These are all being pursued by private interests in order to sell carbon offsets, which by definition delay fossil fuel phaseout. Plus studies haven't been done anywhere near long enough to justify century-long removals claims.

As the California Air Resources Board meets today to discuss rules for a “Carbon Capture, Removal, Utilization and Storage Program” a new report by @biofuelwatch.bsky.social exposes how California is doubling down on speculative carbon removal instead of cutting emissions at source.

Geoengineering Monitor @geoengmon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
The problem is that CDR is being promoted exactly as an emissions reduction delay tool. And what exactly is a durable removal? We've not come across one yet. CDR and solar geo share lots in common, whether it's techno-optimism, distraction from real solutions or being funded by the same industries.
