, develop on nutrient-poor soils and are among the most species-rich habitats at all. A large variety of wild herbs and flowers grow here, which in turn provide food and habitat for many insects, birds, and other animals. For every plant species, there are up to 100 animal species that depend on that particular species! Nutrient-poor grasslands are of little use to agriculture, which is why they are often converted into fertile meadows, making them endangered habitats. A nutrient-poor grassland bed in the garden is a good way to create a habitat for these plants and animals.

The illustration introduces different types of flowers, such as composite flowers and labiate flowers, and shows which insects particularly prefer which types of flowers.

The project was funded by the Saxony-Anhalt Ministry of Environment as part of the »NaturWasserMensch« funding programme.

One of four big illustrations I made for a nature trail on species protection. The nature trail leads through the community garden »Garten für Alle« and explains at individual stations how habitats for native plants, insects, and birds can be created using simple means, encouraging visitors to foster biodiversity in their own gardens as well.

This illustration belongs to the first station, the sand bed. For the sand bed, a layer of sand is applied to the bed before the plants are planted. The sand serves as a mulch layer and thus protects the soil from evaporation. Weeds find it more difficult to grow on the sand, and slugs also avoid it. And why sand beds are interesting for species protection: ground-nesting insects can use the sand layer for nesting.

The illustration shows the development of a wild bee in the sand of the bed, from egg to fully developed insect.

The project was funded by the Saxony-Anhalt Ministry of Environment as part of the »NaturWasserMensch« funding programme.

🌱 Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag. Und vielleicht findest du es wichtig, in Sachen Klimakrise auf dem neuesten Stand zu bleiben – nicht nur, um die Fakten zu kennen, sondern auch um Ideen zu bekommen, was du konkret tun kannst. Mittlerweile gibt es eine große Auswahl an Büchern zum Thema, und es kommen ständig neue und aktuellere dazu.

Die kann man unmöglich alle kaufen, und Büchereien sind eine tolle Alternative, um an neuen Lesestoff zu kommen.
Was aber, wenn die Titel, die dich interessieren, nicht in der Bücherei verfügbar sind?

Wünsch sie dir doch einfach! So kannst nicht nur du, sondern auch alle anderen Nutzenden der Bücherei das Buch lesen.
Unter Stichworten wie „Anschaffungswunsch“, „Anschaffungsvorschlag“ oder „Medienvorschlag“ kannst du deine Wünsche äußern. So etwas gibt es in den meisten Bibliotheken als Online-Formular. Du brauchst dazu nur ein Nutzerkonto oder einen Büchereiausweis.

Oft kannst du gegen eine kleine Gebühr das angeschaffte Buch direkt reservieren lassen.
Klar ist auch: Nicht alle Wünsche werden erfüllt – Bibliotheken müssen ihr Budget im Blick behalten. Aber du zeigst, dass es Interesse an Klimathemen gibt.

Mehr zum Thema findest du in unserem aktuellen Klimaschritt "Wünsch dir Klimabücher in der Bibliothek" https://my-friday.org/klimaschritte/klimabuecher-wuenschen/
